The Hilton is very nice; but I'm only Gold with them. There is a new FI and Suites that my parents just stayed at last week and they said it was very nice so I think I'll just book a suite there - it's $100 less and I'm doing one night before going to Lincoln. I lived in Omaha for five years; it's really not that bad as long as you avoid Nov-April ;)
actually I did like Lincoln still have a few friends that live there |

I'm not sure what it was like around the time of acquisition. I distinctly recall seeing 747s at STL when I did HOU-STL on TWA back in the mid-90s.
ETA: Another point of geekery - landing at STL on the way to SAT was the first time I remember having been to someplace with parallel approaches. To see another TW MD-80something off the wing by a few thousand feet was freaky indeed at the time. |

Many people chuckle when they meet me in person and find out I really do like to have a good time instead of smack people with rulers when they get out of line. Ask CO1E about exploring IAH in the middle of the night.....

We were lucky to have made it out of the airport and back to the hotel.

I hope I never have the experience to let you know! But in Europe, they really do have some amazing properties. Nothing overly fancy, but nice none the less.

I'm glad I got a chance to ride on TWA before they vanished, even if it was only HOU-STL. I'm ticked that I never got a shot at PanAm. :(

My only TW experience was in 2000 - not even sure it could be called TW at that point, but the planes were still painted as such. TW has the distinction of being the airline that took me to and from my USAF training schools. PHL-STL-SAT and back for Basic Training, and PHL-STL-DFW with a prop leg on Eagle up to wonderful SPS for the Munitions Maintenance course.

I did the same route on TWA in Spring 2007. DC-9 both ways.

If it was in 2000 then it would have still been TWA. AA didn't acquire them until April 2001.

I would love to add another DC-3 trip to my stable, as well as a DC-4. Only 244 CAD for the roundtrip, as well.
