Watertown Meetup Thread
Wow, everybody's still too busy trying to book tickets, I guess.
Somebody mentioned that perhaps it would be nice to coordinate the FTers travelling to and from LEB/ART/other places on the fare deal (and heck, maybe some are even staying in the area instead of immediately turning around
). I missed out on LEB, but I'll volunteer for ART.
Since these are 19 seat planes to/from PIT, the odds are very good that we will be running into each other! I'm on the following, on Labor Day weekend:
Friday 9/2 #4655 (arrives 10PM)
Saturday 9/3 #4650 (departs 6:30AM) connecting to LAX (US#1)
Sunday 9/4 #54 LAX-PIT, connecting on
Monday 9/5 #4651 (arrives 10:30AM)
#4652 (departs 12:50PM)
Anybody going to be sharing space with me? I'm, regrettably, in coach (didn't find that F deal others discussed), but still should be a great time!

No same day turnarounds from SAN.
We are in ART from 5:30 5/14 to 12:50 5/15. I may have bought the last ticket on this.
5204 EQM for $31.90. Times 2, as my wife is coming also.
Can someone figure the CPM on that for me?

For anybody who's interested in more information on the Watertown Airport:
http://archives.californiaaviation.o.../msg34226.html
Sounds charming. I'm currently attempting to figure out the best options for killing the 10PM-6AM time slot I've given myself for a layover.

June 3 SFO-PIT-ART arrive at 10 p.m.
June 5 ART-PIT-ORD-SFO depart 12:50 p.m.
Going to visit my folks in Syracuse!! They're thrilled, plus I bought them a couple RTs to Nashville and BWI.
Windwalker...I'll see you on our puddle jumper from PIT-ART.
I only eeked out one UA segment from ORD-SFO, but it's on a 777!

For folks info, a friend of my wife's lived near ART for a few years... her hubby was stationed at Fort Drum. I emailed her for info for all of us on the ART area... here's her response.
"Yes, there is a lot of hotels in Watertown. Arsenal Road is the Watertown exit and has all kinds of hotels and places to eat, including a mall! That is the ONLY thing in Watertown."
I wonder if this terminal is going to be more like the bus station at BLF or more of a real looking airport like BKW?
I've got one RT booked... weekend at IAH when the Pirates are at Houston, Aug 12-14. Going out of CRW on Fri Aug 12 CRW-PIT-ART then ART-PIT-CLT-IAH (booked in F), reverse on Sunday Aug 14. Got the first flights into ART on the 12th and last ones out on the 14th, so I avoided an overnight there, but I have the 2 hour layovers as they circle the plane around upstate NY. It was nice to get a confirmed F fare (6 segments, 4 in F) for $39.80 RT. That'll never happen again.
Only screwup we've made here is that we should have repeated this a few times to get to CP. ShellNYC pointed this out that the confirmed F fares do 2X EQM's, even on the seg's booked in Y when there's no F. So, we get almost 8K EQM out of this, not almost 4K (plus another 2K for the CRW-INT RT). Hindsight is 20-20. I could still try to book some of the transcons still listed on orbitz... would still take about 6 of them to make CP, as I don't see much more travel the rest of the year.

Will be in ART 5/6-5/7 after getting in early on the 6th from BWI-PIT and then leaving EARLY for PIT-DEN-SAN. Someone told me there is a nice cruise of the Thousand Island area - anyone tried it?
