I use this all the time. Never had a problem.

The other fun part of S. Florida flights is the healing nature of the flights. Many people board with a wheelchair and miraculously walk off the plane.

On a somewhat different note, Go Gators!!

Big win tonight in the SEC Championship game. Looks like I'll be trying for tickets and then flight to MIA in January.

I'm done.

Emperor's Club VIP :D

I just got home from JFK
VS flight was great , the 747 was filled in all cabins
I was upstairs but spent a good amount of time at the bar downstairs.

I think she was Emperor's Club Silver Elite. Looked a little... uhm... tired.

She did however have 2 bloody mary's on the 9am flight. :eek:

How are DL's BE seats on the 772ER? CO offered me seats on a NW 333 from BKK-NRT and then a DL 772ER from NRT-JFK. I have a feeling the seats (and service) won't compare to the KE option I have right now, but it would at least give us something on the same flights.

Am I correct in assuming that a combo of KE, NW and DL will price in at the same 120k mileage level (assuming SaverPass availability)? Or is WBC more expensive?

I truly don't know why we decorate at all - we're not home and we are always in FLL. What's the point of dressing up a house that you're not occupying at the time?

The only thing we put up is a wreath hanging on the door. The funny thing is our neighborhood wins the decoration contest every year, you can prob see it from the sky bc the houses are outlined with lightblubs. Then you look down the cul-d-sac where we live and it is like a black hole, it looks like nothing is built there.

I am half way done with my MR. Need to pass 3 hrs here in SMF, good thing they have free wifi.

A bit of advice for some in the box. Play nice in other peoples sand box. I don't think they enjoy the box's empire building unless you're trying to join FCTSTY.

mmmm That gives me a new line from LHR to Halifax, NS to EWR on VS. :)

The 2-gigabyte flash drive is $5.99.

Here is the entire selection of flash drives from which you may choose.

You can also order on-line via the Internet at http://microcenter.com if you prefer.


It is quite a nice store I might add. I try to go here when possible and aviod Best Buy. It is in the good/ok section of paterson, so no need to feel unsafe. Easy access from I-80 and NJ-4 onto NJ-20/McLean Blvd

Been there a while now...months at least.

Bah. Looks like I'll miss an upgrade on my flight back to NY tomorrow a.m.

Will be the first time all year I've missed an upgrade on flight between NY and FL (that I can remember). Poo.

Interesting. Have you been an elite before this year? Perhaps this is something that is target by previous Elite Qualification?

You are closer by miles but I am closer by points. So I dont think that is a reason for the difference.
