Isn't that what we all have? :)

I've spent most of my evening searching for a weekend trip. US...Europe...Caribbean...I will take anything! So far, I'm not having much luck and the thought of not getting on a plane this weekend is killing me!

I'm going crazy sitting at home this week. I think I have a travel addiction or something, and this is what withdrawal feels like.

I think tomorrow I must take the computer and phone someplace else to "work" for at least part of the day.

Yep, Saucer has it on draft.

I know the withdrawal pangs. I didn't fly last weekend :eek:. Oh well, I have the following lined up for each of the next four weekends:

IAH-SLC-ATL-MSY-ATL-SLC-IAH
IAH-DFW-ATL-SLC-SEA-CVG-DFW-IAH
IAH-MSY-IAH
IAH-LAX-SFO-ORD-ATL-IAD-SFO-LAX-IAH

I think that should tide me over for a bit :D

One weekend and you feel the pain? You have no idea what it feels like. I'm now on my fifth week of no travel and I've pretty much lost all hope. I almost need a flight so bad that I'm willing to hop on WN and head to OMA just so I can remember what cabin pressurization feels like.

WN is not the answer. Hop an expensive last-minute Y fare to AMS, cheapen yourself in the red-light district, and get a grip on your life, man...

Sweet, sweet cabin recycled oxygen how I've missed thee.

See, this is where I'm at.

I would love to visit Spain. Unfortunately, there have been no mistake fares (in premium cabins) to Europe lately, and I have turned into a jaded cpm whore, (thanks to FT).

Man, between this and your signature line, you must be a basket case. Look, if your seat is down "that way," you are definitely sitting in the wrong part of the aircraft. The left turn upon boarding is key :D

This is in Y , but someone else payed for the ticket
so its basially 0 CPM and it could potentially bring me some new employment opportunities.

Meet you in ATH? ^

Yes, unless you're on a 777 or 764 with two jet bridges attached. Then you want to make the little turn in the jetway where the sign says "<- BusinessFirst; everyone else ->".

Oh wait, that's a left turn too.

I wish they would put some of those jetways in EWR, it makes boarding so much easier .

More accurate signage would read:

<------ Degenerates/Wastrels/Consultants :: Lumpen Proletariat ------>

Well this weekend I'm doing the MSY run as well, then Monday to TOL (yeah, I know, one of those Redneckistan airports) via ATL and DTW, then LBB, then back to LBB, then a week in England and Scotland via CO's BusinessFirst at the end of Feburary... So this is a very rare week for me.

I should hit the saucer and try out that beer. And they have free wi-fi, in case a client needs something. Anyone up for a spur of the moment micro-do Wednesday evening? :p

I'm finished at 7:30pm on Wednesdays, and would definitely be up for beer. I'll generally drink beer on any day that ends in a "y"

Mmm, Scotland...I need to get back. It has been nearly a year :eek:
