Reserved seats, I picked row 6 on the outbound and row 7 on the return to be closer to the rest of you (assuming they don't give us a hard time about moving between cabins).

Error 500, it appears it is saving the passport information but the problem lies with the executive club # as it says it cannot confirm the # at this time.
Executive Club Number Not Eligible ;) |
BIZ outbound - window suite near the cockpit
PREM+ return - window exit row |
I don't have my confirmation email yet so don't know what I'm riding in, but would anyone find it useful if I added to the OP which cabin people are riding for which direction?

Montparnesse has no lounge. Etoile has a great lounge.The breakfast & evening spread are worth more than the extra 2K SPG points.

I note that the "edit passenger" actually did work despite the error 500; it saved most of the information and now seems to work. |

Thanks for the info about this - I'm seeing the Etoile as 16k points and Montparnasse at 10k per night -- is it possible to get the Etoile for only 12k?

Plats get free buffet breakfast at the LM Montparnasse.
When I was looking at LM Montparnasse earlier I was told no Lounge ,no breafast coupons. Than read your post in *Wood forum. The Plat Reservation called the hotel spoke to front desk manager, he saidno Breakfast coupons. He did say some rates they give breakfast coupons when neg. by companies. Not on award booking. Do you stay on award bookings when you get breakfast coupons? |
I don't think I have stayed there on an award. But I was not aware that I got breakfast coupons based on the SET code. They just hand them to me each time I stay there. <shrug>
I recall the first time I stayed after it became a Starwood hotel they told me it was due to Platinum status, but maybe things have changed since then. |

a visit to JFK terminal 5
since I've got time to kill @ JFK (especially if I don't go into midtown for lunch).... I'm planning a brief trip down memory lane to TWA Terminal 5. Though, I'm not really certain how feasible this is. (anyone have any ideas?)
TWA and this terminal are probably my biggest inspiration, with regard to commercial aviation. Come to think of it, my last flight to Paris was on TWA out of this terminal (747). I just loved the Ambassadors club in Terminal 5; especially the hidden elevator, and the awesome views. TWA Flight Center was the original name for the Eero Saarinen designed Terminal 5 at Idlewild Airport — later called John F. Kennedy International Airport — for Trans World Airlines. The terminal had a futuristic air; The interior had wide glass windows that opened onto parked TWA jets; departing passengers would walk to planes through round, red-carpeted tubes. It was a far different structure and form than Saarinen's design for the current main terminal of Washington Dulles International Airport, which utilized mobile lounges to take passengers to airplanes. Design of the terminal was awarded to Detroit-based Eero Saarinen and Associates. It was completed in 1962 and is the airport's most famous landmark (as well as being a National Historic Landmark). Gates in the terminal were close to the street and this made it difficult to create centralized ticketing and security checkpoints. This building was the first airline terminal to have closed circuit television, a central p/a system, baggage carousels, an electronic schedule board and precursors to the now ubiquitous baggage weigh-in scales. JFK was rare in the airport industry for having company owned and designed terminals; other airline terminals were built by Eastern Airlines and American Airlines. Individually branded terminals included the Worldport of Pan American World Airways and the Sundrome of National Airlines. Following American Airlines' buyout of TWA in 2001, Terminal 5 went out of service. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had proposed converting the main portion of the building into a restaurant and conference center, but some architectural critics opposed this move. In December 2005, JetBlue, which occupies the adjacent Terminal 6, began construction of an expanded terminal facility, which will utilize the front portion of Saarinen's Terminal 5 as an entry point. The peripheral air-side parts of Terminal 5 have been demolished to make space for a mostly new terminal, which will have 26 gates and is expected to be complete by 2008. The building is under restoration and expansion by JetBlue. Besides being well-known to JFK passengers and architectural buffs, it was also the site of filming of the Steven Spielberg movie Catch Me if You Can. |

By my count it's actually 13. I'm going through BoardingArea (I wasn't part of the 20), and stimpy isn't on the flight. There's a few reasons we don't know the other seven, IMO:
1. Maybe they're very infrequent posters (possibly even have zero posts), and just saw the announcement and sent an email. They might not even know about CommunityBuzz. 2. Maybe the offer was for 20 people, but that was already accounting for the expected buffer of no shows, so it's actually less in the end. 3. Maybe some don't like some of the rudeness in the other thread and don't feel like responding, which quite frankly I can't blame them for. |
I'm Biz out, Prem on the inbound. heffa, may be near you.
