I see you are a big Orioles fan, I didn't know that about you.

I feel like starting a new thread for when Conuni starts operations asking if their new BoBus A838's can charge my car battery and have HDMI connections so I can watch my HDTV on board.

CAVS - tight game but bring on the Celtics!

I've decided on the sequel to the UGS-captioned picture of my daughter...

Next time I'm at the airport with her, I'm going to get a picture of her standing on a red carpet (or blue carpet, depending on which color ConUnental adopts) holding a 1K boarding pass.

If any Boxers play games like Civilization in their spare time, you can get the entire Civ IV package (game + all expansions) for $10 through the end of the week:

I love opening E-mails from Corp. TAs :rolleyes:
For my trip to N.C. in June, I could have taken CO left in the morning, delivered my lecture at lunch and caught an afternoon flight back to CLE...
Nah!!!!

Lets put me on a US flight to PHL and then connect to my final destination the night before and put me up in a hotel. Then after my lecture, send me back through Charlotte on US. I can imagine that this saved the client $50 on the plane fare, but of course they have to put me up in a hotel and feed me. Sigh
They didn't even bother to ask me what I thought about the trip. This is why I try to book all my own travel. I almost always do a better job and save the client money to boot.

Good night box

On the news tonight she said that something to the effect that they might be too late to keep the HDQ in Houston :(

Avoid anything on the menu that's touted as a Charlie Trotter creation, unless you want to spend your first few days in HKG seated over porcelain. :-:

I can honestly say that I have had better food in Y on CO flying to HKG than F on UA :eek:

There were three chicken options and one fish option. They were able to get me a steak from C that was ice cold in the center. :td:

All I had was a salad and fruit before landing,

Relax... chill... there are 162 games in a season (IMO, 62 games too many - and don't get me started on the popularity contest... err.. the All-Star game). I'm sure they'll beat the Orioles one day soon.

A real embarrassment would be the Lakers or Cavs losing to the Nets.

Did you buy 2A, use reward tix, or B/Y up + miles? I am waitlisted and I am scared to death I might have to ride in coach -- :eek: :eek: :eek:

SaverPass First/Business mixed reward. 135K miles. The man in 1A had no problem letting everyone know he paid $20K :rolleyes: for his ticket. LHR-ORD-HKG-SIN-Perth (sorry, I don't know the code)

On the 744 or 763, the seat is supposedly great. Don't expect much from the food or service, though.

This is 100% true.

I hate to say it but dbaggery is fairly common to UA premium cabins.
