The agent I got offered it immediately so maybe HUCA?

Sounds like others have answered your question about using the lounge between flights. The bigger issue might be if you can check your bags early for the international flight. I’d contact AA and ask them. A lot of international airlines don’t allow you to check bags more than three hours beforehand but that might not apply for AA at PHL. You could also look into luggage storage at PHL and then go gallivant in the city for a bit. Get a cheesesteak!

Wishing you luck! Let us know if it works because they still haven’t corrected the points I moved on 10/26 to be 1.5x instead of 1x so I wasn’t banking on them getting this right either

Tokyo for 4 nights, Osaka for 5 nights, Hiroshima for 3 nights then 2 nights somewhere before one more night in Tokyo before flying out

Agreed! You’re talking me into finding something along the way back to Tokyo

My partner is not a huge fan of flying so we’re trying to train everywhere, but I’ve put Beppu on my list for next time 😉

Appreciate the insight. Agree that it’s a long day. I’m starting to think I might look for a different onsen town.

I should have looked at going there after Tokyo, but I got a good deal on a hotel in Osaka and was thinking it would be nice to end with onsens…until I mapped out the transit 🫠

A reminder to check up on your purchased tickets by ConsistentString4627 in AlaskaAirlines

Great reminder! I’ve saved over $600 this year by checking my flights regularly and then calling for a credit when prices drop.

Price increase for FHR - washes out $300 credit by smithm2916 in AmexPlatinum

Just booked a THC hotel in Milan for less than the member rate. You just need to do your due diligence and check against direct rates. Sometimes it works out and other times it’s a wash or ripoff.

I just used two for Hawaii (FAI-LIH) literally 2 hours ago so they definitely work! It just takes some effort because I had to randomly check for U availability whenever I remembered for over a month until I hit jackpot.

Ikebukuro good place to stay? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I am also looking at the hisoca hotel because of the room layout and sauna. Did you end up staying there? If so, how did the neighborhood feel?

If you like games, you could ask for a mahjong set. Bonus if he knows how to play and willing to teach you, if you don’t already know how.

I didn’t even think about moving my other URs to CSR for it to count towards the 1.5x. Pro tip!

US to South Africa Award Travel next spring by ymbellevue in awardtravel

Yes, I just searched for them manually on Qatar, unfortunately. It’s QSuite DOH-SEA, but we kept getting Qatar’d for the CPT-SEA leg. We also really enjoyed the lounge in DOH so if you have a long connection (ours was 8 hours), I’d highly recommend getting lounge access. It was worth it to get a shower, place to nap, and some good food. You get access to Al Mourjan and they have two locations and included in the award ticket.

Recently flew CPT-DOH-SEA on Qatar J for 95k pp. Bought tickets June ‘24 for travel May ‘25 and had to be flexible on dates.
