! LH nonstop

Reasons:

• Don't have to deal with US
• Longer flight / better sleep via IAD (although it's relatively inconsequential)
• No chance of mis-connecting in BOS
• No need for terminal change in BOS (LH and US are in different terminals, right?) It's a huge PIA.
• Don't have to deal with US

! I would make the change:

! You are still on LH F, and not UA
! You do not have to (1) fly US and (2) change terminals at BOS
! You will likely get more sleep on the IAD-FRA (longer flight, leaves and arrives a bit later)

! I am not particularly interested in new lines or types, though.

Not playing along with "talk like CO IT" day.

I actually do many of the weekends without caffeine until making a cup or two of tea (or such) at brunch.

Weekends without caffeine is an unfathomable thought for me.

And one of my coffeemakers is indeed in the faculty lounge.

True.

At this rate those temporary concourses are going to outlive some other airport's "permanent" terminal and concourse facilities.

Another reason not to eat at PF Changs.

Doing a search on co.com for IAH-FLL. Search the nearest airport and co.com considers RSW and EYW "nearby" airports?!?!:confused::confused: Nearby in whose drug induced mind?:rolleyes:

! Your position, as well as Phudnik's, is the most logical. I really want that BOS-FRA line, but I really would like the extra sleep and overall better convenience that IAD-FRA would provide. I will give myself a bit of time to decide; that F seat ain't goin nowhere.

! I could route through BOS on the return, but the timing is inconvenient (and I would have to fly US again, of course :rolleyes:).

! And yes, I have done the terminal shuffle in BOS several times, with baggage; it thoroughly sucks.

I think the criteria that CO.com uses for nearby is 150 miles. Both EYW and RSW meet that criteria.

I do nearby searches for PHL and get all three WAS airports.

If you look at the map w/ Florida. You might as well include NAS.:rolleyes: 150 miles is not nearby, as far as I am concerned. More like 50-100 miles. If you consider PHL, then you would have to consider NYC airports, since they're about 90-100 miles away.:rolleyes:

! I'm not saying that it's right by any means, but that's what the site uses, at least as per the advanced booking screen.

! And yes, a nearby search for PHL does return LGA and EWR.

! ETA: New feature. Advanced Search used to have a checkbox of 150 miles or nothing at all. Now it's a dropdown menu with steps of range from 25 to 300 in 25-mile steps.

! self flagellation is a better option than no caffeine first thing in the am :eek:

! this is an excellent feature for planning MRs in my opinion ^ I select 300 miles -- after all, who cares where I end up :p
