Do you mind me asking what the Ex-EU to Phoenix cost? I can tell you that Oneworld J flights out of PHX to Europe are very expensive (published CW fare is ~$5500 and sometimes more) so I position out of LAX most of the time.
hahaha ... and thank you! It was even more gripping being there, jetlagged and sleep-deprived
No problem with costs, and indeed I usually detail that in the introduction. Do bear in mind this was booked last September, going the opposite direction, ex-EU. Not sure how that scenario (and time) fits with your needs, of course. Prices are for 2 adults (I claim that title, despite rumors!) and of course round-trip in J/Domestic F.
DUB-PHL-PHX = GBP 2973
JER-UK-DUB = GBP 349 + 46k Avios
Homewood Suites = USD 1139 for 13 nights
Avis Intermediate SUV = USD 460.
We were seriously surprised at how cheap the hotel and car rental were compared with the previous visit ... almost half the cost!
The next trip was booked this May, for another 2 weeks next February (chilly weather!). Simple route this time ... JER-UK-PHX direct, as it was cheap and has nothing to do with the irritations of this one!! GBP 3282, including the SUV for 2 weeks, all done on ba.com which happened to be working that day
dylanks here is a regular PHX-UK flyer. A PM to him might offer some help (he’s a nice guy - we met at the JER FT Do!!)..
