    American Airlines - CRJ700 or MD80 ?

    +2… However in F the CRJ would be the winner In Y if flight times were the same or similar I would have preference for the CRJ That said, as per above, the least amount of time in Y on any aircraft is preferred

    Best way to book an American Airlines (ex US) flight

    Ditto... I usually use the AU site as the Instant Upgrade fares on the flights I book work out to be the same price, HOWEVER, the AU site never seems to show the 'FIRST SPECIAL' fares which are even cheaper than the Instant Upgrade fares. i.e. I normall fly LAX-DFW-CMH at least 4 times per...

    Ideas for AFF Gathering #7

    Another hands up for HBA here ZQN would be great, BUT I am a strong believer in KISS, simple is good and ZQN, or anywhere in NZ would be fun, but it may rule more out for whatever reason over somewhere on local ground (yes, I know some still think Tasmania is another country) ;)

    New new new DSC offer [only until Nov 2 - Specific Routes/Class/Dates]

    Booked my Y+ LAX-SYD-LAX a few weeks earlier than I was intending to. The lure of 180 extra SC's and a fare of $2,800 was just too good to pass up

    QF860 Inaugural Flight

    At T-24 (give or take 1-2 minutes) 860 gave me seq 33, so as you said.. either a lot of long haul folk, or the QF folk got in real early. 861 was seq 2, within a few seconds of it hitting T-24

    Got the offer yesterday, and it has come at the perfect time. I was going to book LAX-SYD-LAX in Y+ this weekend, both sectors within the time frame for the promo... After reading the T&C multiple times, I can only assume these flights will be eligible, regardless of them originating in the...

    SJU Fly In/Fly Out Question

    Yes, I noticed there was an A/C there... After looking at some of the flight times I am starting to think I may be better served arriving there late in the evening and catching a morning flight back to LAS via MIA/JFK/ORD Once I have final details regarding my schedule at the trade show I will...
