Desk lice: n, a subset of gate lice, this type parks themselves at the gate desk 30 minutes before people will show up to the desk.

ConciergeMike, FYI, that engineering firm we were all :mad: about for doing the "green layoff" (that's what it's called, I kid you not) will be shutting down and disappearing on May 12.

Right on about 60 days from when it happened.

Later, Box. Finish the pot of coffee and get thee to work. Wedding reception and a sold-out theater tonight. My driveway should be slammed. :-:

Their flights can be silly cheap. IIRC, my one-way XNA-LAX was $80a/i. LAS-LRD was similarly priced. The exit-row costs extra, but is well worth it.

I was reading in the LVRJ about MCCarran International Airport and two things stuck out for me:


The proposal to place a liquor store in the baggage claim area might seem like an attempt by McCarran International Airport's management to contribute to the roster of only-in-Vegas oddities, which already include Elvis weddings, celebrity pawnbrokers and hotel suites equipped with stripper poles.
After posting this I thought of something, I think SFOGate may be LASBag soon if this store does open!! I mean what better way to deal with customers and their delayed bags!!

Stupid me erased the origianl post and not a response!! UGH!!!


FYI - The HGI in Nashville/Franklin-Cool Springs is very modern and nice. it is a new offering from HGI, seems their rooms are being the two room suite concept. Also there was a firepir outside for fun!! And many of these are getting larger convention space depending on location.

$725 ^. I'm shocked at this amount. How oversold were they?

More is More. Good luck tomorrow.

Interesting that they went this high. 7 over isn't that bad unless no one was biting at a lower amount.

So are you doing the bump dance for any more flights today or just tomorrow?

There was no negotiation 725 is what they gave out. I think CO is the only one that does the bid thing.

Another interesting link here:

ROLOV and ALCO have within the last 24-48 hours been in the LAS airport and now they annouce the possible adding of a liquor store to baggage claim?? I think there is something to this timing!!

I've seen other airlines offer more when they don't get enough takers with their initial offer. It's been a while, though.
