Thursday 3rd Sept
DUB - LCY BA 4461
LCY - JFK BA1
Friday 4th
EWR - PHX AA 1281
PHX - HNL US 694

Sat 5th Sept
HNL - PHX US 893
Sun 6th Sept
PHX - JFK US 693
JFK - LCY BA4

I have nabbed my "usual preference" seats for the time being (someone has taken 1A already so have taken 1K).

bring it on!

need to think about positioning flights at some stage and a hotel in DUB the night before - anyone looked at hotels yet?
Added it for you to the wiki
I think I am on a US flight JFK-PHX though I made a wrong choice I suspect.

The reason why I went for the EWR PHX one is because it's at 10.25am (rather than a 6.30am flight with US) and I like mixing it up (/ prefer AA) and prefer a later start given I am in no rush to get to HNL (I get there at 6pm ish, you guys at 2pm ish).

so there's no right or wrong - just preference.

so I don't think we can beat the ICN number of total FTs on a flight but 6/7 out of max of 32 (when in reality it could be lower actual number) isn't a bad %.

anyone else contemplating it and going to join?

will cross link into TP run forum as well.

What was the ICN number and when did that happen? What did I miss again?

PS: I think 6:30am is a very early start for me after what is going to be an 'interesting' BA1.

I never thought to look at EWR-PHX. Looks like that is a better option than the 6.30am start! ^

I think Chris1979 would be the only person who is Gold to TCP for teledudex2, but I have no idea how the process is and whether you need all the parties on the phone at the same time to confirm, etc...

You mean in August? I think we overlap - we'll be in HNL from around 4-8 August.

After a fair bit of playing around with flights and connections I have booked for next September:-

DUB-LCY-JFK-MIA-SJU-ORD-LHR-DUB

Business all the way except JFK to MIA in first = 670 tier points

Could not use the JFK -LCY on the way home as it's the weekend.

Looking forward to a holiday in the Caribbean and retaining silver.

it was a few years ago (am sure it can be found via search or so). I also missed it. basically, their launch offer was something silly like Ł787 in CW to ICN and there were a few FT trips going for a few weekends. I think one "party plane" had a very high number of FTers.

I am also doing the EWR 10.30am start for my "holiday" to SFO in July (the holiday that might also involve a few runs from there). I prefer civilised start and have done that sort of time / airport switch in the past to get it. Matrix showed it (in timebars with different colour for AA).

Happy to do that. Not sure that is needed though?

does that mean teledude is bronze or blue?

EDIT: just seen that teledude is bronze. let's try to figure something out re getting seats for all of us.
