5 tickets in Y on UA for next mid-winter break in Panama:

Den-IAH (stopover to take care of some work stuff and see NASA with the kids)
IAH-PTY
PTY-Den (only flies direct once a week)

35k pp (175k total) on SQ and $115 taxes pp no YQ, for what would have cost me $1200 pp, super stoked!

LH J/F TLV-FRA-JFK held for my wife and daughter (lap). The US call center seems like it can't book TLV-ZRH-FRA-JFK, so I'm going to have to try and get the German call center to change the hold.

Going to wait till 2 weeks out to be able to book my seat.

Departing right after YK shofar and returning on the eighth day of Sukkot  ;):

BOS-ZRH-TLV LX Y (BOS-ZRH is A-330)
TLV-YYZ-BOS AC Y (TLV-YYZ is 787)

Three pax, $805 pp.

Besides drugs and alcohol, will happily take suggestions for tolerating the Y flights. I hear the legroom on LX A330 is very tight.  :'(

PHL-MSY
MSY-PHL

7.5k Avios/person

At 1,089 miles, it's probably the farthest band 2 awards you can get from PHL. Cash price is $323, so just over 2cpp.

Yup, at least hopefully. We may leave the baby with my in-laws for the night (we'll only be there 1 day).

Just booked for 2 people:

LAX-SLC-LHR on Delta: 62.5k miles + $5.60pp: (R) and (O)

AMS-IAH-LAX on United: Plan B, paid 70k + $53.96pp: XN waitlisted for I (i.e. Plan B)

Someone elsewhere suggested I should have been charged less for the United flight, that a Business Saver Award is only 57.5k even though the cabin is all BusinessFirst?

UA has different prices for flights on UA metal and *A partners.

Both legs are on UA Metal, as far as I can tell. I booked it that way because I understood that's the only way to make a Plan B work.

*Update: Dan confirms I was overcharged.

Whoops. You're right. I guess we don't have a thread for What Revenue Itinerary Did You Just Book/Hold. Still, this revenue booking was as cheap or cheaper than using miles.

First premium cabin trip with the family:

JFK-DOH (QR A350)
DOH-JNB (QR 788)

in J X3

And for the return I needed a full day in LHR, thus:

JNB-LHR - SA J
LHR-FRA - LH J (overnight)
FRA-ORD - UA F

6k UA per person. On the return, I got UA to add it as an additional leg to my HNL-EWR reservation that I made a few months ago so didn't have to pay anything, but for the outbound it was $5.60 per person.

Well that explains why you couldn't add the WP flight to the outbound.
