Ah yes...777 so close yet so far away Tongue  I'm stuck flying American and its affiliates so i can use my miles.  That is the only affordable way i can go.  the miles i have saved will take off most of the trip and only leave me with part of the fee and the taxes 8)  If all goes as planned i sould only need about $200 for the tickets.

There will be other trips though.  Already in the planning is a senior year spring break trip to London meaning most likely British Airways 777 from somewhere Grin Not the entire class but those of us interested and can shell out what the school cant. Wink

Hey Triple_7 --- if you're planning on using freq. flier miles for an int'l trip, book well in advance ... like months and months.  There's only a few seats on a given flight at the airlines allow freq. flier tickets.

Scary to think that just the fees and taxes are about USD200! Smiley ... Good luck!

I have a feeling any booking will be done in late March or early April.  By then i could have the extra money saved to pay for the extras.  She has to use a travel agent for her tickets when the time comes and if im going we will do it all at the same time to make sure flights match up.  I stopped by a travel agent while my mom was checking on another trip.  They did a cost estimate for me.  Looks like around 200 for taxes.  but considering i might have to pay for part of the main flight sence my miles might not be enough to make it that far and back + around 50 for passport and such...Its going to add up fast Undecided  But if work picks up soon that shouldnt be a problem Tongue  Though the way things go in a few months the taxes could rise  Undecided
