$700 is really strong. I wouldn't wait too much longer but I also don't use Kayak to determine when I should buy tickets. Maybe others can chime in if it's reliable, but I just don't think past performance is a good qualifier for future pricing.

I just did a quick look, if you can still grab the 858 I think that's a very solid price. I tried the game of getting a flight to JFK/EWR/BOS and booking that city to dub, and it all washes out and/or adds a lot of travel time.

Kobayashi posted:What's the security like for TSA Precheck? Do you still have to do those full body scanners, or is it traditional walkthrough X-ray? I'm thinking about applying to the Global Entry program, but I'm not sure if it's worth it if there's still a full body scan, as I always opt for the manual screening. This is completely out of the scope of this thread and for any further questions the posters in the frequent biz travel thread can help. But it is this with the standard walk through security.

You'll be fine. In other news AA massively devalued the mileage program overnight without warning. They also completely eliminated the oneworld explorer award. Pretty happy I transferred my spending to a much more flexible card. Where's that dude who came in for one post about his credit card spend buying all of the tickets he needed. Poor guy might actually have to shell out for tickets now.

Europe in summer is 'spensive. If you're staying that long, why limit yourself to mid/southern Spanish airports? Why not train in if you can find a deal?

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Any suggestions on cities/countries where should I be looking? Madrid was the city I thought might offer a better price while still being a reasonable train ride away, and even that adds 3 or so hours and $150 to the trip. Simply put: No. I only suggest it as maybe a way to explore another area on the same trip as a way to justify how expensive the ticket is. If there was a "cheapest place into Europe" everyone would do that because Europe in the summer is very expensive. You gotta put in the leg work to uncover a deal (if any exists) and jump on it, because others are doing it well and they won't last long.

Kind Milkman posted:Paid through Paypal because my bank is awful about high dollar amount transactions. I have to cancel the trip because of some extenuating circumstances. Do I stand any chance at getting my money back? Given how vague you were here I don't think you have a chance in hell with Spirit but call them. No one knows the details except you. But everyone has an excuse. More importantly, you should head over to BFC and read up. I've never heard of a bank not being ok with purchasing a domestic economy fare ticket. It's your money. You shouldn't have to use PayPal as it removes your protections as a consumer and is generally a terrible idea. The fine posters there can help you find a new bank or get a credit card you can use and avoid this situation in the future. Just sayin.

I used a lounge last time through dxb. It was in the morning and it was a contract lounge. Food and drink spread were fine and it was relatively quiet. Not sure if it would be worth my own money to pay for it but I've got good headphones and at that time there was room to sit. I would also eat before the airport, that food will be miles ahead of pay lounge options.

In my experience unless it's an opposite direction snowbird route, you're going to get absolutely dicked on a one way car rental. They have to account on them getting the car back to the origin somehow, via truck or driver. Renting in OAK and returning to SJC is regularly double the rate even with codes. Maybe they'll help but mine never do, and that's a drive that isn't nearly as far as yours.

Weird, I can get them to the point where they want to take my cash on Qantas.com.au for those flights no problem. I don't see what's hard to figure out aside from your schedule and when you want to travel. You're going to pay through the nose for this because it's really 2 one ways -- returning via Tokyo/Osaka isnt the most direct path to your origin, there's no routed flights that go via NRT and you're stopping over for a week. Not a ton of magic there, there's just no free lunch for trying to choose your way to a city and choosing to layover for a week rather than connect in a traditional round trip manner. Also, PE with points is traditionally a terrible value -- business is usually not much more for far greater service.

Everyone complains about airlines. It will likely be fine and if you have problems chalk it up to bad luck not a bad decision. I've been burned more than I would like to admit changing flights or routes trying to avoid what I would think are potential problems.

Sleep in the airport and make a funny video while the airport is quiet? If you've called united and they can't get you out of the overnight connection and you've got no status then you're likely out of luck. If you haven't called you should call.

Waltzing Along posted:United via Kayak. I only say this as it seems like you don't travel too much. Take all contact numbers for kayak with you on your trip. Not that there will be problems but if you have any you'll likely have to make any changes with kayak and not united. Again not to scare you as direct flights are likely to have less problems but good to have a way to contact the people who booked the ticket.

No. One business seat will generate more money than those tickets. Yet less first class tickets. Qantas group rates start at 10 people. Same with delta and most other airlines.

Why are you booking so late during the holidays? With such little flexibility it sounds like you are looking for a miracle. For anyone wondering where to go during the holidays I found airfare to cabo is currently pretty cheap. Hopefully the resort I booked didn't suffer too much damage!

You've given a very narrow window of possible flights to choose from. And how do you even see a boat working into this timeline? There are no deals for booking 2 people. I would start looking and if you feel it is cheap grab it. Nothing you can do now but usually for vacation I try to pick a general time and let specific dates within that time to be determined by any airfare deals. Hotel deals are easier and seem to last longer. sellouts fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Jan 1, 2015 |

Alright, let's go through the checklist: Time to book: short (less than 45 days) Time of year: holiday (very popular) Window of travel: very specific Destination: specific, with expensive taxes (GB, UB) Yeah... I don't think you can expect much of a deal. That being said Aeroflot will get you there with a stop in SVO Feb 8-20 for 5000 Yuan. China Eastern will get you there direct Feb 8-20 for 6125 Yuan. Aeroflot will go as low as 4300 return for that flight at a different date, so apparently you're not getting a terrible deal sellouts fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jan 3, 2015 |
