For a flight on AA I have 2 options.

1. $397 RT. I have $300 in vouchers so costs me $97 out of pocket.

2. 25k aadvantage miles RT. I have plenty.

What would you do?

Pay. Save the miles (though, I’m a hoarder with miles so perhaps not the best to answer this...)

Yeah M1 and K1. That's what I was thinking.

Pay cash. You’ll get more value for the points on other flights.

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

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
