WARNING HORIZON is changing and then yet again changing trips that flights are being dropped etc. I went into "my trips" today to discover that one of my trips (four flights) was dropped out of "My trips" and when the agent restored it a leg ( important one I might add) was totally eliminated ! It took sometime to get this resolved.
KEEP CHECKING your advance reservations it's getting weird at Horizon and it seems one can not totally rely on them presently. Maybe they will get a new CEO.

Thanks to the QX shenanigans, now on board N434QX Milton G Kuolt II and collecting an additional segment and 500 EQM/1000 RDM. Let's see if the stars will align fast enough to standby an illegal connection.
ETA: Flow control so no dice. At least my original connection went back on time after an appearant fat finger.

Mr. Campbell has his hands full and he needs to reassure his flying public that he has a plan. right now it's all #$#$#$%$# coming out of them.
Just saying.

Sorry to interrupt the regularly scheduled programming here, but popping into comment on what a mess FI @ KEF was yesterday, or is it normal to board without respect to class, making folks wait in a holding pen, and again on the jetway? At least the lounge was nice. I asked if one of the canapes might be octopus, which horrified the attendants: "NO!" I replied I was disappointed (it was only cream cheese).
Putrified shark was all hype, but the souvenir shirt from the processing plant is cool.

Just booked an S fare class flight SEA-DCA, and even with an empty FC and PC, no U space available. I know it's one of the more popular routes, but I figured they'd have at least one open U spot 4 months in advance.
On the bright side, at least I'm getting the very nice +50% bonus miles for Y/S fare classes.

Traffic was a bit 
on the Glenn tonite.
Was planning on spending a bit of time at the BR, but most of that time was spent on the road. Construction paving the center lane had three lanes merged into one... and there was no way around the cluster. Ended up making the flight and 15 minutes in the BR too... but was concerned with traffic stopped.

I need to do nyc sea yvr and have now booked nyc-xlax-sea (in F) thru +1's 75K account.
I called AS and was told if i want to add seayvr then ill need to do nyc-osea-yvr and with 10k miles extra (to 35k) but if i want to keep the VX flight then ill need to ticket sea yvr seperately...
Questions
1) I canNOT have a transit then a stopover?
2) 24hr cooling off period doesnt really affect me since miles were taken from a 75k account?

Question... For a Y class ticket (or any with bonus miles) is the minimum earning 500 miles or does that it also get bumped by the bonus to 750? Have some PDX-SEA segments coming up.

Yes, if you have paid for full Y the COS bonus is 50%. You will earn EQM of 500 minimum miles +50% COS bonus for a total of 750 EQM. If you have Elite status, the bonus RDM will be added as well. 750 EDQ, RDM 1000, 1250, 1375 for MVP, MVPG, MVPG75K.

It does get bumped up. Ie 25% yields 625% miles flown. Same for EQM, just no % bump for MM'er.
