Probably out of date, but should give better advice than just searching JFK to HNL!

Thanks for the info. I could not find saver reward tickets back to BOS/JFK from Rome, Venice or Florence for 4 people before August 25.  It seems there are enough saver reward tickets to go to Italy, but not way back.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Make the trip a couple days longer and take a train to Zurich, do Lucerene and fly back from there?

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately there is no saver award ticket availability either.

I have been searching Europe to the East coast for the past few weeks. I have not found availability from any city that I can think of. I called CS and they could not find a single city that had availability. This was on United and AA.
