cm:

well, i still haven't seen a perfect match in these air travel itineraries, but i will be in new orleans on april 3. let's meet up somewhere in the french quarter (and try to talk beckles into staying in town that weekend, instead of his ridiculous excuse of having easter plans http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif). see you then.

That's great MileCrazy! I've sent you an e-mail with my plans... We could plan it as a mini "FlyerTalk: convention around the French Quarter! Thanks for suggesting it! CATMAN

Catman ~ ORE???

Do you mean ORD?

Catman: Another writer thing: Don't you mine ORE at ORD?

I meant ORD guys, sorry.

I must learn when I am fading at the computer it's time to get off line and go earn some frequent sleeping miles (double miles for snoring this month!) CATMAN

Another business trip... But to LAS VEGAS!!

29-Apr UA 7691 JFK-IAD 14:30-15:50p
UA 1777 IAD-LAS 17:15-19:18p

Three nites at MGM Grand. Will earn HILTon points (charging on OPTIMA.)

02-May UA 1796 LAS-IAD 08:30-15:43p
UA 7364 IAD-JFK 18:30-19:45p

I have to go to JFK... but I'll drink beforehand! CATMAN

Business in Salt Lake, Playtime in Vegas
Catman...I too will be @ MGM (5 nights), thanks for the info on Optima Card!

18APR CLE-EWR CO274
18APR EWR-SLC CO1847

20APR SLC-IAH CO1686
20APR IAH-LAS CO1949

25APR LAS-CLE CO1874

The trick is if you ahve a credit card that earns you HOTEL points Like the HIlton Optima or one of the Sheraton/Westin cards or the Marriott Visa... use those when you stay at hotels that you can't get miles for (or even if you get very little miles) and you'll still earn a few points in your favorite hotel point.

This is not an original idea, but it's on the CAT'S HAPPY & SAFE TRAVELING SUGGESTIONS!!
CATMAn

My company's amended my Vegas trip slightly so I can work 1.5 days then have rest of time free!

And at least I only have to go to JFK on the way back!

28-Apr UA 537 EWR-ORD 20:15-21:39
UA 663 ORD-LAS! 22:30-00:18 (4/29)

The rest of the itinerary is the same:

Three nites at MGM Grand. Will earn HILTon points (charging on OPTIMA.) Plus 500 AA miles and addition miles for using my Player's Club card.

02-May UA 1796 LAS-IAD 08:30-15:43p
UA 7364 IAD-JFK 18:30-19:45p

I have to go to JFK... but I'll drink beforehand!

*OMNI: IF ANYONE IS IN THE VEGAS AREA ON 4-30 or 5-01, MAYBE WE CAN GET TOGETHER FOR DINNER. I SHOULD BE DONE WITH WORK BY LATE AFTERNOON 4-30. YOU CAN KEEP ME AWAY FROM THE BLACKJACK TABLES!

09 APR UA881 IAD-ORD(change of equipment 777 to 747 but same flight # and no split ff credit)-NRT 10:00 - 15:00(next day)
10 APR UA875 NRT-BKK 18:15 - 22:35

One night at the Marriott Royal Garden. Speak, get classic thai massage (to undwind), then

11 APR THAI429 BKK-PEN 19:30-22:15
One day and 2 nights at beach
13 APR THAI430 PEN-BKK 8:40-9:20
(These flights are "1st class" rate on an airplane with only business and coach sections, but the rate gives 150% UAMP points as opposed to 125% for business class, and 100% of miles toward elite vs. 50% in coach. The tix are also fully refundable, so if I can get a better deal at BKK, I'll take it and the refund)

One more classic thai massage, overnight at the Hilton, then:
14 APR UA876 BKK-NRT 07:15 - 14:55
14 APR UA882 NRT-ORD (same deal as outbound)-IAD

Matt: there are 2 Marriotts: the JW (direct new motorway access to/from airport) and the resort-like Royal Garden.

There, fixed it.

OMNI: mattwald, your company shouldn't make you do double connexions! don't they have a policy against that?

hhui: I WISH. I could take an ORD-SAN but it would mean a 4 hour layover at ORD. I don't mind the extra segment, but I DO mind losing my double mile bonus...

Hey MattWald:

BKK - The Marriott Royal Garden is very far and inconvenient from town. Stay there ONLY if you have business nearby. If you have to split your time between that and the Hilton, give yourself at least 45 minutes travelling time (anytime of the day or 60 minutes travelling time in rush hour traffic - and it's a distance of less than 4 miles)

Okay here are my April flights:
+ denotes an award ticket
The itinerary below has been revised - all flights changed after 7th April due to a death in the family.

Looks like Stimpy has some competition for whose in the air the most! Definitely would not want to be flying economy with your schedules.

I was the one who gave Matt the tip with the Riverside Royal Garden Marriott.

I find it VERY convenient to take the free half hour Marriott shuttle boat that brings you in 10 minutes to the Oriental pier and further on.

And for the price (advanced paid rate $80 including buffet breakfast) it is a bargain - and it is a REAL FULL SERVICE RESORT.

Sorry Rudi!

73G = Next Generation 737

Which is to say 737-600/700/800/900

[This message has been edited by AAPlatinum (edited 03-24-99).]

Thanks, AAPlatinum... if it's Delta, it's gotta be the new 737-800. Schweeeet! Plenty of different aircraft to fly in this upcoming trip: M90, M80 (twice), 757, 763 (twice), 73G, 72S! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Just back from the exciting cities of Des Moines & Sioux Falls, and where does my company want me next????

14 APRIL CLE-IND CO 3063
15 APRIL IND-CLE CO 3195
The dates are firm, but I still may change flights....hate turbo-props, but sometimes that's the only option...yuk! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

If any FlyerTalkers are going to be in Vegas the evening of April 6...

I have one extra PRIMO seat for the Neil Sedaka concert.

Email me if you're going to be there and you'd like to be my guest!
