FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I am thinking about doing DCA-ORD-IST-LHR-FRA-EZE-FRA-IAD (or FRA-EZE-IAD) as a BD J reward. I wonder how much the taxes would be and if I can backtrack IST-LHR-FRA.

I doubt you could backtrack in that manner, but it's the BD ICC, so who really knows. :-:

That is correct (except for a pair of All-Y A340s that TK uses for Hajj Flights).

If that is the case, I would probably have to do a more straigtforward IAD-LHR-FRA-EZE-FRA-IAD routing, assuming a double connect in Europe would be permitted.

I have just seen my first virii infection ever on my own laptop. Fixed it right off but it was a nasty little bugger. It must have come from portable media I used the other day :(

I should have known better than to use that thing.

Fiancee calls. Tell her about donut burger. Reaction can best be described as :eek: and :rolleyes: in equal parts. She mentions Red Robin. After some tooling around on the RedRobin.com burger builder, I find it amazing that this place is not closed for crimes against humanity. I'm a fat guy who is not the biggest fan of proper nutrition, but this is over even my considerably high threshold for gluttony. Their onion ring appetizer is 1800 calories.

I suspect you want IST-LHR for the TK F Suites on the 77W, but you might consider DCA-ORD-IST-DKR-GRU.

I'd really like to try LAX-JFK-IST-DKR-GRU-ZRH-LAX on a cash + mi. redemption. If I could snag it as a Zone 3--->4 cash+mi. at 30K mi. + (whatever) Pounds, that would be :D

The Hajj is a annual thing. Do they reconfigure those planes just for that? What other role in life could an all-Y jet of that size really have?

No clue. I'm just going by what I read in the TK Forum.

I know all about those little buggers. Thanks to sbm12, and his surgical prowess, my laptop is now the picture of health :D:D

I thought that was less frequent as the 77W went to Asia more these days. :confused:

Unless they use the a340s for charter work, I would imagine they reconfigure them for the hajj.
