LOL

I sometimes daven at Beis AJK of the NorthEast in such circumstances. Though I hear that there will be a similar congregation in SE Asia this summer...

Every sfardi place I've davened at ends 20% quicker than ashkenizic :)

There are few things I enjoy as much as the Heicha Kedusha during Mussaf at KZ in HKG

If you want to dive you cannot miss Tulamben in Bali where they have a very cool shipwreck and many tropical fish. That alone will be a full day trip from any of the areas you will be staying. You also can't miss Nusa Lembongan which is a really cool island off the coast of Bali that has no cars, awesome drift snorkeling and great beaches. So 4 days is really tight.

If you only did 4 days how many days would you have for say Langkawi?
whats to do there for 9 days?
is there chabad therE?

Shhh... secret for y'all:

I've been looking for OZ F for awhile now, and this morning, I was able to snag it :)

When UA didn't show ANY availability for JFK-ICN, even one seat in any class, I thought something was up. So I went to ANA and it showed a LOT of availability.

So if you're looking to get rid of some UA miles before the deval, now's the time.

I let the JL SkySuite go for this, but I figure it saves me a day of travel, I get to use UA (which have a date certain for deval) instead of AA (which will happen, just not sure when), and I get to leave on Sunday instead of Monday. Right choice?

Are you stopping anywhere along the inbound route? That's a lot of flying...

Nope. Just enough time to enjoy the F lounges in BKK and FRA.

Called 2 UA departments to test book OZ F.
They said there's an OZ outage until 10pm EST at which point it will be back on UA.com and over the phone.

Probably can be done with HUCACACA but it'll be a pain.

Not sure what that means exactly, but mine was just confirmed, though waiting for a TKT #.

Only if you'll use the time in ICN to go to the DMZ or something interesting.

I probably would if booking from scratch, but not sure I'd want to eat the $150/pp change fee plus less time at my destination at this point.

Other may disagree.
