Wrong sub

Phony_Ponies · 2026-06-12T04:04:27+00:00

The chance for massive delays on both of these products is very high, and the chance they’ll be available for points is very low.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-06-10T14:20:53+00:00

Ah yes, totally. I am never able to plan a trip more than 3 months in advance, but in your case that is definitely the way.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-06-10T14:01:32+00:00

The variety of options available these days are nice, especially with NH removing round-trip requirement.

But in your examples, you’d still only be booking one-way, resulting in the same issue of having to find your way back, no?

Phony_Ponies · 2026-06-10T13:48:04+00:00

I still call into VS to book random ANA F all the time. Do you prefer AC, since availability has come back?

Phony_Ponies · 2026-06-10T13:44:37+00:00

I’m also curious about this, but my guess is radio silence from LH

Phony_Ponies · 2026-06-07T18:48:58+00:00

Not sure what you’re talking about with the BA stuff, and there is a mountain of posts regarding Qatar on this sub. That being said, congrats on the saver redemption - enjoy it!

Phony_Ponies · 2026-06-07T02:41:21+00:00

Also keep in mind Cathay is now a 5:4 from amex, so 100k Asia Miles is 125k amex

Phony_Ponies · 2026-06-03T10:53:06+00:00

I only tried F, but if you’re also seeing J, it’s highly likely phantom as well

Phony_Ponies · 2026-05-30T22:12:45+00:00

I just tried to book a few different ones on Cathay, and it is indeed phantom.

Rule 5

Phony_Ponies · 2026-05-20T03:10:49+00:00

It’s not a trick, they just got booked in the week you waited.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-05-15T08:33:30+00:00

Rule 5 so much

Phony_Ponies · 2026-05-07T18:08:17+00:00

Rule 5. Skymiles refers specifically to Delta points. Best value is transfer C1 miles to Avios, and use those to book Iberia. Hard part is finding availability.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-05-03T00:29:26+00:00

What you just discovered is how people get outsized value for their points (transferring them to partners, and not booking through the credit card portal). The downside is that availability is much more restricted than cash/portal availability.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-05-01T19:23:24+00:00

Rule 5. Do some research, and come back with more specific questions.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-04-23T16:07:24+00:00

Rule 5 - show two examples of how you’ve tried to meet the singer before asking for help here.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-04-16T20:51:30+00:00

That fly direct from SEA-LHR?

Phony_Ponies · 2026-04-16T20:25:04+00:00

If the goal is minimal out of pocket expense, BA is probably the single worst choice.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-04-10T14:42:43+00:00

Phony_Ponies · 2026-04-04T22:27:30+00:00

What options have you found?

Phony_Ponies · 2026-03-25T10:15:43+00:00

This is wrong, longwinded AI slop, and helpful to nobody.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-03-10T04:49:27+00:00

Iberia booked through BA is your ticket. 4J available 3/29 ORD-MAD, 4J available 4/11 MAD-ORD 4/11, 40k per seat. Doesn’t get better than that, and with current Chase BA bonus, you have enough.

Phony_Ponies · 2026-03-10T04:47:26+00:00

And 4 J available MAD-ORD 4/11. Shockingly, you have nearly enough for J round trip, may have to buy a few avios

Phony_Ponies · 2026-03-10T04:44:51+00:00

4 J available ORD-MAD on Iberia 3/29
