	*** Possibly a Great Deal on Airfare to Hong Kong ***

I don't know how many of you who are considering going to ACL-2000 in
Hong Kong find yourselves in the same position as me...Lots of mileage
and other reward program points that you might be able to use. I have
lots of points in the American Express Rewards Program and they have an
arrangement right now that allows round trip to Hong Kong for $299 plus
20,000 points or 70,000 point and a "free" round trip economy class
ticket on Cathay Pacific Airlines. I just successfully booked my flight
for $350.30 ($299 + 20,000 points + $41.80 + $9.50 for taxes and such).

This is not an endorsement by ACL of either American Express nor of
Cathay Pacific. It is simply something I found that may make travelling
to ACL-2000 easier for you.
