I would prefer to skip DOH, but I also give a p'tur for LAX ppl because there are less routing options than JFK, so I allow them 1 more connection.  ;D

And flying through DXB/AUH you do approve, those aren't Arab countries any more?!  :P :P

Just got off the phone with AC. While they were not willing to manually request FRA-JFK they were willing to book me onto a married segment (VIE-FRA-JFK Biz) to then remove the 2nd part of it and add FRA-EWR to it as VIE-FRA stand alone was not available for a time in which I could have made FRA-EWR.

Nice, well done!

Yup, plus I'll bring back pictures of her dressed like this:

Huge mistake. Start convincing her now.

This is Mrs. AJK at the Mosque. Was breathtaking. (Both seeing the Mosque and seeing her like that :P)

8/29 CX J SIN-HKG-EWR 3pax. Time to put a KE F trip on hold for the same dates. I have way too many overlapping trips...

Would have around 3 hours to spend in FCT. Get a snack, some drinks, shower, Cigar room and get driven to the plane. Its the best LH has to offer in terms of ground service.  All the things FCT is known for. But I don't know how much better it is then MUC considering that it would be a 2 hour shlep home instead of a 15 min drive from JFK.

And-biggest of all- bragging rights to Muggles outside DDF and status within DDF :))

I currently have Option 2 booked, but I'm thinking about switching to this.



MEL-DXB = QF F a380
1:25 connection
DXB-JFK = EK F a380

Departs MEL Wednesday 10:55pm -  arrive ORD Thursday night.

Thoughts?

1:25 may be tight, no? But QF F > KE F IMO.
