Only a 300 TCV, and 16 in meal voucher. Also confirmed F seat on the flight that I'm taking. Although I'm starting to think that 7 hour delay (well, now 6 hours left) is worth more than 300... The gate agent commented that CO has been trying to pay less for VDBs, both domestic and intl.

I usually take what I can get after a gentle attempt to push higher. Confirmed F and $300 seems okay - what is your destination?

Is $300 still looking good to you now?

On a side note, I tried to get on an earlier flight, but was told that flight already has 15 standby's.

I did ask about that, and the gate agents said that they're not allowed to. They did say that they would like to, to introduce people to the Pclub product, but management would like to maintain the "integrity" of the club

I got to see the new terminal for the first time last week - pretty snazzy, but not 6 hours worth of snazzy. But it would be fun thinking of ways to spend that free $300 worth of flying!
If you are thinking about the Alps, I might suggest flying in to MUC and taking the 2 hour ride train down to Kitzbuhel, which is a great little mountain town and a lot less touristy. Then again, flying in to INN would be fun if it is possible on codeshare.

When I have a long wait in Term E, I usually hang out by Brookstone and sit in the message chair.. I tell ya, that sure feels nice after/before another flight.. course dealing with the high pressure sales people is kinda lame but you still get a free message out of it
Papadeaux also has free wireless if you know the code..
