I added something to the conversation: You got curious.

On a serious note, not everything can be spoonfed on a public forum, he's giving you a hint ואידך פירושא זיל גמור.

Adding nothing ?? when i have a trick, i can either
1) choose to spill it out loud

2) say 'folks, there's some digging to be done' or

3) I can just say ziltch.

I chose option 2. feel free to prefer option 3

My friend, you seem to have overlooked the fact that I did not quote you when I said "you've added nothing."

As for you, I'm open to PM :P

You clearly don't know who AJK truly is.
There's a reason that he doesn't use his real name on the forum... It would blow ppl's minds.

We're cool :)

Anywayyyyy, seems like the last person you want to be on bad terms with would be meshugener. He seems to like to follow people around the forums, be overly combative for less than good reason, and has a tough time letting go of alleged slights :P

Oh come now, Mr. Drago. We all know how much you like to fibb, embellish, and tell colorful stories of heroism, risk, and adventure.

When you're awarded a purple heart, you can tell over the same stories.

Anywhere you could point me to read regarding your post you deleted?  I'm curious about your "dirt, dirt cheap".  Thanks

Can't talk much about that. let me just say this: its not done via the method which a travel-hacker would think when reading my post. its something totally different...

Saga is finally over. Flights opened up on their own. Changed to O class. Hurray
Would it be wrong to sabotage a possible family simcha to ensure I can take this trip?

I am not sure it makes sense to open a new thread so I will post my question here..
I have 3 tickets JFK-FRA on LH in I class on the A380, booked with United miles before the devaluation. I want to experience the A380 in O class. What is the best way for me to go about it? TIA

A)  you need to first find F availability, a task which on their A380 is extremely hard for two seats, let alone three.

2) switching cabin on a pre deval award technically requires reprice. YMMV.

May have the same issue, (un)fortunately.

I would be happy upgrading 1 ticket..  The other should be happy they are not sitting in economy  ;D ;D ;D
Is it better to check ANA or United's website? When should I realistically start looking for availability? 2 weeks out?

Check ANA. They say 15 days, though I've seen most open less than two weeks before. What route?
