Not at present but in true HKG fashion I will use substandard construction materials to illegally subdivide my living room into 6 handy compartments almost large enough to lay down in, can I interest you in one of those?
Also, though I was serious about lots of flyovers of my building, the planes are not low. I'm not close to the airport but I am on a flight path for departures from one of the runways.

That sounds like how things are done in the Bronx. Some sheet rock, a few 2x4's and presto, a one bedroom apartment turned into 5.

It's back....
In fact the LAX-FRA round trip I bought earlier in the week dropped in price to $1791 (from $2042)
Called and they gave me a credit voucher for the diff.
When I did a search, BE comes up about $45 more than coach!

for TPAC flights in J, its a phenomonal deal. Do a J search using flexible weekend travel option, SEA - HKG. Try the month of July. I see $3800 A/I, N/S. I booked this last month for a plane spotting excusrion at HKG. Now, I just have to figure out what the best plane spotting locations are at HKG.

Why did they give you a credit voucher?

Yes, it's back. SEA-FRA for $2042 for as little as four days. 10+ days is $1750. The double miles promo makes this even sweeter. If I can get a stopover in AMS to work out, I'm going to pounce. Probably a bad idea, but how can you resist?

Sub-$2k USA-EUR fares are apparently back on SkyTeam - late July and through August at least.
Just pulled the trigger on a trip to Switzerland for just under $1800 AI.
However, although all my confirmation pages show a total of ~$3500 for 2 pax, my Amex authorization shows two holds for ~$3500 each and the DL.com receipt is showing $5300 total? It looks like the trip ended up booking into three different ticket numbers. Anyone else experienced anything like this?
If the higher charges end up posting, I'll be cancelling the trip...

Because I am such a nice guy?
Actually I really didn't expect anything as the free cancel period ended midnight last night (Apr 2). But without any prompting she said that she couldn't redo the ticket to get a refund but would I take a voucher for the diff ($250)?

I just booked a 6-day trip SEA-TXL for $2068. I'm happy with that. With the SEA bonuses, one can easily jump up a Medallion tier with one of these fares ex-SEA.
