I’m flying AA today. Lemme get them!!!

60k is a trip to Europe. Buy something cheap from the AA portal

I’ve only ever been able to find AA flights to Europe on BA through LHR where I owe $200 in fuel surcharges- why would I pay 60k miles and $200 if I could just pay $600 total? Am I doing something wrong with AA miles or something.. can’t find a way to use these that makes sense

Buy me a ticket

Biz class on Qatar is prob best use. LikeTA1 said buy something shopping portal to extend date

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
