Lol. What a misunderstanding.  :)

MIA-TLV: Either 115k MR(AC) p/p in F or 82.5k MR(AC) p/p in J
TLV-ICN-SGN: 95k UR(KE) p/p
SGN-NRT: 30k AA p/p
NRT-AUH-JFK-MIA: 45k AA p/p + 90k AA p/p

Total: 165k MR (230k) // 190k UR // 330k AA

No reason not to. So many segments and I oversaw this. Happy it is still so far out and this won't be dealt with until we are within 1-2 weeks of the trip. Thanks Meir!

How long ago did you waitlist it?

Which plane?

I believe it's 787-8. I'll double check when I'm in front of a computer.

ETA: It is.

Changed my flight from JFK-AUH-MLE in F/Y to JFK-AUH-DOH-MLE in F/"F"/J.

Going to keep an eye out and see if EY direct to MLE opens in J.

Just to try out the Al Safwa lounge in DOH, or just to avoid Y for a ~4 hour flight?

When the starts align and one can accomplish both via a 1h15m flight, life is sweet.

Unless you *really* wanna see Al Safwa, adding a connection to avoid a 4 hour connection in Y is... interesting. Especially, if you're not getting lie-flat J.

Both.

Plus get a chance to fly with QR.

Without the kid all options are suddenly open.

I would personally go the new route you're taking, make sure your wife is up for it though!  :D
