First off, I discovered this site several months and I must admit that I have spent hours looking through the different threads and have learned a lot from lurking. Finally, I have decided to take the big leap and register because I finally set a goal: Go to Europe next fall from Hawaii (where I am stationed in the military) first class. I have a few questions/need some advice and I figured you all are in the best position to offer it. Here it goes. Due to my government miles plus some other miles, I have accumulated miles in several FF programs (70K in DL, 30K in UA, 18K in NW, 20K in AA, and 17K in HA). Obviously, Delta is the program with the most miles and I will reach the 120K needed for award travel, so that is my goal. Any ideas on how to possibly transfer some of the miles in other plans to DL? Also, trip planned for Sep/Oct 2004. Can I expect any problems on booking the award travel? Where to book to and finally, not very impressed with DL First so I was thinking of booking with Virgin Atlantic or Air France. Thoughts? Im sorry this might be a bit long but excited about finding an outlet for my passion--travel. Mahalo
