how can Transfer to aa from Amex or ur?
Don't think either of those transfer to AA. They do transfer to other OW partners such as BA which can book on AA.

Only viable AA transfer partner is Marriot.

IHG and Hyatt aren't at favorable rates.

Thinking of trying to get some food delivered to MIA during a stopover between a domestic and international flight ala Dan's Uber method.

Arrive at MIA at 11:20AM
Depart from MIA at 12:50PM

Think its enough time to get out to meet an Uber driver safely?

Dan always says to look for 1 ticket first but what if you need more then 1?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I think the general idea would be that you would look for one ticket at a time and book each one as you find it.  If you can't get all the tickets you need, you would go back and cancel those tickets you purchased. Virtually always have a 24-hour free cancellation period.

I look for 1 ticket to see what flights there are.  Once I choose what I want, I start again with the real number of passengers.  If that flight doesn't show up, it likely has fewer seats available than  you need.  You then decide on splitting your party of not.

The reason he says that is because sometimes there is one seat left at the cheaper price.. So if you search for 2 they will give you 2 at the higher price. By searching 1 at a time you will get the cheaper price on the 1 seat and then you can book a second at the higher price

So you risk not sitting together right?

Quicker than it takes to have them put a reservation on hold.
Should be under 10 min.

Most likely, stand by, meaning they will assign you a seat at boarding or bump if no room, but highly unlikely.

After these posts was starting to get excited about getting bumped ( maybe still will) but when I finished check in and went to online view of boarding pass it assigned me a seat.
