Worth noting, if you are staying in the PH under a diamond account you can get free kosher breakfast and the hotel gets in from the chabad. If you order food from chabad tell them you are staying there and they are delivering your breakfast and they won't charge you for delivery for their food since they are bringing your breakfast anyways.

Are you referring to food for other meals?

Yes
For "other" meals, did you get in touch with them to see what they offer. The website doesn't seem to have any real menu.

Levi Krinsky and I were working under the official shliach when we were in Tokyo in 2005.  Actually bumped into Edery in a Fedex store when he was making a sign for Kosher Delica, I think it had a yechi flag on the sign as well.

What do you order for breakfast?

Next time i can get away and the wife will be in between school semesters.

Added with the JAL F availability, it sounds like it may be nice.

Dan, what's wrong with Japan in January- besides colder temperatures (heard its around low 40's)? Thinking of going there as well at that time.

We used AA miles to fly tlv to hkg on elal and they charged us 10% of the lowest market fare (which in bis came out to about $300 each way)

From JFK in F, i was quoted $1,123.30...

I'd rather use miles to pay for a seat. I need to see if that is an option.

Did you try calling a few times because the first agent by me quoted like 6-700 for the one way for the infant. When I called back again the next agent quoted $300 and said that the previous agent had not searched for the lowest fare in the market available....

In hindsight-after spending $600-I should have purchase 60,000 miles for the infant and he would have had his own seat... :P

Nothing available in F for the flight. Is it possible to book a third ticket (this would be with BA) and add infant that way?

Meaning my wife would be booked in F through AA and have a J or Y ticket from BA.

Try to book an adult with an infant using BA in Y and cancel just the adult you mean?

No. Having a third ticket and just sitting in F on that ticket.
