In reply to TravelBloggerBuzz. And suddenly the new Avios chart doesn't seem so bad now... Think we gonna burn the 200k avios after $40k spend. The Walmart MCX better be working in Dec & Jan!

In reply to snoptro.

I will be flying JAL and Cathay Pacific in Business Class next June. Well, at least that is what the AA agent booked me…but no confirmation emails yet and I am starting to get really worried!

Yeah, crappy availability is only going to get worse, prepare for long phone hold times!

In reply to ABC.

LOL! They shouldn’t have released Sandler from SNL into the wild.

Wow sounds like JL has made drastic improvements since four years ago. I flew its F back in June NRT-ORD and was really impressed (and no Sandler to be found anywhere!!!).

Never flew CX F but did try out their J last year. It was OK… Wondering how much better its F is over its own J and JL F.

Planning a trip for August and been monitoring availability. Definitely dwindling… Fast!!

Anyway, thanks for your input ABC and TBB!

In reply to Dima.

Actually, just booked me a trip to Kuala Lumpur and stopping in Tokyo and Honk Kong along the way…in June. And yeah thinking about blowing my IHG free night there again but likely not to as I am getting to the hotel around midnight and flying out in the evening…have not decided yet.

Enjoyed the Hong Kong part as I’m finally booked to be there in June. Adding those few things to my todo list. That view of the harbor makes me wish I played the hotel points game. Or maybe not. But great view anyways!

Didn’t know about Thai golf carts (not a Titan, not reading the Titans

In reply to Mike. >>>>>>>Excellent report, I could have read it in two installments. LOL, that is way too funny! No, that was a ridiculous price in a 5 star hotel like the Intercontinental. I found the prices very reasonable and in the local markets cheap! I stay like a true Titan...for free! :-)
