Nice, we'll miss you by a day, we leave here on the 30th Aug.

 

[Mrs Doubtfire]

Great price Wayne A bit OT but I have never understood how you can clear US customs in Dublin, surely it's no different than flying from elsewhere?

Could have a daily candy if I had planned better.

They have US border control at Dublin airport. Used it when we flew last year. Could do with same here.

 

[Mrs Doubtfire]

Thanks I agree we could do with it at Manchester to save all the hassle after a long day travelling. What a bonus that would be

 

[Tony Toon]

Good news Wayne. Lovely to have a return visit in the pipeline. You all going?

Who is that flying with?

 

[joolz1910]

We'll be there from 18th to 30th. We should try for another Dismeet. I will wear my light-up Minnie ears again

They would melt, you could have made me one of your Dole Whip specials though

Its a codeshare flight with BA/AA flying on AA planes, I think we get 150% airmiles which should get us enough miles for 2 free nights hotel per person.

Cruise 22nd to 29th so will have to try arrange something 18th-21st.

Can't make your own anymore as far as I know

how's AA's business class? i've never flown on AA across the atlantic.

Not had time to look at AA biz class, a quick search reads well. After Xmas I will have a proper look.
I believe Dublin is like Manchester, no direct scheduled flight to Miami, only option is indirect but with the lounges we don't mind, even took a longer stopover so we can use the lounge

Chose seats when I booked but not sure it has worked, I looked on AA site and it is asking me to choose again on there so I assume my selection did not work with the agent I used. Again I have no time til after Xmas.

right...all those poinsettias (or are they not as big in the UK for xmas as they are in the US?)

well no complaining about all the hard holiday work - that's what pays for your zillions of trips to the US of A

where do you enter the US on that flight? JFK?

Not sold them for 20 years, my shop has powerful aircon, its too cold for some plants. We do not get good ones here like the US so I keep away from them.

Yes I think we opted for JFK, they were best times, had choice of 3 or 4 airports but JFK worked best IIRC.

be careful about the connecting flight.
When i just checked AA, they offered me flying into JFK and then out of newark. How insane is that??
Make sure your connecting flight is out of JFK.

So flying JFK. Shall i acquaint you with the nightmare that is JFK?
Actually, American is fine at JFK. They have a nice terminal (terminal 8). Unlike the third world delta terminal (terminal 2).

i'm pretty sure you fly both into and out of terminal 8, so it's really easy.
But i have to check that to make sure.
oh wait - you're flying out of dublin, then i'm sure you fly into terminal 8.
That's fantastic. It's soooooo easy as you'll be in the same terminal coming in from dublin and heading out to miami. Easy shmeezy.
And they have two business lounges, one for domestic and one for international, so you'll have access in both directions.

Excellent! While Tony Toon and I love our hols I do miss sharing them with DD, DS old Uncle Tom Cobley and all Niece is expecting baby no 2 today. Reckon we might manage to force her, her hubby, great niece, great nice/nephew and a host of others to come with us again in the not too distant future.

[Pootle]

Delighted to read you got a bargain

Is it a 'boomerang' flight or will you return to Dublin?

 

[1andrea]
