I have not TICKETED my BA flight we talked a nice man into holding it for us. We are going to use British Air on the way over but do not get to Cairo until midnight on March 8. Just waiting until just before these expire to see if First Class opens up with a companion ticket we can justify the mileage.

BA does ONE WAY flights for 50% mileage award level that really helps in getting seats instead of waiting for the return date to be in the system.

Taxes for DFW - LHR - Cairo were about $596 each whether you are business or first SAME TAXES. Still a good deal with a free companion ticket.
80,000 miles and $1192 for two people DFW to Cairo business class with miles from a credit card - great deal.

We are going BA over and hope to get AA coming back Amman - Chicago - DFW. We will probably be on game drive when these open --- Oh LINDA a favor please. Asking someone to do your FF tickets is a BIG favor it is never easy.
