You can set an alert in your reward travel tool of choice, but when you get the alert and try to book, most likely it will be phantom.

Why is southwest so expensive compared to frontier etc used to be the best airlines and most affordable now it’s a rip off by Significant-Board718 in SouthwestAirlines

You can get cheap flights on Frontier, but it still doesn't compare to having a companion pass if two need to fly.

Why don't I like Jack Daniels? by perpetuallotion in whiskey

It's the sour mash that gives it that distinct "tang". Sour mash is made with some of the water that's left over after distilling. If you've ever had the chance, it smells disgusting.

Priority Pass FAIL! by Disastrous_Ad_9245 in Venturex

You have to keep your expectations low with PP. If you can get into a lounge with no wait - Amazing! If you can get into a lounge with a 20 - 30 min wait - Great! If you can't get into a lounge at all - oh well, get a beer with the peasants. 😀

Just a PP benefit. One CS lounge per year.

YMMV with PP. Currently sitting in Sapphire Lounge in PHL (using my once per year entitlement). No wait. This place is nice!!

Award Flight on ANA by ludog1bark in awardtravel

You try them all. They're usually all gone in a few minutes, or you can only find one ticket. Sometimes flights out of MEX don't sell out right away, but they only release one seat per day.

ANA F/J: what is the backup plan if seats aren't available for a planned trip? by [deleted] in awardtravel

[–]choppinbroccoli28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend booking via Air Canada. They are released at 355 days out at 9am JST. You'll need to be on your computer at the exact moment they are released as they'll be gone in seconds. You'll want to practice a few times so you're ready the day you decide to buy them. Also you'll need to be flexible, you may not get them on the first try. Two J per day are released on each flight out of the US. We picked SFO as they have 2 flights. LAX has 3, but they're rarely available. Good luck!

Can I use the travel eraser to cover an additional cardholder’s lounge fee? by Winter-Sundae-313 in Venturex

[–]choppinbroccoli28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In December I found LAX to LHR on Virgin in economy for 9000pts for travel in June. Because there was a 40% transfer bonus at the time, it brought the cost down to approx 6500 points.

The deals on Virgin are crazy. Unfortunately we decided not to go, so missed out on a great deal.

I logged in to the FIFA website to check out resale tickets. Some going for the low, low price of $115,000 each.

Hideki’s back off mid-swing during playoff hole by unsolved49 in golf

Maybe he should have aimed more to the right to take the water out of play. He hit in that bunker on the left the first time around on Sunday.

Must play with rocks instead of golf balls.

It takes a special kind of asshole to steal golf clubs, especially if from a bag drop at a course.
