We have reached the window for flights home from Venice; stayed up late to snag two business class tickets at low mileage; success!

Marc, isn't it complimentary Biz Air from Europe? (maybe the non-use air was really good). Glad you got flights at reduced miles!
While you're going from Barcelona to Venice, we're going to fly from Barcelona to Israel (and visit Petra too). We've never been to either when the pod broke on TUT...it's long overdue.

Olivia, Venice - CDG - Atlanta - Huntsville leaving at a comfortable 10am; had thought the flight from Venice to JFK to Atlanta would be easier (no chance for misconnect in Europe) but flight via Paris gets us home four hours earlier.
Marcie, I believe air credit is $1700 per person and we would have had to fly out of Atlanta to use Regent air. Total price (HSV - MIA and VCE - HSV) was 75,000 miles per person so better deal, to me, than Regent air.

You got a good deal with your routing, Mark for a RT in biz.

I got my air award flight today back from Venice, VCE/JFK/BWI and it worked for me. Not the deal Marc got, but DONE, and that is always good!

who did you get your air on Olivia? We are using Regent air, but want to have some preferences to give them. One option is VCE-FRA-EWR-RIC using LH. But if there is a VCE-JFK non stop, would love to consider that.

Yes and AF to Atlanta. A little nervous as I previously used AF Rome to CDG to Atlanta and had to spend a night in Paris as we were delayed out of Rome. But Paris was great; my first visit.  Delta has VCE - JFK nonstop at 1:25pm so you even get to sleep in.

JoAnn, I'm on that 1:25 Delta flight Marc spoke of above, then I have a flight NY to BWI on Delta as well. Worked with my points guy, I never seem to find what they can. I have no idea what airlines Regent uses.

Thanks Marc and Olivia. We will be ready with our preferred options when the day comes later this month.

Unfortunately, we have an ungodly hour morning flight out of Venice on BA to London, then AA non-stop to LAX. We like the middle 2 seats in Biz class so we each have an isle. If we switch to AF at a reasonable hour we'd have a stranger in-between us since they have a 2-3-2 configuration in Biz. I knew we didn't want BA with their WEIRD backwards, forward jig saw crammed in configuration of seats.

I agree regarding BA's Weird Biz class.. If I have to pay the taxes and go through Heathrow and its available I will just use more miles for BA First!! It just recently really jumped in mileage cost though..
