Airfare Success!

Daughter 3 - AinA is getting married in France in September. My major contribution is to get all of the siblings and husbands there.

I successfully got 4 tickets of which 3 were free using frequent flyer miles. Only glitch was having to route John the Armenian Deal Hound via Johannesburg South Africa to get his free ticket.

Poor John... Is he really traveling separately from the rest of the family?

That is so cool! I'm sure your efforts are hugely appreciated. Maybe a little less so by John the Armenian who might feel as if you're trying to ditch him somewhere in South Africa. I'm sure he'll take this one for the team ;-)

Hey shouldn't I get some kind of kudos for helping you get miles??

That's a pretty sweet deal!

SRM - Yes the only way I could get the free ticket was to have J fly from Chicago to Abu Dhabi to Johanesburg and then on to Paris. A bit out of the way but worth it to save $50. It's part of the Armenian way.

WOW! I'm sure everyone is most appreciative of your efforts! A plane ticket to France is not cheap at all. Tell her congrats on the wedding! We're getting married in September as well.
