Anyone's thoughts would be pure speculation. Probably not a debate for this thread as the main do approaches.

American (AA) ILN8C8S4 BUH to PHX states "PERMITTED 01JUL THROUGH 31AUG OR 22NOV THROUGH 29NOV OR 24DEC THROUGH 31DEC OR 24MAR THROUGH 08APR FOR EACH TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR."

The thing that threw me initially was "TRAVEL FROM INBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN 6 DAYS AFTER DEPARTURE OF THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR"

Then I read the next bit "OR - TRAVEL FROM INBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN THE FIRST SUN AFTER DEPARTURE OF THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR."

Arrive on a Saturday, leave on a Monday :-)

For me it's a balance betweeen my wife complaining about me being away from home for too long, and complaining about me spending no time at all in the place that I'm flying to. For this trip two full days seemed to be the optimum point..... she would say it's madness to fly there for two days, lunancy to fly for 12 hours :-)

Marriage is, just like (or sometimes more?) full of compromises. I recall another BAFTer arriving HNL midday, going to Waikiki for a drink and a swim, returning on the early evening flight to mainland US . But. each to his own...

A Do Update

Hi all,

This time next month (if you're going by date) we'll be late-night/early-morning swimming and enjoying many a beer around the HGI pool (if we've not been asked to leave by now).

The wonderful @megaloman has agreed once again to produce some excellent name badges for the do. Don't panic, they'll stick on nicely to your mankini/MAGA hats/budgie smugglers.

To get the process rolling please complete the following Google form: https://goo.gl/forms/qeEel0UJZvsPTx1J2

There is also an active WhatsApp group entitled 'Flyertalk PHX Mob'. All users are vetted so no non-FT/PHX people can join (and with 2 Admin, if anyone does, they're pretty immediately ejected)! Join in here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/AWfKPxRBQYE3lBIyxoDTfr

Additionally if you've not yet declared your positioning flights/hotels etc feel free to list them here and they'll be added in if you wish. That'll particularly help with guesting in the lounges for those of us who are not quiet elite just yet

Thanks!
TP Run

Having had similar options on recent Transcons myself (albeit normally in the reverse direction), the omelette is the one to go for. Best out of a bad choice, I'm afraid. Think yourself lucky you didn't get offered the bagel.....
