Checked in by calling OpenSkies res number after having trouble with the OLCI yesterday.

Also, if any of you want an unmarked boarding pass for the inaugural flight tonight you should probably have BA print you two - one for the TSA to scribble on and the other to keep unmarked. Just a thought!

See you all at JFK this afternoon.

I am on my way out the door now.

I hope to see everybody in New York, and I hope there are no delays for me getting there from Atlanta through Charlotte.

Some change of plans for me.

I will be staying at Le Meridien Etoile on Friday and Hilton Orly on Saturday.

No luck with dinner table situation for Friday dinner.

See you all soon.

Arrived @ JFK ^^

Hanging out with my goldish Tumi bag (w/ FlyerTalk Tag) by the OpenSkies check-in (BA First/Club) area --- waiting for yyzprincess to arrive.

Very smooth morning, even though there was wicked traffic to Logan (Celtics Parade today) and had my daughter Adina along --- who was flying UM to CVG 20 minutes before my flight left for JFK.

It's all good!

I'm in the Terraces lounge ... by the bar (where else?); bowtie, orange-and-black bag, glass of wine but pretending still to be in the office. Will join anyone here for cocktails!

The boarding pass is entirely plain and computer-generated, but then again I was not expecting a Willy Wonka ticket, just a BP!

Weather looks lovely for our sojourn in Paris:
Tomorrow: Partly to mostly cloudy. High 73F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Tomorrow night: Mostly cloudy skies early will become partly cloudy late. Low 58F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Saturday: Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 79F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday: Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 50s.

I'm In the RCC

I tried to get into the BA lounge and it's a no go (lowly PREM+). Near the bar (surprise) on a Dell. Easy filght up and have a word document with my experiences so far.

Where are we supposed to post? Will there be a new OpenSkies section?

a big beautiful blue sky with LOTS of planes. Flow control into LGA delayed me an hour but I was able to stand by for an earlier flight, so it is a wash.

The LGA-JFK shuttle driver was the most aggressive bus driver I've ever seen, knew where to get off the expressway onto the side streets, then would hop back on !! but ^
