Only URL, so no space taken :P

Need a bit more notice to pop over to Geneva, still have a few million air miles to consume.

I tried to use some on my flight to NY a few months back with the family, not a single seat available in any class during the whole of August and beginning of September. It is just a con really :x

Years of travel hoaring but no means to spend the ill gained stuff :)

You need to book quite early

Last trip to Boston was free in Bus Class, well I say free, you still get screwed for the taxes!

I tried to book at the end of May for August, which I thought would be early enough. They probably have 1 seat in each class available or so :(

Think I could go to Boston, but NY or Washington are more popular I suppose.
