I want to visit my UK daughter this summer... $$$ time to travel to Europe , I know.
But REALLY $$$
I booked points over and tried to buy back...
the return - 1 way - was $2000...
So - points over - then hotel- then $2000 back...
No Go Joe.... my daughter was ticked.
I got to thinking..
Those air/hotel packages do not acknowledge seasonal flight increases
They use 'bulk fare prices'
I called AA Vacations...
asked for flight and said I wanted to be near the Gloucester underground station for a hotel
Shazam!!!
the girl produced 2-3 choices....
all +/- $2000
I booked for $1917... air /Hotel.
Added my ugrade seat -- free drinks/food and preboarding... $103 each way.
I pay $68 each way POP - EWR on United and get n o drinks/food nor boarding
I don't like AA much.. but I have good times... exit row seats....the works
Use the package deal if/when you can... saves a bundle ... on any airline
I won't bore you w/ how I figured that out... it was 25 yrs ago
