Have departing Europe flights for miles and prices got insane? I am looking in multiple cities to anywhere in east coast and I’m seeing mileage points at over 100K return and even 170 on Air France and AA. Weird is you can go on Air France to Italy 21.5K but return is 170K

Award availability is nuts this summer. Im flying AF on Friday back in business but got very lucky finding it a few months ago. The planes are full.

That. Hotels are full too. Recently showed up at a Marriott hotel with a suite night request and they said they’re overbooked but will give me an entry level room as a token of appreciation for loyalty status 🤣

Specifically for Air France they use married segment logic, so try non-standard airports. I’m flying out of Venice, but say try Bologna or both Milan airports. Just trying CDG-JFK is not a good time.

Few tips for looking at exits:

1) Referrals are a huge tool for getting your foot in the door. At Facebook it guarantees that atleast your resume is given more than a glance.

2) A well constructed story/resume can offset any weak points in your experience

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
