Did Europe on a 30k award.
Yeah, it was a long time ago -- on Pan Am (30k mile ticket).
Fly Bos-Athens. Took a commuter flight to Corfu. Stayed for a week. Took the boat to Brindisi, then the train through Italy, France and Spain and Flew back from Madrid to Boston.
Pan Am left my luggage in NYC for 4 days, so I was stuck at a Greek beach, so I bought a couple of bathing suits and t-shirts. When I filed my report in Madrid, I was upgraded for the return. I received 22k miles on the trip.
Then I received a $500 voucher for the baggage problem.
