As is the norm, still on standby and have nothing booked yet until told "do it." This could be the one time I don't wish anything good on the political climate, perhaps CNN could be my friend this week and burst a bubble. Either way, good info thanks everyone. It will come down to what Amex Travel / Concur have available in the pipeline. K-in-Boston, I'm not sure about the Dubai to Saudi option, last I heard that is a no-go, don't recall the reasoning behind it though. Most likely they'll wait another 3-4 days, say book it, and I'll be in the cargo hold w/ the pets.
On a side note, flying out of Saudi for a return trip... pretty much screws you or any laptop use over on a layover as you must check-in all laptops due to new regulations. Who ever said earning rewards points was fun?!
