True. Plus I'd have to buy two of them and positioning flights. Too expensive when the other option is LH/SQ F/C reward tix.

Not sure that late December in Croatia is my cup of tea. We're looking at options in places that are less Christian so that things aren't competely shut down like they were in MXP when we did the LCA run.

All true,...but my use of 'hybrid' was as in 'half-breed' as nyceze has the Argentine blood from the maternal side of the family!

Good morning, Box.

Have a sick child home from school yesterday and today so not been in the box much.

Will be quoting in next posts. Must get post # about 1000 today. Therefore, no multi-quoting for me!

Hope your baby is better now!^
Bet you've hit 1000 by now! Congrats!

Ahem!:D I think you carried your 'weight' pretty well there!;):rolleyes:

My sentiments, too!:(

Brit, will put in order today -- promise!

Me, too!^

Uh -- yeah!:D

ALCO Travel does not have bilaterals in place with Japan. :-:

There's no telling where you might end up if using :rolleyes:v Volare, but there's a good chance it will involve lots of segments and back-tracking in Asia.

Thank you for the 'informative' revelations!:D;)

After meeting some of those outside the B:rolleyes:X -- I may want to re-think the idea of advertising FT 'membership'!:rolleyes::D

You are TOO funny, Rolov.

I always use BusinessElite check-in regardless of whether I'm supposed to or not. I just smile and say, "oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, I thought I was able to check in here" by which time it's usually too late to do anything and they check me in anyway!! :D

me too. :D

ZRH was fun but I wish I went to MAD or BCN instead.

Come on - if I'm going to be offline for two days, you all can't post a page an hour.

I would cry if in Y for that long.

Nope, I'm back. There was a total of 4 FT'ers on the flight back today and one of them "accidental" sat next to me when he was asked if he would like an emergency exit row - middle seat:eek:.

Middle seat exit row isn't so comparatively horrible ... I had exit aisle both ways (19C eastbound, 36D westbound).

If any of you are going to ZRH on the DL mistake fare beware that you may spend more money on food while you are there than you paid for the ticket :eek: Soda's were $5 just about everywhere.

I abused Hyatt - free fruit in room, diamond amenity, 26 CHF dinner which came with 1,000 bonus points (which was excellent), and a free extensive breakfast (which would have been 47 CHF). Overall I spent less than 40 CHF on food and still have 40 CHF I need to dispose of via eBay.
