Sure we do.

On ITA go to month-long search and put in JFK::LAX and LHR::LAX for the from/to pair. Pick 1-2 nights and start no later than late Feb (fare dies in early March). It'll come back with pretty much every weekend showing available. If you want a longer stay feel free. Click through to the details and you should see either a 6:30am, 8:30am or 11ish departure from JFK on the outbound connecting to a 1700ish LAX-LHR. Return is 10:30am and can make the 16:22 LAX-JFK if you want. You can probably overnight in LAX, too, as a connection as long as you take a morning flight home the following day.

Take your dates/flights on over to Orbitz (I know it is working; not sure about others) and switch to multi-city. Put in all 4 segments individually - JFK-LAX, LAX-LHR, LHR-LAX and LAX-JFK on the appropriate dates/times. Run the search, pick the flights and find some Ambien.

She's a strong drinker. Hard to keep up with. On any given night I'm fine (at least I think so) but she's got impressive stamina to keep at it night after night.

Mock me now, but show up and try to play. You'll learn in a hurry. :p

Have you figured out how to ticket this? I couldn't find it on .bomb.

That's because y'all are charitable and nice. I know that the "you'll be better off learning how to figure it out yourself" school has its merits, but it's still frustrating when you get that from people...

That was probably the most helpful, concise paragraph I have ever read in my history of trying to learn about this topic. THANKS! :-:

Now off to try and make it happen...

I wonder how she would fair against me. Sounds like a good time. http://rolleye.com/cheers.gif

Well, we haven't gotten into the fuel dump lessons yet. Those are much more complicated and involve many more strange code-words (harlem shuffle??) and it is somewhat harder to make work. But when it does work the benefit can be an additional $100-200 in savings. That can be next week's class. :)

Morning, Box. It's too early for me to have a substantive donation to the discussion.

There's actually a fair number of dates out there. My issue is that thought of having to endure the LAX-LHR legs in Y. Now, when UA makes those SWUs usable on any fare...

LON fare - looking at the chart the itinerary earns just 125% on BD, correct?
