DFW AUS IAH - MR Group

Sorry of this is a repeat post

I was searching for a group on FT for last 2 days to find any active Ex-DFW MR groups and didn't find any active once.

Can we all DFW MR folks group together and plan MR. I found couple of folks from different post and will invite them to the group (if i can figure out how to create one on FT ).

So we'll see almost no deals then. DFW is terrible for MR.

There have actually been a ton already this year. The DFW to HKG have been very good lately.

I do however start mine in AUS a lot of times.

True - DFW is terrible for MR. But i am inviting local DFW residents who are into MR to join a group and share MR ideas.

Au Contraire, Mon Frère,

great for UA and DL MRs.

I've done a bunch over the years, though this year I have actually flown AA more.

And AA keeps throwing out cheap flights to SAN, SFO and other places with same day turns.

TFD, March 10:

American – $776: Dallas – Singapore. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

Yes, remember lots of AA hub attacks on IAH when I flew from there. They still happen.

I live in Austin too. Would not mind being part of the MR Group.
Doing a MR from AUS-HKG-HKG (550$), April 3, turnaround next day, staying at the Priority Pass Lounge, booked a room with shower for 6 hours at the arrival . get some sleep and then head on to departures and relax in the departures lounge to catch the return back.

Totally worth it. Have Priority Pass with Citi card. Land at 7.30 pm. Chill in the lounge for 4 hours in arrival. Booked the suite in the same lounge from 2 am to 8 am. Have a shower , pass out , be fresh. Total cost for suite $ 119. A steal

Head up to arrivals go to departure lounge and chill again and pass out on flight back 😬

I tried to create a social group and I don't see a link in the page for me to do so. May be due to my limited history. Can anyone help in creating a group ?
