Splitting kings very rarely maximizes profit / minimizes loss.

But it did maximize entertainment value.

MH.com lists a flight and the site is not letting me book. Is it sold out or am I not doing time change math correctly and looking on the wrong day?

Can you get it a few days earlier and join us in kch?

Just got back from my 9 year old daughter's 5K run! I was so proud of her. Watching her cross the finish line of her first race is a moment I will not soon forget.:-:^

How fun! Congrats to your daughter!^

No. There is availability other than January, so if I do it at all I still don't know when I am doing it. If I could get MH to price MNL-KUL for me, that would be very helpful...that flight is bookable as an MS codeshare and therefore creditable to CO. I refuse to pay $1050-ish for 21K EQM and then pay half that amount for MNL-SIN-BWN on SQ in a non-earning bucket.

My strategy of part-time underemployment seems to be working - a third pizza place just called me and made an offer over the top of the first two.

Be careful where you say that - in some places on FT, the answer to that question is a very hostile yes.

The CO website is ambiguous ("all Egyptair-operated flights systemwide"), but usually for *A the rule is that the metal matters, and thus *A codeshares on non-*A airlines aren't creditable (except to the codesharing airline's program).

SQ can get me there and not earn, but to add insult to injury, does not have a way to get me back to MNL to pick up the ticket home. At the prices they want and for the mileage I would yield on the trip, I could also cash in 25K for an intra-South Asia reward. I can get the 25K back by opening a checking account. This is assuming that a mix of SQ and TG could get me back to MNL.

A new Chase branch just opened around the corner from us. I think it's a sign that I need to head over there to open a checking account with CO debit card. :-:

Unfortunately, I missed the first purchase deadline for the Mileathon bonus, but 25,000 miles for $25 is still an excellent deal.

What are my chances of getting into the Swiss or SAS lounge at ORD with just a presidents club card (flying AA so no *A boarding pass)? Or should I just play it safe and do UA RCC?

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 10:17 am.
