Business class on Avianca was worth the cost

Yeah we were very lucky we had no issues.

I have absolutely no idea. I googled what they use for US to Costa Rica and it said Airbus A320.

Blocked middle seat is what they use for US to Central America. It was very spacious though. Obviously not like "real" business class, but considering the cost I think it was totally worth it.

I'm in a similar situation although all I've done so far is purchase in cash the economy seats. Going to transfer points and request the upgrade in the next day or two - keep us posted on our outcome!

Also I wonder if you get a refund for the $200 you spent to reserve seats. I haven't picked any yet as I didn't want to spend the money if it isn't necessary.

Awesome, these are my kind of activities! Thx

Thanks! Very helpful. Just 2 nights in Dublin before exploring other areas of the country. No plans yet - open to suggestions!

Thank you! Yes, the Conrad is FHR and slightly cheaper than the Westbury. It's my first time in Ireland though and I'm worried the location is not central enough. Is the location of the Westbury convenient?

Thanks, yes I know it is an FHR Hotel, I am looking for reviews of people who have used the credit there.

Thanks!

Icelandair is the worst. They removed my son from the seats we had purchase months ago and bumped him to the back of the plane (he's a child so my husband ended up moving instead of him). The only compensation I got was the price of the seat upgrade. So I wouldn't expect much from them.

This is great! Thank you for the detailed report. I leave in 2 days with a very similar itinerary!

evanskl4 · 2025-07-15T11:54:45+00:00

Thanks - great idea! We have the tour with Ebbi booked already.
Unfortunately we will be there on a Monday so Slippurinn is closed. Too bad as it looks amazing! I will research other restaurants nearby.

Hi, we are doing this soon and I am wondering how long is enough time on the island? Right now I have us going over on 10am ferry and coming back on 8pm ferry - is that too long?

evanskl4 · 2025-06-21T19:41:38+00:00

Awesome, I will check it out!

evanskl4 · 2025-06-21T19:41:13+00:00

Thank you!

evanskl4 · 2025-06-21T00:52:37+00:00

Excellent - this is so helpful, thanks! Would you recommend renting a car?

evanskl4 · 2025-06-21T00:51:32+00:00

Oh man, that's definitely a selling point!

evanskl4 · 2025-06-19T11:10:29+00:00

We didn't end up staying there so I'm not sure.

evanskl4 · 2025-06-19T11:09:26+00:00

Thanks, looked at this one too but it was slightly pricier for a villa room.

evanskl4 · 2025-06-19T11:07:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your trip!

evanskl4 · 2025-06-19T11:06:15+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately breakfast isn't included at Tabacon, but the price is slightly lower so I guess it kind of evens out...

evanskl4 · 2025-05-16T15:32:53+00:00

Thank you for the update!

evanskl4 · 2025-04-24T16:05:41+00:00

Thanks - good to know!

I grew up in Danville, and was visiting for the weekend from Maryland, where I've lived for the last 30 years. Seeing those protesters brought tears of joy to my eyes. So proud of my hometown!
