There was a bit of anxiety on my end flying out on a one-way ticket, but it all worked out great, and was a fantastic use of points.
yeah. thanks. the problem is in most companies u have to inform your boss / co-worker u gonna be away for 2 weeks in advance
i have been advised to book another award tix while waiting for this VA to show up. so if it really show up, then i cancel the other one and take VA. still annoying cos i would need to pay for the cancellation fee no matter whcih award tix it is esp so close to departure
