I feel so blessed. I was just informed by Mitch Lawrence, Vice President for Security & Counterintelligence of the United States Investigations Service (USIS) that because the West African Union authorities found my name in a Scammer database, they are holding $17,000,000 for me.
I really don't have much spare time right now, but I'll give the offer away if someone will kick a small referral back to me. All they need is a $350 check for their attorney plus your ID and bank info.
Methinks my next stop is spamcop.net

KLM wide body landing at MSP about 11 this morning -- are they operating regular flights out of MSP or was this a stray?
Later: Appears to be a regular flight

I didn't know where to post this . . . .
Does anyone know what the lowest mileage redemption "should be" <I know - haha!
> from PIT to CMB in D1 / J?
The lowest I'm seeing is 97.5K. I see 80K on UA.
Anyone?!?
I've been building miles for my retirement, and I just wanna BLOW SOME MILES to somewhere exotic!
How does a week in Colombo sound for that? Some city stuff and some beach stuff? Any cool experiences?
Thanx!

this may be more true for Y awards, but I think the trick is to look from the DL gateway city, as the domestic leg (PIT-JFK/ATL/DTW/MSP) tends to drive up the price of the entire award

The 97.5K awards I found routed me via ATL & ICN. So, I tried ATL/CMB and DTW/CMB and still got 97.5K. I tried LAX/CMB for the heck of it, and it went UP to 120K miles!

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will soon start flying a Boeing 787 Dreamliner for its three weekly flights between Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).
The change, which begins late this year, will mark MSP’s first regularly scheduled 787 service.

Fortunately, you have several months (since you're in the northern hemisphere) to prepare for winter by finding a witch who will let you fondle her bosom to facilitate future comparisons.

Guy used refundable ticket for 300 days of Lounge dinner, and in the end gets his refund:
This was a 332, as I recall.

Kenmore Air floatplane trip from Seattle to Victoria BC aboard a 1954 DeHavilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver
gotta say, riding in the copilot's seat is pretty awesome
