It seems that anything besides a date change is likely to trigger a reprice.

Afraid of that.

Dan --

You've said buy premium baggage insurance when you flay multiple segment international.

I thought you'd said you get Amex premium, but it doesn't look like they offer it anymore:

Do you get something else?

Definitely take a quick flight over to CNX and hit either USM or HKT and the surrounding islands.

It'll be great.

Have DPS-BKK-FRA-MUC-YYZ in TG F (A380) and LH F on hold for 70K.

Booked.

Question:

Who thinks it's worth it to change the above to be DPS-BKK-FRA-MUC-YYZ-NYC on the hopes that if FRA-NYC opens up on the 744, it won't trigger a reprice because the O/D remain the same?

Thursday-Monday in CNX should be perfect.
USM is mainly just for the Conrad.
Nothing lost by skipping BKK.
Ko Phi Phi looks neat.

Don't routing changes now constitute a change for UA now?

Definitely the 380.

340 doesn't even have new F.
