[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have been quoted $23,400 for our trip. How does this quote sound? We haven't traveled to Europe in a long time so am unsure if this is a fair number. Family of 4. Two weeks in June. LAX to London, Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice. Includes 4 Star hotels (we do not want short term rental homes). First class rail, all air travel, all airport transfers, $800 tour credits for any tours we may choose.  We are considering dropping one city from the itinerary, but for the time being does this quote seem fair?

Thanks! [/quote]

Seems about right, I suppose. Our family of four is spending a week in Paris in June. For four United Polaris business class tickets IAD-CDG, limousine airport transfer, 6 nights in the 3 Bedroom Suite at the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, nightly Michelin 1-2 Star dining, and general spending money we’re planning about $12K.[/quote]

Dumb joke post Just those business class tickets alone would be $4k/person in June, and that hotel probably $2500/night for a large suite.[/quote]

Not really. The clever traveler pays for coach and uses PlusPoints and Global Services status to upgrade to business class. The clever traveler pays for a regular room and uses a combination of a suite upgrade and Lifetime Globalist status to secure an upgrade to a multi-room suite.

I feel bad for the unsophisticated travelers that actually pay cash for such things. So foolish…. These travelers should just be taking long weekends to Virginia Beach (or Long Beach for those in the vicinity of LAX) and leave the international travel to the experts.[/quote]
