Looking ahead for a family trip to Australia next December/January - 2020/21 - and although not available for booking yet, Delta One award mileage is 880,000 per ticket. Really?

Yeah but supposedly you’ve been enjoying the superior service all this time.

Yeah, good luck ever getting a good deal on that route

Do you have Amex points? Probably a good use of those to make this happen in J (using Virgin Atlantic as an xfer)

That’s why they’re called SkyPesos!

Should have bought tickets during Qantas birthday sale for 700 rt.

Ugh. The issue is that I am DL Diamond but the cost is astronomical. And can’t purchase now for Dec 2020 travel. Is their summer which explains the high cost but 800k for Delta One is absurd.

Hello amazing people. I currently work in CA as a HH RN and planning on relocating to MI in couple months.
I’m not sure about the most efficient way to proceed. Is it best to start as a travel HH RN? Do I apply directly with an agency that offers relocation benefits?….I have over 15 YOE, what’s the pay like in MI?
Thank you all for your help!

All these weddings are blowing my mind and budget. I've had 5 weddings so far this year with several more to go by EoY. On top of that I've been asked to be in a lot of them which adds additional time commitment and cost. The cost of a bachelor party + shitty men's warehouse suit rental + travel and airbnb for the weekend + couple hundred bucks for wedding gift means I'm blowing tons of money for these weddings but I feel bad to say no.
