Hey, I know this is late but exactly how many miles did this trip take? and would a regular joe schmo be able to achieve this or does one have to be gain a certain status level for membership of either the airlines or hotel before booking these rooms/flights?

Dan,

Looking to book a trip from paris to london to manchester for a wedding. Should i transfer Chase UR points to miles with United or just book directly through Chase? I have about 64K UR points.

Thanks!

How did you find 2 suites seats on the same flight? While they have been releasing Suites availability at Saver level recently, it seems to never be more than one seat per flight.

My vote is to keep pics at the bottom of the post.

Dan,
Just curious since this is also a business for you. Do you take the restaurant charges as a business expense (I think you would be entitled to)

@yitz: You are correct of course, but I was referring to points outside of North America. The 57K award is only for flying on Singapore. @98765: Transferred from AMEX on Thursday They post within 2-46 hours. @yl: I bought an unlocked Centro for $30 years ago. I buy the airtime from them.

I would also like to hear more about this onesimcard company. Which phone did you buy and why? is it rechargeable with airtime bought in different countries or must you buy it from them?
I think this may be post worthy!

Did you have the points sitting in your krisflyer account ? or did you transfer from amex when you decided to take the trip ? i am asking if they held the reservation while waiting for the points to come in ? If i have allot of points how would you recommend spreading them around to make sure you dont lost avail seats while waiting for points to come in ?
miles N more ?
Kris flyer
ANA ?

each program has its benefits & reasons why you need to keep points with them individually

a couple questions.. first you mentioned that cathay only flys to hong kong from us. dont they fly to vancouver as well?
second, wouldnt the 55+k miles used for the suite also allow you to get 24 hour connections in europe as a connecting first class ticket? say jfk-zrh with a suite on sq to fra and then lx/lh to zrh, like a united mileage ticket would get you?
thanks for any heads ups about this

@AJK: It's a lot more work for me, and I always figured this way folks who just want to gloss over pics can see them in one place, but I'll definitely consider it next time. @Sam B: Perhaps in NYC, but not compared to the other places I mentioned. @Josh: Correct.

Hey Dan as usual great trip notes. Quick question, on Singapore’s website it doesnt say where you can book using points unless you are KrisFlyer member. Does that mean you have to become a member in order to transfer the AMEX points over?
