FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Yep - Skype sometimes tries to change your dialing country based upon IP address but you can change back to U.S. in the country-selection dropdown (had to do this in AUA to speak with SkyTeam USA and Hyatt).

I've heard a rumor that they have some sort of Federal grant for drinking. Even with the plane ticket, it's cheaper than drinking in New York.

If you're looking for someone to call you, go here and click on "Click to Talk".

Somewhere I've already been (thanks to NW), MSN.

I must add that I've booked MSN's new Hyatt Place, which hasn't even opened yet ^

I had to use Starwood's online chat feature once. Had to make a followup phone call. :rolleyes:

In my experience, Starwood's online chat feature is only good for checking on SPG50 rates.

Heh, good luck with that. I hate those things, personally. I've never dealt with CO's chat service but most of the other chats I've been subjected to are staffed by the people who are too dumb to talk on the phone.

It is not a typing chat, it is a voice chat. Worked well once I held my head to the mic looking like an idiot had anyone seen me.

too much noise in DC for long chats.

It's a pre-requisite for selecting locations for academic conferences. My next three conference presentations:

MSY
BOS (well, "Cambridge")
MSN

I was in MSN two weekends ago. The airport bar closed at 19:00. :rolleyes:

And I challenge the fact that NYC is more expensive than MSN. On a semi-related note, our pre-PTY shananigii was a marked Papaya Dog #FAIL

Which bridge are you relegated to using now?

I didn't realize there was a diff in price depending on the bridge you use.

And here I went thinking that Lewis Black references would get picked up on as easily as those of Mitch Hedberg.
