I was actually planning to go to Rio later this year.  Only 35k
Continental FF miles for a free ticket.  Not that anyone has been able

anywhere on Continental using FF miles.  But if it was possible I was

JF, question: Do you ever sleep? You appear to be enjoying a non-stop
round-the-clock posting marathon. And what's with all the aliases? Are
you trying to avoid dingbat filters?

Hi group,
Just wondering if anyone can help with a question I have.
I recently flew with my family on an airline we had not used before on a

Please could some kind and knowledgable person tell me how to transfer
between the above two airports, and how long it is likely to take.
Cost is not a major issue, although I am unwilling to pay the high
price of a flight from one to the other.  I will be arriving from the

I've just been toying with booking availability on the BA site for LHR - JFK
for a particular date in April.  I came up with £68 one way + taxes.  Thats
