Hey Wills. Thank you so so much for your reply! Now that I’m thinking of it I’ve definitely looked at that ITA back in the day before I non reved. So you’re saying she would buy a ticket to LHR and then fly AA non rev back home? Well as I was writing this post my friend that’s stressed out about work (and didn’t get on the first try out to LAX tonight) just bought a ticket on United from HKG-ORD-DEN. Honestly she has the money to do it, while it’s unexpected and a bit of a setback she had the cash on hand and her credit cards are mostly clear, so she’ll be fine. Also she got premium econ on the way over here so all things considered she saved a lot on that experience. Also I’m just glad the stress of figuring things out for her is off my mind. Now I just have to worry about my other D3 that is trying to get back to PHX. And me, since things are looking rough for D1s out of here (but I wouldn’t use a D1 til my D3 is gone anyway). Also I have another week off and a visa to mainland China with a friend that teaches English in Guangzhou, as well as my friend that teaches in Tokyo. So I could always go stay with either of them if I’m tight on cash (also flights out of Tokyo back to US are still rough but looking slightly better than this HK mess).

Well, I’m headed off to bed but I will certainly be back with an update lol. I’ll be repeating the non rev prayer tonight in my dreams and tomorrow too! Thank heavens for this board haha.
