MEX Centurion Lounge is velly nice. They have Bacardi Anejo and Solara (and the overall best selection of liquor I've seen at any lounge worldwide), lots of flatscreens, upstairs dining area, great furnishings, Xbox 360, and nice little cabanas off to the side (think Poolside cabanas at a W).

They really are nice bar/rest areas. The one in the Copa terminal has a nice upper deck before the ultra exclusive area in the back.

I peeked in there. I think the rest of the lounge is actually nicer than the actual Centurion portion.

Looks like I missed out on teh BOS-PHL-BRU fare. Cheap enough that I wouldn't have minded flying US.

All for 100s less than CLE - NYC - CLE. :mad:

Too bad WN doesn't operate CLE-LGA.

Yeah, then suddenly the $1000 airfares on DL, AA and CO would drop like a hot potato.

I do not mind the drive to CAK, but have a hard time justifying it for the morning flight that departs at 0650. That makes for a very very long day.

And yes, Airtran, I will be more than happy to take advantage of your $49 buy up. ^^

That has to be a route they have their eye on. WN would no doubt love the opportunity to poke its finger in the eye of those three.

What's the price/hassle if you do CLE-BWI/MDW-LGA with WN? Is it comparable to the CAK drive?

I'm going to start a thread about my conspiracy theory that the PC really does buy 2 ply, but they have someone reroll it into two rolls of 1 ply.@:-) You can save 43% of your TP costs by doing that.

Yeah, I agree. It is stunning to see airfares jumping as high as there are to NYC. It is no wonder the first CLE-PHL US flight of the day is full of people connecting to BOS and NYC and why the CAK parking lot has a lot of cars with 18 tags (the code for Cuyahoga County).

The timing and hassle make WN a second choice. If I am going to connect, I use US.

ssullivan got me on teh WN bandwagon. I have to say... for domestic (and especially intra-TX) flying, it is very convenient. I also like grabbing new lines out of Hobby and Love Field. I don't know if I will continue with the experiment after I earn my free RR flight, but it has been pleasant so far.

It is my airline of choice to CHI if I have business in the Loop. I would much rather take the Orange Line from MDW then deal with ORD.

Good afternoon box, as I was heading home from Hoboken today I saw TAP on final approach to EWR, good to see some flights making their way over here.

Anglo Large Clawed Otter Apr 18, 2010 12:41 pm
