Even if you have to call, the shuttle is never more than 5 mins away. I don't recall if you have to call them or not. Might as well input their numero into your mobile, and just call when stepping off teh plane.

I had to call. The shuttle was driving people to the casino at the time, so I had to wait about 10-15 minutes.

Excuse me while I run down the street to buy my winning Powerball and MegaMillions tickets. :-:

There were 3 empty seats on DEN-GEG and a PremX in the back. I wanted to call shenanigans.

Oh, and I got to listen to a DEN RCC Matron kvetch to a passenger about how she'll never get to sit in F again. It took all my self-control not to snap "some of us pay for our F seats." :D

If people don't want to pay the bag fees then they won't fly NK.

I wandered in the M&M forum and was reading about the YQ issues that LH may be creating for themselves... Interesting stuff.

You are most welcome! Thank you for taking some of the wine off our hands. :)

Agreed; I've never taken our d:rolleyes:g to a park but I did take him out into the bushes away from the apartments we've lived in. And now that we have the house, the back yard is his poop throne.

I did a couple same day turns in JAN and FEB. AI I think I paid about $205. I booked mine on Wednesdays. Better chance for an upgrade it seemed. Let me know if you book some. If I am off I will go with you.

UA rules are creeping over to CO. If I overnight in SNA, I can come home SNA-IAH-AUS-EWR-PHL. I'm crazy enough to try that. Will let you know what I book; this time I'm not cancelling. :rolleyes:

Not sure. I know XA is the prefix for aircraft registration in Mexico.

Edit: Beaten like a lazy burro.

That's the one.

Hmmm. BWI and PHL are cheap for Memorial Day. May do a D.C./Philly combo. New Le Meridien in Philly is dirt cheap that weekend, and Teh Fairfax is also reasonably priced.
