While that is certainly true, the amount of time it takes to do that and be funny is more than I have available given my upcoming travel schedule, stuff to do at home, and this pesky thing called work.

Is. Not. Possible. At least, not with out unsanctioned PWP activities.

Perhaps we can schedule some PWP Power Hours next week. Also, there will be a ramp up in anticipation of 200k

Is there a question here? (Remind her that it will help her get status, although you do have at least one US flight in there!)

It's a reward ticket so no miles and PHX-AUS is in Y on a CR9. :td:

I have put my in-laws on that flight. Avoid it.

I know many here are not the biggest fans of HH but there are some promotions that you might be interested in.

HYatt has a AA promtion through July 7, 2010 (I believe-date). Stay at Hyatt 5 times and get 25,000 AA points. Then you can transfer those to HH at 2 HH to 1 AA and 50K HH points. Also you still get the same free nights promo! Here is the link: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hilto...-per-stay.html

Also, there is talk that HH will soon announce that all airline and hotel partners will be given the chance to get 2X the points during Q3. So BMI whores (you know who you are) will get 2K per night in Q2!!

And then I got to play with the scanner gun. :D

Back in the SKL now for a Johnnie Black and trying to get my international data plan active. VZW is half closed; this should be interesting. Only 30 or so minutes until boarding. And I actually got a competent agent. Only 7:30 total on the phone and I'm all set. I love it when a plan comes together.

Time for another drink...

Thanks for paying me a visit. Isn't the scanner gun a cool toy, I mean tool. :D

So, were I to check a bag for AUS - EWR and then not pick it up immediately when I land (since I'll be having drinks with sfogate in the PClub most likely), will they take my bag off and store it in the baggage office or will I have to go through :rolleyes: to get it back?

I have a work trip tacked onto the Soccer DO and I dunno if I can make everything fit in my carry on. Sigh.

Got the blocked row of 4 and a very polite and apologetic INP on the opup.

Our departure is artificially delayed to allow for arrival afer the curfew lifts at 6am. We have to take off late in order to arrive on time. Go figure.

Hopefully things got better after the door shut. :)

Maybe I'm a philistine, but I think one should get Evangelist on Box Appreciation Day. :-:

The line between savantism and genius is not clearly defined. Fun to watch either, but not necessarily to have in a companion or friend. On the other hand, someone like Oscar Wilde (at customs: "I have nothing to declare but my genius") is likely tolerable.

And speaking of those UA pilots, that's hilarious about WN bribing the ATC'ers.

So, a little more than a week out and my UA flights in Y still have no one in the bulkhead rows with me. Fingers, toes, and anything else I got are crossed. :o

That's what I think he was talking about, but I could be wrong. Happened twice today already.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 12:46 am.
