Do you fly this route alot? Are Saturdays or Sundays generally less crowded? When am I more likely to have an empty seat next to me?

Sorry to say, I don't fly the route often enough to give you any advice. I only go to Europe when a trade show beckons, not for regular customer travel. Last year, I went to Nuremberg, Dusseldorf and Birmingham, UK; the year it will be Brussels, Paris, Birmingham and Manchester.
There is a break on Saturday night stays, so the Saturday flight may be more crowded. Sunday may be crowded for people who want to get started at work promptly on Mon morning. So, my deduction is that Mon-Thu have less traffic than Fri-Sun. But this is complete speculation.

Continuing the AA challenge confusion.. I have a few questions:
I understand how the point system works, but how long do I have to meet this challenge.. i.e. the rest of 2002?
If so am I only gold/plat for 2002 and NOT 2003?
I take it you can NOT qualify by segments on AA?
I have less than 5K in my AA account, would I be better off signing up from scratch for a whole new FF account and taking any sign up bonuses?

Re: Time to complete the challenge - 90 days (some say 3 months)
Re: How long will status last - Tricky. Sign up for challenge to START on 1st or 16th of any month. STARTS from 01Jan-01Jun will only get you status for rest of year (Feb03 expiration). STARTS from 16Jun-16Dec gets you status for rest of current yr plus next year (Feb04 expiration).. If you do both, you can do gold challenge now, then should wait to start Plat challenge on/after 16Jun02.
Re: Qualification - Only Q-points, not segments or miles. On any carrier on any fare that will earn status miles on AA (including all OneWorld Carriers exc BA x-Atlantic)
Re: FF Account - I don't know of any sign up bonuses, if u do, please let me know as I am starting 2 new accounts soon! Remember that ALL earned miles on AAdv (including bonuses, credit cards, stupid Kellogg's certificates, etc) add up for lifestime million mile (Gold) or 2 million mile (Plat) status, so unless you have only a few earned miles on AA, I would stick with one account. Mr Fish has only 1000 miles sitting in his AA acct, but lifetime well over 500,000.
I really don't know how to post a link (D'Oh) but try this: www.fewmiles.net/AA/index2.html When you get there, click on sitemap, it's a little weird to get around, but you'll catch on.
