frapos, I knew you'd come thru for them! Thanks. She asked me and I said "ah....I dunno--check nonrev.net" The M7 was clueless on FRA--never thought I'd type THAT! They got the Sheraton Offenbach Congress since it was close to Europecar (5 min walk and $80 cheaper) They had cash and points for $55. They wouldn't be able to use interline deals since I'll abandon them in Istanbul. Can't wait to do my report for IST chicktrip. Thanks again. PS--Mig, I knew I'd see a comment from you first.
