I'm curious if anyone here had the choice to go on LX F (New) or LH F on the A340 what would you go for?
Yes, be careful my friend!!

Teh Madre de Copa might start to think this mileage running thing is easy. Her change of planes in IAH this morning stayed within C South, and 559 is running 18 minutes late, while the inbound operating 420 for her to start back East is 11 minutes late. And she did clear on 1776, unless there is another SCH, N. on the flight...would be hilarious if that were the case.

I haven't tried either (yet! just a few more months ) but it seems from general wisdom that that choice is a no-brainer.

I am doing this run with my father (CO Gold) 2/8. I will add him as a companion but he may clear without my help. When I do this run I always take 1558 back to IAH. I like hanging out in IAH better then SNA.

Hopefully the CO system will come out of the merger as UA vouchers have no residual value although you can use thhem as $100 checks essentially.

To the original routing credit. I think you need to get the UA form for miles credit that they have and turn into UA and then ask CO to get the original routing credit. I am still having issues with 2,000 miles from November when UA re-routed me. UGH!
You can also ticket my mail..

Some of us from Teh Box had a wonderful long weekend there at Thanksgiving and there are a few things that you should know so PM if you are interested.
Berlin. I'll keep an eye on prices. I will PM if I decide to go there

Thanks EVERYONE!
Changing my Africa Reward ticket from LH to LX in LX F on the A340 JNB-ZRH.

And FS, I am still on your FRA-SFO...are you keeping that date or changing it? I checked LH on Saturday and it was still listed as a 744?

And...WX Waiver...AGAIN????

I had a 420 run booked once, and I ended up bumped and in ONT.

It just struck me that 420 could be one of those flight number jokes...SoCal...

I was just about to say...

In other circles, that can mean something VERY different.

A fourth from me. Grand Hyatt Berlin... one of the best places I've stayed... well, okay, it pales when compared to Lizard Island http://www.lizardisland.com.au/
but hey, Berlin is great.

I'm still on the December dates. I may change it, but that rests on LH releasing just one F seat on the A380.. Even if they don't, it's still a great F product.

I'll give 1K a call to check availability. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I'm glad that they have a Hyatt! A few places (BRU) that I had been looking at did not have any Hyatt properties
