I flew the short-lived CO EWR-STN flight about 9-10 years ago and all that I remember of it is the two and a half hour journey into London.

OTOH, I know that a same day turn is not usually your style. :)

Thanks for the warning, though in this case I was aware that STN is nowhere near actually being in London and I was planning on at least one night to visit some friends.

B6 Moderator Lurker, do you know if I signup now, can I get back credit for purchased flights (but not yet flown) including any bonuses (i.e. EML)?

Is it even worth it to signup in the end? :confused:

I think that may be the first time I've been called a lurker on FT. :eek:

You get credit based on being enrolled at the time of travel, not at the time of booking. Assuming you haven't flown the flights yet you'll get the credit when you fly them.

As for whether it is worthwhile, I think the answer is yes. The program really requires a bit of a commitment to get the best value from it (much like any other program) but the points don't expire as long as you fly once every 12 months and worst case is you find a partner to transfer/redeem with once that stuff comes online. I cannot think of a reason not to register.

When I saw them talking about that this morning I said the same thing to my wife...

I know of four.

Maybe we need to go get a quick temporary liquor license and setup shop as 'Temporary Irish Pub' so we can get in on the list, and be there for St Patrick's day.
That would be humorous to be open a couple days and be on the top list simply because there aren't 11 there...

If we don't there will just be a bunch of Bennigan's on the list. http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&...3&start=0&z=12

Aren't those Bennigans all closed?

If they are, all of us in the box could vote for a closed bennigans as the best and see how high we can put it up the list. :D

I have no idea... I don't think I've ever been to Bennigan's.

their website is open again, looks like they are reopening/reopened. wow...

In other words, if you don't do your arabesque or plié correctly, someone will drop kick you and then hand you some green tea.;)
