I thought that, but might they cancel one of my reservations because they overlap?
Should I mention it in SYD do you think or just treat as two entirely separate flights?
The funny thing is, I thought by letting them know, it would be helpful in not holding up the flight...but not if they are charging me extra for giving them more business.
I'm travelling 20K miles with them in 10 days, you would be enough for them to be happy with my business
I could have easily picked another airline and then no problem (there were cheaper options).
Thank you for the guidance and help by the way, you have no idea how much I appreciate FT help!!!
(thanks for the merge too, mods!!)
