Have no fear..I am lining up some redemption trips too. ..and am on the look-out, including doing some numbers on possible transfer to some hotel programs for some destinations.

However due to a number of factors that affect availability and when the family and /or I can travel they will kick off say in July 2010 and then again in Xmas 2010....though I am keeping an eye out in case some extra Xmas 09 availability bobs up.

But as mentioned by Futaris above this trip was very cheap....made cheaper again for me as paying for it on a current Earth Amex Promo where I earn 4 points per $ and we will do it sans-kids. So it made more sense to buy rather than redeem in economy as I could not see avaialibity in J...though after this one hopefully most of my longer trips will be Business Class for a while.
