FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Yes I am. I am looking to go 8/21-8/23. It seems all the prices are :rolleyes: for that weekend. I think we might end up going to the W in South Beach just because I already have the flights on hold. I have been given the ok to book anywhere in North America, South America or the Caribbean with a max 5 hour flight :rolleyes:

A maximum five-hour flight? Huge :rolleyes:.

Do you have negotiable wiggle room built in? PTY blocks out at 5:19-ish.

I tried to get that restriction lifted. There is also a no connection stipulation :rolleyes:

Hey, she said flight time. Block time includes taxi time, so there's wiggle room. :D@:-):-:

Actually there's no reason to lie.

The specification was flight time, not block time. And to/from EWR you can easily get back the 19 mins.

[edited to add:]
looks like AMF in NJ beat me too it, great minds think alike! :D

Does the imposer of this restriction understand the SPG redemption opportunities you would be squandering by limiting the flight time to five hours?

Can you lie about 20 hours? If so, I would recommend the St Regis Singapore.

That's not unreasonable on a two-night trip. I'd want to maximize my time at the destination as well.

It all started going downhill once the s/o realized EWR is a hub :eek:

Aloha box. Greetings from the DCA penalty box. I'm officially going nowhere at full speed, wishing I was in the SkyPub having another beer with CO1E.

Everyone around me is gorging on McD's and I'm rather hungry. I wonder if DL has jerky...
