Alol :) - If you go to SCL from GRU you can also try out LAN's 787 new J. You can even go touring there a few days, no more fee for Americans, unlike GRU & EZE.

If only I had more time! :)

As it stands, I'm only going to be on the ground in GRU for 65 mins.

If you have a tiny delay, wouldn't be too good. AA and JJ use different concourses.

Let's hope there's no delays, or if there are, it's less than 30 mins :)

Can someone explain to me this crazy hobby?

Yes, I am in the same boat  :'( wouldn't I have a wife with 2 kids as of now, I would probably join AJK as well.

But can someone explain this to me? Why should I stay up till 2 o'clock in the morning reading AJK's trip planing thread that I will never take in my life? Why do I get excited when Freddie PMs me that he has to get hom from Australia and he can't find availability and I start searching via Asia and Im up again till 2:00 AM?

I'd like an explanation, too. As I've said before, this game is like a rabbit hole for me. I start looking into this, and looked up and it was four hours later.

Something about having been plagued with the insatiable desire to get the most bang for your buck, putting together intricate puzzle pieces, scouring the earth for gold with a metal detector, and traveling in a manner which far exceeds ones station :)

I'm utterly and hopelessly addicted.

Well said, AJK.

I see some DDFrs who were in the same illness in 2008 fell much better in 2014, see Eli and AsherO. Maybe one day.

Red outbound; yellow inbound.

I actually was the same like 2 years ago when Chase came on board with their INK cards and I discovered the miles game, I was crazy just to fly LH F. I flew like 12 F long haul segment (even took along my children a couple times). Killed the urge, now I'm mostly selling miles.

Don't shove your urges under the rug, let it out, book your awards and enjoy it while it lasts, and it will cool off eventually, then you'll cool down.

Lol, totally certifiable.

IMHO you need to at least stay a night in GRU/GIG/IGU/EZE so that you don't get locked up.

Still have to confirm visa issues... some things I read online say the TWOV (transit without a visa) is good as long as you have an onward ticket; some indicate that onward ticket has to be to a third-country, and not back to country of origin.

Anyone know one way or the other?
