Hi everybody

I red this forum and thread for the last 2 month and I really appreciate another hint here or in PM. I really want to surprise my wife for her birthday.
I found the flights but couldn't find the 3X.
Did you find it on ITA or OTA?

thanks

If you've been reading the thread for two months and think you're going to get anywhere by asking for PMs with 3 posts to your name you might want to rethink your approach.

Congrats if she is worth 125 bucks ;-).

Following the action here since 2 months, better forget about that deal.

You cant expect to be competitive in a marathon after 2 months of training, too.

woohoo! I did my first FD! knocks off about 50%+ of the fuel surcharge for some Asian airlines! It took some luck but now it feels good!

Looks like JFK-SIN has a good fare going right now.

Your price is not bad for April/May, it seems the appetizer is less Delicious than before :(

Wow - 2 months. Her biggest surprise will be when you have to hurry to a cheap Motel 6 near your expected departure airport due to your flight taking off without you and her.

Has anyone noticed how I am trying my best to outdo RangeXT.

Sorry, but his remark outperforms yours :eek:

To make a remark towards my O-fare question on BA, at least Q is here again :)

He could prove to be a man of world and generosity and surprise her with two longhaul journeys. Could backfire, however, when she wonders why they fly from Cxa to Cxb via Cy: Disoriented guys are not exactly husband material. :)

Esteemed FDers, I am seeking your assistance.

I am trying to book a trip for mom, dad, brother for little brother's graduation and family's first time abroad. Very flexible in terms, seeking roughly 2 week itinerary in July originating IAH (or AUS, DAL if savings) and O/J to any two points in or around Germany that are a good distance apart, example DUS/VIE or MUC/MXP, etc, but very flexible. If anyone can help me cut some fat for my family's budget I would truly appreciate it, not opposed to fair compensation for anyone's time - I respect how much work some of you have put into learning this craft. Please PM if you can help, thanks kindly for the consideration.

Try Air Berlin if you can get to any of their start points. Don't trick it with family.

If you are well travelled and know your way round the points schemes, then could you use your own miles to book tickets for your family?

You sound sophisticated enough to be able to use your own miles to help your parents who need it and then to know how to earn more miles for your own trip for next year.

Any C1e looking to make it out to the newest Ultra addition can do it for 451.85 Euro with dessert.

I think you can do it without a dessert actually.
