Adding on NYC-PHL, or not available?

The flight is available, but not as one itinerary. I may call AS and see if they can add it on, but frankly driving may just be easier. Not to mention one less connection - in December, the simpler the better.

Seems LGA-PHL is available. In case of weather delay (doubt there would be in early December) they can always reroute you from NYC to BUE through many other options.

Oops. That must be it. Although I did email their customer service to confirm they didn't charge for the stopover or the phone booking.


Confirmed with them they did NOT charge YQ but they DID charge the Stopover fee so getting almost half the fees back.

7am arrival in BCN 430pm departure and 1 hour layover in AMM. Best I can do for the time of year it was booked for.

Same for the way back too? Staying in MOZ or splurging to BOB?

Return was booked with AA on TN for 36k X2.
Correction for the LAX-PPT flight: Flying on AF booked through DL on MR portal (35% back).

Booking today my PPT-BOB RT flights for about 29k a person on UR portal since it’s not showing up on either MR or Merrill portals.

Splurging and staying 5 nights at SR and one night at Conrad.

Per MR. IIRC I had a redemption of 18+ when I flew QF F.

Found it:

JFK-LAX in AA F 321
Stopover for 23h 13m in Los Angeles
LAX-SYD in QF F 380
Layover for 4h 25m in Sydney
SYD-AKL in LA J 787

65,250 AA Miles (Pre-Deval) = 18.31 CPM.

Found it:
*Calls broker: "I have 60k MR to sell at a discount of 15cpp"*

On a serious note I was pretty excited recently when I got 5cpp.
