also, a great rick bayless k terminal location protip is to online order ahead of time and then just show up and boom.

this is a great pro tip

Yes I did not realize this until I was at the front of the line (I hadn't been in 4 years!). Excellent pro tip indeed.

they can waitlist me for it but my work apparently only books turd-class tickets and they want 25k+$350 to upgrade

that's pretty much expected

Are there any hacks to make this happen (besides money, which is not a hack)

I have a plethora of UR points and think I'm going to do London three nights and Paris three nights with the entire family next summer. (but would accept alternative suggestions).

pro tips? I think I will be able to do a Hyatt bonus again for two nights at that sweet Hyatt in Paris, but not sure about London hotels, or things to do, or anything like that. I don't want to see the Mona Lisa, I know that, but I'm pretty much down for anything else. cc the credit card thread for possible hotel cards @steve dave

OK I booked the flights (NONSTOP BOTH WAYS!!!). where should I stay, THANKS GUYS

I'm thinking I could maybe redo the Hyatt two nights thing? thanks all, you are all the best.

How many people in the entire family? Ages?

puniraptor · « **Reply #6824 on:** November 03, 2015, 08:30:46 AM »

i think i am just going to get on the waitlist for busy class and let GOD decide if it is worth all that points and money.
