The good news, UA replaced the seats on the domestic 763 I flew today. The bad news, they are still cramped. A 76 should not be 2-2-2 up front.

I'm wondering how chase is going to handle my acct as I have both the CO and the UA card.

And since we're at the 14-day mark today, I feel like it's time to pull the trigger because, short of it being a weekend special (I *could* technically leave Saturday morning and return Monday morning), it's not going to get any better...

I'm upset enough about what the merger potentially has in store for CLE, especially if fares are already this ridiculous. I could save almost $200 by taking the same leg to CLE and adding on a CLE-CMH segment. Too bad I don't have the time to get there and back for no reason. Insane. :mad:

With respect to livery, I think the very best we can hope for is for the United tulip to change from white to gold on the tails of New UA, to incorporate the "golden" aspects of the CO brand. But even under such a best case scenario, that (and the CO BF flat bed seats that have already been installed on the 777/757 fleets - the 767 fleet will likely never get the CO bed, opting for the UA bed instead) would be about all that would visibly remain of Continental Airlines 12-18 months after the merger closed.

So I go out for a pack of cigarettes, take a wrong turn, get a little lost, and when I get home the damned airline is merging. Certainly, I've been away far too long.

Greetings from Shanghai. Flight over was uneventful. I am still awake for drinking those expressos they have on the 777s.
I had forgotten Facebook is bl:rolleyes:ked in china, so no updates for 10 days :eek:

That's "Post Like US IT Day." For a while, US's website didn't work on any Mac browser, making it impossible to buy a ticket from them without either paying $30 or owning a PC.

BTW, I finished the Mondavi book. Thanks for the recommendation. ^

Airfares between PHL and CLE are always :rolleyes:. (EWR is often, but not always, a little better.) The merger will probably make things worse in the short run (US will almost certainly increase fares further if ConUniHound drops PHL-CLE) but perhaps better in the long run if FL or WN adds the route from CLE or CAK.

Have you thought about LGA-CAK on FL? That, unfortunately, is probably your best bet. (A random booking for 5/14-5/16 turns up a fare of $207.) Sometimes UA has weekend fares PHL-IAD-CLE but the times never seem to work out for me.
