    all day layover in Nadi

    Thanks Catweazle for your suggestion. Especially for your careful portrayal of the dynamics around the guy who sells fresh coconuts on the beach. I hope I didn't come across as real intolerant in my OP - I went shopping once in Suva many many years ago and it was not a very relaxing experience.

    20% Bonus when transferring to AAdvantage Miles - 20k SPG = 30k AA Miles

    Thank you for the heads up locopano. I note that you alerted us this time last year. Does it happen August each year? And only once per year?

    SPG and AA is BACK ON!

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Re: Couple of AAdvantage questions from a newbie to it Thank you for the many suggestions. So... I take it no one thinks there is much merit in waiting to see if anything from Milan to Sydney on those dates will eventually turn up?
