Having booked the TLL mini-do last time (but unable to take the flights in the end) I am super jealous of this one which I am also unable to make...so jealous that I had to book it anyway, albeit for later in the year!
Thanks to everyone on this board for some great information, but also, a little more specifically, to rossmcd for the worked example in
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29240873-post36.html I was able to get the end of November on most of the planes I wanted and for only a few pounds more!
I realise the late arrival into PHX is a bit harsh, but since I will be 3 months late for the party I don't suppose it matters much!
My issue now is which positioning flights to take. Having spent the last 9 years flying, weekly, the increasingly terrible LHR->NCE, I am reluctant to do a B2B on the same days (and subsequently taking 3 CE flights in one day!). But then again I don't really want to waste too much time sitting in hotels.
What is everyone else doing? Is there a way to create a poll-thingy-ma-jig on FT?
ps: if anyone would like to add my flights to the wiki, I would be very grateful:
