Here I am in Budapest at the very moment; home of the cheapest OWE fare. Sitting atop the Castle hill overlooking the beautiful Danube and the city of Budapest, I am about to commense my first OWE trip in First class.

I am very glad to have decided to overnite here. The city is just too beautiful for me to just come and pick up the ticket! Besides, getting here was hard enough on *A. I was one of the victims of the UA mechanics problem now looming. My ORD-FRA was cancelled just 45 minutes before its scheduled departure. Later on, I learned that the second FRA flight would also be delayed due to "engine check". You can imagine the faces of the concierges at the first class lounge at ORD. They finally accommodated me on the last first class seat to LHR and on to MALEV to BUD. Glad I am finally here to move on. OW, here I come.

Silver san,
If you are reading this post, the new Four Seasons won't be ready for another two years. But given their locatin atop the hill and by the river, it sure will be the jewel of Budapest.
