sorry to dissapoint.. i'm not going to make it either unfortunately..

I had to cancel this res. a while back not sure if I was going to get time off work.. I regret it now

Funny how NWA.com still shows my reservation ...ofc w/ no e-ticket listed anymore but I can still see all the flights and change seat assigntments...is that a normal thing for cancelled reservations w/ NWA?

Happy travels and Happy Easter*

Regards,
Chris

Not at the airport. None of the machines accept Euros, only Romanian lei. A can of beer from the vending machines costs 5 lei, the same as a Coke. I could not find any cambio/exchange booths open at 1am. The KLM contract lounge in BUH is very nice. Many, many varieties of drinks and some decent pastry-type things, plus a bank of maybe 4-5 computer stations with free Internet access. Definitely worth going there ASAP if you're overnighting in the airport. Not that anyone would do such a thing...

It appears I will be taking the two late-summer trips I booked, so here are my itineraries:

21 Jul KL0692 YYZ 6:05pm AMS 7:15am+1
22 Jul KL1143 AMS 9:55am OSL 11:40am
03 Aug KL1142 OSL 9:40am AMS 11:30am
03 Aug KL1359 AMS 1:05pm OTP 4:45pm
04 Aug KL1390 OTP 2:15pm AMS 4:10pm
05 Aug KL0691 AMS 1:40pm YYZ 3:35pm

30 Aug NW1503 YYZ 4:30pm DTW 5:51pm
30 Aug NW0054 DTW 7:10pm AMS 9:00am+1
06 Sep NW1359 AMS 1:00pm OTP 4:40pm
06 Sep NW1360 OTP 5:40pm AMS 7:35pm
08 Sep NW0047 AMS 11:30am DTW 2:10pm
08 Sep NW5806 DTW 5:10pm YYZ 6:24pm

I might try to change my 6 Sep AMS-OTP to 2, 3 or 4 Sep when I get to AMS. I want to go to Brasov again, or maybe the Black Sea coast. But it depends on my luck with the KL agents.

I had to cancel my August trip. Too little time. I'm on the calendar on the following dates: August 18, 25, and 28.

Glad to see so many others have taken advantage of this fare.

It has been a long time since I was on this thread. Turns out was decent timeing since there were a couple of updates to do and FourWheels was out of town. Did edits for Jeeves, YVR Cockroach and PaulMSN.

My second trip is coming up on May 12. This time I'm staying in AMS for the week instead of Romania. After the great time that I had in November it would be nice to do Romania again.
