can't wait to touch down in MCO, then drive down to Port St. Lucie.

I'm surprised you find bulkhead UA 752 comfortable. I'm less than an inch shorter than you (the Air Force always told me I was 6'2" -- DuPont yesterday confirmed me at 6'3 1/4" -- guess I can change my driver's license to 6'4" now), albeit considerably heavier. I thought the legroom sucked (for F), but I was in 1E on a 752 and 1A on an A320.

I'm the same height and - agreed - it works. One of the few times in my life where I don't mind being short. Average Y seats = not a bastion of comfort, but yeah, I can deal with it. I can't believe people with an entire foot on me can do the same...you poor things. :(

Did you miss the PHL-GEG for $141 ai last night? Yeah, so did I. I couldn't afford to lose the work momentum I was on so I tried to put tjtenor4 on the task...by the time he got to it, less than 45 minutes later, it was gone. Sigh.

I missed that, and I really want to go there too. It's on that list of destinations that I keep in mind for when I have a golf game that justifies the travel. All I want to do is play Coeur d'Alene. I just need to be there one night, that's it.

PHL-GEG would have been nice. That reminds me to xl the last of my ORD-GEG trips. Too much else to do... But 10+ schedule changes make it easy to xl...

BTW, the mobile site still stinks. Many forums are still missing from the menu :-(

I need to call for a tee time for my trip in April. I hope I have enough time to play with my flight schedule.

Good morning box, looks like the mobile site got updated.

Yeah, supposed to fix the phantom posts, I believe. So far so good for me. Plus it is a bit cleaner, and the reply box is full width which is nice.

Are you using m. or mobile.? The later is the one that got the good update. The former is better but still not fully functional.



Seats are in the shade now. Cooling off rapidly. Still a beautiful day out. I love the green of a baseball field.

Cool!^

IIRC, face value ranges from $15-$30. Whatever they are, they're pretty cheap...
