Couple’s trip – Bahamas, Turks and Caicos or Anguilla? Hi all! I want to gift my boyfriend a trip to an island somewhere we can relax but also enjoy the beach day.

One of them has a torn ACL – we’re not sure if she’ll get her surgery before the trip or not, but her mobility is obviously fairly limited (no more crutches but a big brace at this point). We’re looking at some options in Europe, Central America, and South America. None of us are interes…

I called to cancel a flight booked on British Airways: First class from Milan MXP to NY JFK, with a stopover in LHR. Paid with 96K avios and about 500$ dollars, a good deal. The r…
