Tough one, but I'd go with SQ from EWR. Less driving with a baby could be easier.

Toughie indeed. It's not *that* much less, but it is closer and has cheaper parking.

You can't use them within the next 6 months? If so I'd choose to extend the miles for 6 months for $12.

Well, to use them in the next 6 months, I'd have to pay $70 ($60 above was a mistake, it's $12/10K) not $12, and have a use for them, and I'm not sure at this point what it'd be.

If only I could pull that off.

I don't get how they will be able to sell the double seat to someone that doesn't want a queen sized bed, it wouldn't make sense to offer a product like that, unless they're doing it to compete with the residents.

Someone writing in the comments over there that this company is known for hoaxes and unrealistic renderings just to get media attention.

Never seen a jet this empty.

Load on this AA flight is 11/80.

The RJ TLV-AMM leg regularly operates like that.

Cool! The emptiest flight I was on had 3/50 seats taken. Out seats were also redistributed for weight and balance. Fun times.

Yup. Was also very light when I flew last August.

Isn't QF F a superior experience to QR F? Add that to the fact that an extra stop with an infant isn't as fun, I'm in favor of staying with what you've got unless you really want to try QR F.

Nice, good to know.

Remind me, is baby AJK coming too? If yes, you'd best keep what you already have and not chance whatever remaining sanity you have left globe-trotting with a baby somewhere over the Gulf.
