just upgraded FRA-LAX to Lh f

Now at least the YQ starts being a bit more worth it.

There's always a breaking point. For me, it was enough to tell my wife that many people on DDF (plus people that we actually know personally) have done it without issue.

I only have 75K AS miles, but I have about half a million UR, AA, TY, MR, and spg combined.

Currently looking at Cathay to HKG or BKK. Also Air Tahiti Nui to PPT.

Any other recommendations?

After letting my original AA hold expire, I decided to check again today if the more direct routing was available and it was. New AA hold.




~24 hours in J for 75k AA per passenger. A350 and 787.
