I was in on the $39 intro offer, too, but I still didn't see the value of it.

I probably won't renew, only used the find me another flight option once

For the PTY Boxers have all yall gotten your miles after calling the OPSC?

Are you winded after that Multiquote session? Bet you need a nap

All mine posted correctly with no call to OPSC

I have to go buy a lawn mower. It's part of those costs you never think about when you buy a home.

Positioning flights booked for my GEG runs. EWR-MKE-MSP for $133 and MDW-LGA for $77. Same flights were $200+ and $100+ yesterday. :D

All three segments are new lines and YX is a new carrier, even if in name only. At least I get one E70 segment on them, plus an E75 on the MDW-LGA flight.

I still need to book mine. Are you going to abandon the last leg?

I am but only because I've got two more ORD-PHX-GEG-PHX-ORD runs on the following days. Not sure what time you're out of ORD; I'm on a 6am due to UA schedule changes and my desire to ensure mainline as much as possible versus CR7 "first" class seats.

Morning, Box. I feel like a zombie this morning, even with coffee. Guess I shouldn't have stayed up until 2:00 AM last night playing Airline Mogul.

Morning, Box. I kind of feel like a zombie as well, but it's more due to being at Panini's this morning for Kegs 'N Eggs at 0700. Nothing like a Guinness in a 22 oz glass to start the day. :)

Ok, there were two glasses... :rolleyes:

Top of the morning to everyone.

So thats what that is :mad:. Ive got a flight LHR-EWR on a 752 and someone already booked ABC in the reclining exit row. The other one is blocked? (not even there).

Why must it be so hard to find a competent DL reservations agent? :mad:

Morning, Box. So happy to see the sun shining.

Yes, there was a passenger in the seat in front of her. That other passenger seemed to get up every hour or so. On her way past she gave this w:rolleyes:man a very dirty look every time. I didn't hear any words exchanged, but clearly some had been.

:rolleyes:. that is all.

Ok, I feel better about the person I'm going to use to get rid of my tree. I was worried as I know from work never trust the lowest bid. They are no longer the low bid so that issue is gone. I almost laughed when I heard the new low bid.

I have a tree guy who is very good and very reasonable in his prices. He always comes in lower than everyone else, but does a really good job. He is in North Brunswick. If you want his name and number PM me.

She recommends a website called Undiscovered Scotland: The ultimate online guide.

Orkneys = cold. that is all.

Indeed. I cannot express enough just how great it is for trip planning and coordination, especially in situations like mine where multiple tickets, carriers, hotels, etc. are all in one itinerary. I've played with a few others but nothing comes close IMO, especially for free.

Can I use that on my Droid?

My wife likes that. Fair skin and Nordic heritage means a vacation in Egypt in the summer is more likely to result in her exploding in a ball of flames than having a good time.

It is just a website, so yes. There are also iPhone and BB apps and I'd guess that droid is either also available or in progress, but the mobile website version is pretty functional and is what I use most of the time on my BB.

Me thinks I could hit 7,000 today.
