Definitely, I'd say they prefer if we can all be herded onto the same flight. Michelle has seen us last year Originally Posted by oliver2002

I'd be interested as well, since it's about 9k BIS miles JFK-FRA-IAH...Originally Posted by oliver2002

Might even entice me to aim for CO Plat this year...

No miles on CO... Then again, would make it even more strange if combining it with only the FRA-IAH part and flying back to Europe on a whole different itinerary... Originally Posted by oliver2002

OS has now given us their offer JFK-VIE-FRA too ^ Will post it during the day.
If there are add-ons for the trans-atlantic fares from Hawaii, what about Canada (eg YVR)?Originally Posted by oliver2002
You will be able to use the group fare to start on a longhaul to FRA a few days before Nov 1 if would like too. You will miss the festivities in JFK. This was available last year too and will be so again. The longest trip taken that way was the one the coffee guys did from KOA to FRA OS has now given us their offer JFK-VIE-FRA too ^ Will post it during the day.

Great, because I just booked LH405 (F) November 1, and LH440 (Y) November 3, using 125,000 US miles.Originally Posted by tommy777
The dates are set in stone. So are the TATL flights. Everything else is subject to change

I took it as a high opinion of FTers, and a low opinion of gatecrashers, with the implication of gatecrashers as non-FTers. Of course I could be incorrect about this.Originally Posted by RCyyz
I had to smile at this. It coveys a high and low opinion of FTers all at the same time.

Congrats. Appears you got the last of the award seats on both flights, at least in the two premium classes.Originally Posted by USirritated

Will definitely do the NAmerican events, but likely pass on the TATL component. Is May 15th still the anticipated launch date for bookings? I seem to recall Tommy mentioning this date in LA last week (even being "under the influence" of two wicked American Pale Ales of intense hoppiness and 6%+ alcohol).

Thanks but, I actually only got economy (I used "Y" to refer to that, but for LH, does "Y" connote business class as opposed to coach/economy?) for the return on LH440. I was kind of bummed that I needed to use a 125,000 first class award, yet only ended up with First or Business on one of the two flights. So, to clarify, I got FIRST on LH405, and ECONOMY on LH440.Originally Posted by Shareholder
