JFK is a best time that you have flying from LHR-JFK-LHR or perhaps...if you want to take on LH from JFK-FRA-LCY. Whether you decide to choosing which a best airlines. I knows exactly what are you doing in IAD. Because Dulles Airport is too extremely overcrowded waits to get through at TSA checkpoints.
Oh I knew the risk of Dulles N830MH - all to well. This was a mistake fare that I grabbed and decided to mile for every mile I could get out of it.

When you can get 1600 miles for an extra $3, it's kind of hard to say no

This turned into mileage run material because of 1) the cost and 2) the benfit of the tag on legs. Positioning in and out was pretty good fun to be honest, and it's just the risk of any mileage run. The fact that I wrapped this up in a photo is besides the point

And besides - where are the fun in Non-stops? No room for mistakes happening, things that go bump in the night and missed connections.

Thanks N830MH

I'm glad you enjoyed it UA_Flyer. I spent a bit more time on looking outside than looking inside. The fact that I had excellent crews for all might flights helped me write this report positivity (unlike the mess that was Vancouver).

Thanks again - you don't know HOW many images I took to get to that point!

For this job I used Adobe Lightroom 3.0 to manage my image library (as well as to sort, organise, and pre-flight the images), and I used GIMP to do the layers in. I'm sure you can use Photoshop with Adobe Bridge more effectively to get a quicker result.

Lightroom has a lot of the developing stuff built in these days, so it makes my job easier when pre-flighting at checking images out, so I'd rather do my adjustments there, then send it out to another package for editing purposes.

Just shout. I've been told off for taking too little time off last year, and will probably be told the same again this year.

Thanks UA_Flyer
