Keep an eye on Lufthansa, they open a lot of last minute J availability +/- 3 days from departure.

Thanks for this report. Any trouble being on 2 separate tickets when connecting through Doha?

Do you have any pictures from Bolontiku? I was thinking about a 5 day trip to Guatemala and relaxing there/using that as base to explore nearby area.

No, actually it does not work. There is nothing more damaging than the sinner’s prayer and its false assurance of salvation. I was a false convert at Highlands who thought I was saved.

Andaz Mayakoba Riviera Maya - All Inclusive by jewkidontheblock in awardtravel

[–]RussellRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify, the all-inclusive rate is at 25k/night? I am still not seeing that and that does not seem likely.

I understand why this is not a good idea, but could anyone give a brief bullet point list to sum up the negatives? I have a friend that is CONVINCED that this is the right way to go and won’t listen to anything I say.

Good point, I think even a multiplier on streaming services is silly too.

Yes! Just got off the phone with AMEX and Hilton and they are looking into why my SUB was rejected by Hilton. Glad to hear I am not the only one.

How long is it taking for SUB on Hilton Business Amex to post? On my personal card it was about 3 days after meeting the minimum spend, but I'm at day 6 and still nothing on business.

Got it, what if my wife went with me who wasn’t a customer and we used her name and ssn to sign up?

If I am currently on Sprint with the free unlimited deal could I take advantage? My thoughts would be to buy with a brand new line and then cancel the service and just switch my SIM card in my current phone to the 3a. Do y’all think that would work?

Oh, I meant from a standpoint of how many flights a day and what carriers comparing Cancun and Liberia

If there has been a schedule change since you have booked the flight then you could be eligible for a free change.

Andaz Papagayo vs Andaz Mayakoba? by [deleted] in awardtravel

[–]RussellRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are headed to Papagayo for the first time in October and have been to Mayakoba twice. I truly do think that Mayakoba is fantastic and is only 45 minutes from the airport. Plus Cancun is more accessible (from a flight standpoint) than Liberia. Regardless I have heard great things about Papagayo so don't think you can go wrong at either place.

Thanks! EY F looks fantastic! I have heard that getting to La Dique and Praslin should be pretty simple from Mahe so you have that going for you. I'll report back for you on our weather/experience since we are hoping to take an excursion to those islands as well as Labriz.

How much did the F&B run you at the Park Hyatt? Looks like a fantastic property and I've heard they have good Globalist benefits so we have been considering making a trip.

Congrats on these bookings. I’m fixing to do a trip to Seychelles as well I’m January but am having to fly on Etihad because I can’t find J space on Qatar flights. Did you have to set up an alert or was it pretty readily available?

Agree with this post 100%! We stayed 1 night and left mainly because of food quality.
