I know it's been said that the fleet plan might be out of date, but I thought I'd add that the 6 or 8 new 777's should be in there too. CO press release said 8 IIRC, but Boeing order book this week has 6.

Thanks for the reminder on this. I've just added the following:
If you have any suggestions for additional verbiage or edits, fire away.

The reason the Boeing order book only shows 6 new is that CO is believed to have taken over delivery slots of another carrier, so they aren't new orders to Boeing.

I also updated the FAQ to reflect that the 772 AVOD retrofit won't be complete until EoY '09 based on data that pptp provided.

While looking I noticed that the last 752 we tracked going in/out of retrofit was #140, due out on 2/12. Anyone have any insight on other 752s that may have gone in and or come out of retrofit?

Confirmed reservations
 

The topic is said to have come up on Continental before - but it is not found in either FAQ or FAQ development thread:

What does "Confirmed reservations" actually mean for elite members? And for non-status holders of economy tickets?

The Continental website:

http://www.continental.com/web/en-US.../services.aspx

states

What does then happen if a flight is sold out and in due time (48+ hours ahead) silver or higher elite members wish to buy full-fare economy tickets? Assuming that any expected cancellations and no-shows are already covered by overbooking and the only way to accommodate additional passengers is to involuntarily deny boarding to some holders of confirmed tickets?

NW WBC Upgrades
 

Do you think that information could be posted here on how one upgrades with OP miles a NWA economy TATL reservation on line. Is it possible or does one have to call the OPSC and do it over the phone? I have spent too much time looking for the answer on this site. Thanks.

We can work to add it to the FAQ, but in the meantime, I can answer the question. You must have purchased a Y or B fare on NW. To use your CO miles to upgrade you call CO and they process it. It cannot be done online.

There is more information here, among other places. I found that with a search for "upgrade tatl nw" and it was in the top 5 results.

Seth - VS ORD-LHR start showing as CO codeshare on 4/1/08. That should be mean earning CO bonuses and EQMs.

It would mean EQM earnings and high fare class bonuses, but not elite RDM bonuses.

Companion Upgrades
 

I think this is a good item to be added to "Companion Upgrades?"

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=802350

I have updated the FAQ to reflect all of these things. The Partner Upgrades post, covering Copa and NW/KL, is a new post at the end of the thread. The VS and Companion stuff has been integrated to the relevant extant posts. If there are any errors or mistakes please post it here and I'll get to it eventually.

On the aircraft fleet page, you can now put the 739ER seat map.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've added the link.

I also updated a whole bunch of stuff relative to the EUA/Battlefield upgrade process based on the info provided around post 290-310 in the PDA thread. Among the major updates to the EUA section, I removed the mention of the EUA cycles happening at midnight Central time each of the 5 days leading up to the flight. My experience has been that the EUA is now a 24/7 run, and that they do not run a special batch job at midnight anymore. If anyone has experience/evidence otherwise please let me know and I'll put that info back in the post.

I also updated the in-flight power post, though I'm not sure it is 100% complete.

Domestic Award travel info in FAQ
 

Hi,
I'd like to suggest a section on "domestic" stopover and open-jaw AWARD travel rules in the FAQ. Did I maybe miss it?? Here's part of the info I'd like to see: http://www.continental.com/web/en-US..._stopover.aspx

Thanks,
Phil

I looked through our thread listings and I don't think we have anything that covers these in there. Beyond making people aware of their existence is there anything else that should go into this post or some type of more comprehensive treatment of award travel?

I made two small updates to the FAQ: the current lack of BOS elite security lines and a small nuance about non-elites travelling with elites only being eligible for revups at the 2 hour window.

hey there...im new here...i have a lil silly question...im trying to book a flight LAX-CCS-SEA-BUR or just LAX-CCS-LAX...since ive been so loyal to CO, CM, RG and AF i usually dont fly any other and rarely B6 and VY...last feb. i booked a ticket to CCS with my miles but on the way back i had to reschedule for few more days cuz i decided to go to GIG...so i flew back with DL but because is a reward flight they dont give miles...now DL and AC have a good fare to CCS but loking through Continental.com i realized that flights with DL dont award Elite Points but yet they give elite miles...so i that case what happends with te points???? whats the difference??? thks
