Login to your Travelocity account under "My Stuff" to view your itin.

The Fedex tracking # is there, along with shipping time.

The Sheraton Villas go for $800 a pop (two bedroom) - I figure I paid literally nothing to get there (and $50 tax for the nothing) that I could use my BA miles for a one way ticket BACK to the States if I don't want to stay there the entire time.

A one way coach ticket is $800 and biz class is $1700 -

I was also thinking at check in at LAX I could hand my passport to the check-in agent with $500 cash for that upgrade

Booking class? Someone mentioned issued in V, but is anyone sure?
The travelocity receipt shows a $0 fare, all in taxes.
V earns 100% AA miles through July 15, N stopped earning miles January 1.

Not many pictures of the coach meals on Air Pacific available at http://www.airlinemeals.net but based on the few that are there, I think I will order a special meal.

When you log in, do you see a date/time of ticket being sent and a Fedex tracking number?

If five days+ is too long for Fiji - maybe pick up an award from NAN to Australia or NZ? With UA miles, there's a Star award for 20K miles in Economy and 30K in business.

AA codeshare

just looking again and my flight which is Air Pacific 811 is also shown on yahoo travel under AA as American Airlines
Flight 7605 operated by AIR PACIFIC

now its pricing as $1342 on AP and the same flight is $2,262 using AA but on the AP codeshare.. of course my flight cost $51.75 as AP811..

anyway to somehow finagle this into an AA codeshare? I'm assuming if I could somehow magically do this, I'd get the AA miles as EQM's...

28K in spg pts

28,000 SPG points will get you five nights.. or it did me anyway.. I guess it would depend what your travel dates are as I ran into some award availability earlier on the villas property

The "authorization" should be there (you can call and ask-- unless you're saying that is what you did) but not the charge itself-- that can still take a couple of days.

I would think that very, very unlikely.

Check the AA www site -- Air Pacific earns on AA, but maybe not in this class of service.

Hi,

We will be on the same plane and we have met, remember? I will share what I learned today. Would you like to learn to scuba dive? http://www.clubfiji-resort.com/diving.htm The package is a really good price. The accomodation package without diving also looked pretty good, since it included all food. Priced pretty reasonably.

This place also looked pretty good and reasonably priced and they have diving and surfing. http://www.trav.com/wri/property.php?HostelNumber=3246

Neither of these hotels is the Sheraton, but they do have good reviews.

For things to do:

Adventure Ultimate Fiji looked like fun. http://www.victory.com.fj/ And check under budget on this website. There were some fun things to do. Fiji dollars make it a pretty good deal. Besides tours, there is windsurfing for free in most places, para sailing, and a whole variety of water things. I guess there is a golf course, but I don't golf. Lying on the beach where it is NOT 110 will be a blessing.

Send me a PM so we can coordinate this AZ trip. We think we will drive to LA, but may fly.

Gina
