Put your wife in EY F and see if she's still rolling her eyes.

Ive heard that EY is pretty generous with their commissions but you must have some sort of epic arrangement  :D
Watch this inspiring video.

Lol

Had to pick either EY or EK, and went the one we enjoyed slightly more.

Mistake, IMO.

As an American, Hawaii will always be there. And it's also easier to schlep kids on an 11 hour non-stop flight (to HNL) then it is a 14 hour to a connection to a 4-6 hour flight (to MLE/MRU/SEZ).

Strike now while you have the chance.
Agree and disagree.

It's true that you're more likely to bring kids to HI.
But it's also true that HI with kids can't possibly compare to HI without kids.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Her response to that was "I'm not flying an Arab airline". (Not for safety, but for supporting them.)
Agree and disagree.

I think I'll just keep saving up miles and then when the time comes, see where I can find availability.

Awesome.

What do you, if I may ask? I mean aside from living the dream? :)
