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. Prices are for 2 adults (I claim that title!) 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. 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!!)..
Thanks. Definitely cheaper coming TO Phoenix than away as I suspected. I wish I could buy EU-PHX-EU tickets (and use points to get out your way), but since my travel is leisure it isn't consistent enough to do that. Oh well, I still appreciate knowing.
For 13 nights that's a
stellar rate on an SUV -- better than my Avis negotiated rates (corporate)!
