The planes have no bathrooms so you better make sure you go in DEN or MCI before you strap in for the 3 hour trip....after a Starbucks Venti, that's nearly impossible for me
Holy crap! Why would anyone go 2-stops DEN-MCI when you can fly mainline in a 757 (usually with great upgrade chances)? Surely you're not THAT desperate for segments!
