When my ds8 and I flew to FLL a couple weeks ago, we took a red eye. He’s a fantastic sleeper, me not so much, so I thought, “why not?” First off, the flight was packed with kids and babies and little people of every age. I did not see that coming. Way more kids that the evening flight we just took to MCO. Second shocker, none of the kids slept, including my ds. It had to be one of the loudest and liveliest flights I’ve been on. Didn’t see that coming either lol!Flight delayed because our plane came in late. Still shows us landing early though so there must be some good winds up there.
Just hoping I can sleep, way too many kids on the flight. I know sometimes you have to do a red eye but why would you to FL? I hope they sleep or are having a relaxing day tomorrow.

We did the red eye from Seattle to MCO with our five in February. I prefer it to day time flights because the kids just sleep or are quiet and tired. Although I think I have unusually good travelers, the flight attendants always comment on how surprised they are that they are so good. I do get a ton of side eye boarding the plane though. People just expect five kids will be terrible I guess.Flight delayed because our plane came in late. Still shows us landing early though so there must be some good winds up there.

We flew SW and the WiFi was terrible. TV and movies wouldn't stream. Not sure what was up but you could see the people around trying to reload constantly in hopes it’d play. I couldn’t even get the flight tracker to loadThat's nuts. Things have quieted a bit so we'll see.
And crazy winds because the flight time is 4 h 42 min and it should be closer to 5 h 20 min. Which is good since we're still waiting for them to load cargo though the app says we departed. Just want to get in the air so the wifi comes on and I can put a movie on my phone. Annoying that they offer it but we can't use it before like the seatback screens.
My kids travel well too and flight attendants always seem surprised. My ds did great on his first red eye. Most of the kids on the plane were great too but they were just awake. Sleeping was not on the agenda lol. We had a couple babies on the flight and one cried the entire wayWe did the red eye from Seattle to MCO with our five in February.

Is your daughter doing a semester abroad or going to school there full time? My son wants to study in England for a semester hopefully next year. He is going to be researching and talking to his advisor about it this year.OMG that is too funny. I love London--it's my favorite city in the world. We actually bought a time share there last year in Mayfair and with my daughter going to school over there, we go all the time. I've never stayed at the hotel, but we've eaten at Trader Vics there. Our time share is a few blocks away so we walk by all the time. It's a fantastic location.

@kandb Is this a standard Amex offer that you added to the card? If so, yes, it can be via more than one stay. I had paid one night and then another night at a different hotel and AmEx totaled the 2 and gave me the $40 after that 2nd stay.
