    How to make enemies...! [by weighing carry-on]

    Marriott Travel Packages - What Airline Points to Convert to?

I'm likely to purchase 2 vouchers before Aug 1st - trying to think of what category for the hotel and which airline ff program for the points whilst in the dark about what will happen to them! I'm thinking AA or AS and leaning towards...

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Honestly without being able to have proper stop over in Tokyo - Guam isn't worth it. Unless you just really want to try the JAL suites for less miles?! Most of the hotels are pretty run down, the place feels stuck in the 90's tbh. Saipan is nicer and even that's nothing special

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    I've noticed Tahiti Nui is an AA partner but one of the rules of travelling to PPT is it cannot be via Aus/NZ - but doesn't state if that includes starting in Aus/NZ It might be worth a call to an agent, because for 30k points in J it seems like exceptional value. Especially for those of us...

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    I've done it twice once to Saipan when USDM was still *A The second time I booked was to Guam on OW in the period of transition when agents were still a bit confused about all the rules - both times I stayed much longer in Japan (when they allowed a stopover!) then either of GUM/SPN

    Didn't realise at the time of booking that JAL787 on the NRT-YVR-NRT route was the old style neo angle flat bed - I thought it was the new suites! I've changed this section of the trip from July to August next year and grabbed some direct CX flights instead (also saved $552 in taxes in the...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    I see most ppl in this thread opt for the 280k J award, is this because first availability is too scarce to be able to make a decent trip? 420k F looks like good value to me providing you can maximise your long haul flights - and find dates that work together. If anyone could post an example...

    Yea I've changed the routing slightly. HEL-SIN-KUL-PER AY MH MH PER-HKG-YVR-HKG-KUL CX CX CX KA You are correct about the YVR availability, bugger all around - I'll keep looking, the dates aren't that critical yet, I might end up booking then moving them back to later in the year anyway.
