Y'all should be careful about booking anything on MA right now. They can flip any time now...

Actually it's all AA metal, so not sure what happens if MA is in trouble.

No idea how your ticket would be affected if they went under though, see the Spanair situation right now. They say flights on other metal should be fine but nobody knows what will happen when they actually try to check in.

I used to go back and forth to CMB and would buy my tickets through the airline's office in CMB. If you want to find a travel agent, send an e-mail to the concierge of the Sheraton there and they would be able to send you a trustworthy travel agent.
Also, I don't know if they still have it, but SQ from SGN was also at a good price.
Yours,
George

Do you mean the Hilton? There's no Sheraton in Sri Lanka.

For those considering the AA/MA deal, be aware that AA seems to have cancelled a number of JFK-BUD flights as of next April. Maybe earlier and/or later. They might even be pulling out of that market entirely. Sorry, no time to research it now myself, but just giving you a heads up.

I've done 2 AC J longhaul flights, and I was happy with both.

Why?
Becouse I am an Argentinian guy with Italian passport who lives in Spain, coming from Brazil via the US, staying in Canada for 15hours and heading to Japan the next morning. Is that so weird?

I've arrived one night to YVR from SFO on UA and had the worst immigration experience of my life. I spent 3 hours at the airport, interrogated by the police and they also turned on my computer and checked my data.

I've experienced both very long lines, and more questioning that was really necessary for my trip/profile on entering Canada by air. By road the lines can be long.

GF: IST-MNL r/t all-in 1230 EUR
Maybe not a MR, but definitely a great fare from Europe to Manila, free stopover in Bahrain.
It books into D, many dates available from Feb to May. On some dates the price is as low as 1070 EUR, but most dates come up with 1230 EUR.
Sample dates: 22-Apr - 03-May.
