[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re traveling with our two kids from IAD to SYD over spring break: March 14-21. Four round-trip tickets in United Polaris Business class IAD-SFO-SYD is $4,750 + 320 PlusPoints. DH is Global Services and has access to special PlusPoints inventory and reduced airfare cost.

Then, we’re staying at the Park Hyatt in Sydney for five nights with two rooms. One is the 3853 sqft Sydney Suite with two bedrooms, outdoor terrace, gourmet kitchen, fireplace, sauna, and steam room. The other is an 807 sqft premium king room with opera house view. This is costing us 410K Hyatt Points plus one Suite Upgrade Certificate. DH is lifetime globalist with Hyatt and knows the Park Hyatt Sydney management personally. They always upgrade him to the best speciality suite.

For food, excursions, transportation, and entertainment, we’re budgeting $1000 per night = $5000.

So, we’re looking at about $10K cash + 410K Hyatt Points + 1 Hyatt suite upgrade certificate + 320 United PlusPoints for a 4-person spring break to Australia on a very first class and premium vacation. Blows my mind to hear that people are spending $20K+ for vacations. We could travel to the moon and back for that much!! Must be all the BigLaw pigeons.  :lol: [/quote]

It blows my kid that you are flying to Australia for a week and your Business class flights are not that much more than my coach tickets to tampa last spring break. [/quote]
