I checked teh Guru: 51 seats lost if the swap is made -- 12/112 from 16/159.

Cargo could well be keeping it at 752, and high Y prices are a function of soft front cabin demand and of the scarcity of US-Peru seats on network carriers.

The only consistently cheap gateways to LIM are MIA/FLL. CO doesn't even bother discounting heavily from there, as (I suspect) it assumes price-conscious flyers will take a more direct option (AV, NK, LA, AA, TA, etc.), and mileage-conscious flyers will take CO for the miles and EUAs.

Exit, Stage Left
 

Dear Office,

Will the person who left their Diet Coke in the freezer please come to the kitchen to clean up the mess made by your exploded Coke-cicle.

Thank you.

Office person

I think it's a jumping-off point for ANC shenanigans...if I remember correctly? I believe he'll be the first of many of us (not including me :() to do that run...

Yes its the ANC run we are on the same flights.

What the :rolleyes:.

Looking at flights out to SFO at the end of June and there are flights where the seat map shows the entire F cabin open yet there are no B-ups. What the what.

For every flight that week I don't see one available M/B up, in either direction. :mad::mad::rolleyes:

Success! Moved to an earlier JNB-CPT flight and moved to a better routing home from JFK (on US :rolleyes:). For some reason, every time I make a chance to this itinerary, it takes them about 25-30 minutes to figure the taxes.

Hmmm. I may be in town this weekend (don't know until tonight). May have to provide a :rolleyes: car service. I believe Mackieman is in town this weekend, as well. :-:

I made over 10 changes to my HKG/PVG reward and it took them about 25 minutes each time to reissue the ticket :-:
