Why not just do what I do guys? If you are patient and book a year in advance for around 3-3500(normally 5000 if you do it now), you can go to Munchen/Munich DE. Americans can stay in Germany for up to 3 months W/O a VISA few others as well. If you want to stay longer $30 gets you a 1 year and $60 for two years. I have a friend and she lets me rent her nice 2 bedroom, 15 min from the airport, in the city for $200 a night, with WIFI. Hotel's on average go for that easily. If I stay longer, like a week, she hooks me up with a nice discount and if you pay cash, then you might even get that shaved down to a 150, which includes full maid service and parking(if you need a car).
I might do that the next time there is a VERY good Bayern Munchen game, say the championship and it collides with a Germany WCQ game. That would be dope, even for Dortmund BM tickets you can find those for $500. The hell with paying that much money for a private jet. Oh and you can get great Economy Plus tickets for 1/2 that price. I cannot do economy I would be too uncomfortable I say AT LEAST pay the extra $200 or so and get the Economy Plus. I know some of you are going to say, Oh fly economy, the flight arrives at the same time." . Part of a journey is LEHZAT BEKESH, you deserve it. Here in the Gold Old USA, you get what two weeks off, IF you are lucky. Save up your money and enjoy yourself! Also, you will not have a nagging wifi(for those of you who have one) she will then make your trip pleasant in more than one way. Plus, using the business longue facilities are pimp. I do not need to do that for DOMESTIC because I can get economy Plus and just use the U.S.O facilities. Free wifi, computers for active/retired and IMMEDIATE family(my pops and mon use it as well) That is true but then you arrive to your destination(can be anywhere) fresh, relaxed and not as bad of a jet lag. Then on the trip back home, you can go to work the next day, ready to go! I might travel once every other(INTERNATIONAL) year and just came back from Australia and New Zealand with my pops(next one will be a solo trip to Mun,DE, in a couple of years).
Too bad now airlines are getting greedy and no more rewards mileage programs, those days are GONE. Now it is like 1000 points for a coke so go through either expedia/travelocity or a traveling agency and get the cheapest tickets. BTW I hate the whole tour scene thing adn in May Munchen is behesht! In Sept it is also good and you catch some games. NOTE -DO NOT, go during Oktoberfest, most hotels will jack up the price and do a $100 surcharge. That place I described to you, she charges an extra $100 for that month. By May all of the Oktoberfesters are gone and the summer season has not quite hit. Eateries and other establishments will not jack up the price.
