I think planning to book is more fun
Not if you can just book now on a whim and not have to worry about it.

Greece doesn't let Americans in if I'm not mistaken, so not surprised they cancelled the flight

Yes! I called their airport offices until I found someone competent.

You would even try American? ;)
When I flew through DOH, I sat in the airport, didn't try to go out and support a country like them more than having to fly through them.

Tip for getting free nap rooms in the Al Safwa first lounge: come in with a crying baby. When we first got in at 11:45pm, they didn't have any rooms available. Then my 4 month old started crying. We were rushed from reception to another room and 2 minutes later they magically had a room for us.  ;D
