Don't worry; I'm sure they have you on a list, now. :-:

I'm so looking forward to my first pty-mex trip now that I've alerted CBP to the fact I'm a not a good driver

They only let him slip a-away
Out of kindness I suppose"

I randomly picked 4/22-26. Using the 30-day search on co.com (I suppose ITA would work, too) brings up a decent number of days in the S fare needed for the best price.

ETA: Looks like Friday-Monday trips are ~$20 more, and the fare goes into at least the first weekend of May.

I still think that the main reason I got through is I was a blundering idiot after getting 2 hours of sleep after my MEX-PTY-JFK flight and 3 hour drive to ALB! I think he looked at me and said, "..., this guy could never keep a straight story if he tried!"

I will test the system at 1:30 am next Monday and report back!

Did you ever get Global Entry ALCO?

I've been pulled for secondary once, on the way back from teh :rolleyes:moon. List of countries visited barely fit on the space provided. They were more curious that I had listed "painted ostrich egg" as one of the souvenir items I brought back, which was what triggered secondary at customs. CBP employees at secondary were busy talking to themselves, and never even glanced at their monitor when our bags went through the x-ray. We were waived through in under a minute.

Canada is sending reinforcements. The sun came out for about 20 minutes and tried to use its natural deicing, but was rebuffed rather quickly.

Anybody know if you can SDC to code-share flights?

I know you can't SDC from, but I'm not sure about going to codeshare flights.

I think Alaska and Serberia have decided to ally with Canada in this invasion, we Texans here are getting overwhelmed :D
bah I am going to lose a fence today, there is an IDIOT revving his engine and purposely sliding all over the road and grass out here right now. Maybe I need to go put a stop to that.

I was once send to secondary customs in HNL. Mom and I had just returned from a weekend trip to BKK. We didn't really buy anything but yet there we were standing with our bags opened for inspection for over 2 hours. The funny part was that I worked in the customs area for CO at the time and knew the people there pretty well, except for the idiot going thru our bags.

The inspector was just about to empty my toothpaste tube when the head of customs walked over and told the guy to go to lunch asap and apologized for the rough inspection.

Looks like I may take advantage of this... ^ (it's available in March as well).

Wish the ORD routings worked.

ETA: Upon playing with this, it appears that the UA mainline segments book into Y even though there are seats open.

Good morning box.

Trenitalia decided to have a wildcat strike during our honeymoon when we were going from Cannes to Olten, Switzerland (where I was a foreign exchange student). The morons stopped the train between stations and we suffered - no AC and windows that do not open. I was not impressed.

ORD is not possible, even for SAT/OKC/TUL/OMA originations (Wyoming's on sale in F for much of the Midwest/Southwest/West)

BTW, If you have been trying to PM lately, I cleared out my BOX!
