I'm glad HUCA worked.

but beware, while you may have the soft product Polaris, you will likely not have the hard product by then on that route.
See an article posted today on OMAAT
He said 777s are the first ones that will have it, so hopefully they'll have it on that route by Q4 of 2017.

I doubt they'll upgrade the pmCO plane near the top of the list. Your best bet is if they replace it with the 77W, which I doubt will happen honestly. They'll probably first replace the 2-4-2 business 772.

IAD-CDG-CAI
MAD-CDG-IAD

And the same with JFK instead of IAD.

~121k MR and ~110k MR, respectively, in J.

All on AF so we'll be sampling the 380, 320, 777, and 787.

AMS-FRA-EWR-MCO LH J/F UA J


Still not 100% sure if I'm taking this over
AMS-IAH-MCO in UA J

I won't have time to use the FCT. But I've never flown LH F before.

I'm flying ams-fra-ewr tomorrow on LH and want to change the ams-fra segment to an earlier flight. Will that screw up my confirmed ksml on the fra-ewr segment? Mileage ticket w aeroplan

If they reissue the ticket (Which they likely would) any special request will automatically be cancelled.

i had once that i changed my flight from business to first FRA-LAX on LH 5 hours before the flight and when i got to the plane they had the business class KSML, so my guess is within 24 hours they don't update the orders at all even to cancel a meal

JFK SFO 1A LAX  50K AA, May have to be in LA next week, really worth the 50K AA A320 F for a once in a lifetime experience? (Undecided) not short of AA miles, thanks to family!!!!
Was just going over the award charts and noticed that this can be booked for 32.5k AS + $18.1 ($5.6 tax + $12.5 partner booking fee).

You can find for cheaper than that. Next Wednesday, for example:

Funny how the example date was Yom Kippur.

Although looking now, flights that cost $550 (starting price for Saturday nights) are only 41.4k B6 points in Mint.

Starting to fill in the open jaw.

CAI-DXB (EK J)
AUH-LHR-AMS (EY F and BA J)

Looks like we're gonna train down to ORY to fly to RAK then to MAD to close it up.  Final itin should be:

IAD-CDG-CAI-DXB/AUH-LHR-AMS/ORY-RAK-MAD-CDG-IAD

Not that crazy. I had to get the TLV once and did this routing.

ORD-HKG - CX F
HKG-SIN - SQ R
SIN-SYD - SQ R
SYD-AUH - EY F
AUH-AMM - EJ J
AMM-TLV - RJ J

Now that, WAS an epic fun trip. *Taken over the course of a week and a half.
