Morning, Box. Some schmuck decided to end a wedding at midnight. Craziest night rush I've seen in my time at this job.

No, but you will have access to the AM lounge in MEX if you're in Clase Ejecutiva. And remember, the bartender there will likely force you to take a tequila shot. ;)

Hope we get upgrade but if not will se other lounges!!

Ask at the RCC or at the gate for a "better seat." Prior that you have no chance.

No. But the BPs still print it that way because their systems didn't update so good. I've got four BPs here that all say STE+ and I got the upgrades anyways.

W:eek::Dt!

YEa on BPS and blankets.

The PTY PC agents are good at proper waitlist placement. Don't trust any other agents to do it properly.

Is that the same Matt's brewery from upstate NY with a new partner?

The F. X. Matt brewery is a fun tour if you're upstate. They used to brew a bunch of random local stuff in addition to the Saranac brews.

Are you guilty of emptying all of those cups and stacking them as you went?? :D

That stack was all the guys at my table. The beers are $20/6 and then some of the folks got extra tokens somehow. There was much, much beer consumed.

For those coming on the trip next weekend, I have many inside tips for our trip. Getting to the hotel from our arrival area is not the easiest but information learned tonight and ready for next weekend. I will be putting in for upgrades when I check out today for next weekend!!

That was a great picture. ^

G'day box.

Woke up this morning to find my cold is still holding on strong. :rolleyes::mad:

Received a text message from teh Canuck a little while ago that simply said "I hate USAir." Apparently she checked-in online last night and paid for her bag. When she went to the Mr. Chicken this morning it charged her for her bag, again. She showed an agent her receipt for her bag check. Agent called the Tempe hotline who basically said Canuck had to pay twice. :rolleyes:

For all the Coupon Connection elite in teh Box: what's a fair trade for 2 PClub access certs for HHonors points?

Was over at Wikipedia gaining info about the Mexico City Airport Terminal and say the following information that I thought a certain Otter would be interested in!

On September 13, 2009, Lufthansa Cargo McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 D-ALCO was severely damaged in a heavy landing. Post landing inspection revealed that there were wrinkles in the fuselage skin and the nose gear was bent. It is reported that the aircraft may be written off.[

Morning Box. I feel like I have a hang over but I did no drinking yesterday.:( Stupid allergies.

I still thing the Brits are weird. I'm seeing in my Flickr updates photos of motor sport journalist getting their legs waxed in the name of charity. This time it's for Haitian relief instead of the usual Children In Need. At least they were waxing down :eek:

Just think on the good side, you know you won't have to do that any more and you can use lessons learned to help get that extra diamond.

The reason that Matt's came to mind for me was that it was the brew served on a small airline that serviced NYC to various upstate NYS destinations.

Its name was Empire Airlines, it flew two-class F-100s, and was bought by PanAm sometime in the early 80s. I was working in ROC at the time and was delighted that I could earn PA FF miles. The PA miles were never used and were transferred to DL where they survived as legacy miles and were extremely useful before DL changed the rules. :td:
