I was able to use my FFMiles for a free Business Class to Europe..I could not believe that there were still space available with AA Advantage.I reserved my tickets only few days ago.

Going to Rome the 27th August,stay few days in my beautiful city, then I take the train to Pescara. My niece is getting married.

Back to Rome again for few extra days, then fly to Paris with Swiss Air ( free also), take the TGV to Provence. I may go to Spain with my sister.

Back to Paris once again for few days , I will be leaving Paris for SAT the 26 Sept.

Once again I want to thank you dear Fodorites for the invaluable informations about the FFmiles.

I will think about you and make a wish at La Fontana di Trevi for all of you, that someday you may be able to visit my beautiful city , Rome.

Lucky you! I can't wait to go back to Rome.

This sounds like such a fantastick trip!
Good for you!

Congratulations, Chimera!

Now all you have to do is to survive the anticipation. Till the end of August, my goodness!

I will survive Faina although that August seems so far away.
Luckily that this past June I went in Europe for a month, so I will be looking at the latest photos while having a glass of white wine..
Alla Salute,

That is great, kismetchimera! And believe me, I can tell you from experience, the time flies by!

Have fun flying 'home'.

Safe journey, Tiff

Oh, my gosh! that is a great 'surprise' ! I'd be afraid to fly Business Class in the event I could never go back to coach again afterwards.
Rome, Paris & Provence - has a nice sound to it....

great! glad you've got it all set.

Travelnut, these were the exact words that the Customer Service lady told me..

It will be hard for me to fly cattle class again,after having experienced the comfort of Business Class, especially in such long trip.

I dont worry about it..
