Would be interesting to know what they would do with the plan b mileage diff if you plunked down the $900.

Would be a fight I bet.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Great TR and photos.

Thanks. Looking forward to yours IYH :P

I'd certainly be *entitled* to my mileage back, but though I agree it'd likely be a battle, I'd wager it'd be returned.

Too bad this was the "beginning" of a J TLV award so I wasn't entitled to anything.

Well,  let's hope that you don't end up entitled to anything

Meaning,  if plan b does not work for the rest of the trip,  you are entitled. But that would be sad

Oh, no, no.

For the rest of the trip, I'm already in biz :)

You're welcome.

But I didn't have bad luck on all segments. Just this one. We were both upgraded to business class on the outbound, and my wife was upgraded to business on the inbound. And, I had the Jewish business class on the inbound, too, so even that wasn't terrible luck.
I know, I know. I was referring to the chopper + return. But yeah, overall a win!

[As an aside, this was seriously the most wonderful toilet I've ever had the distinct pleasure of being able to use. Not to be to vulgar, but I almost bought laxatives just to be able to visit more often. Heated, comfortable, and had all the bells and whistles one could want. I miss it just writing about it.]

Alas, all records must be broken... and the throne at the GHK was broken by the one in the Fairmont PEK...
