Flight to EWR delayed 2 hours. :(

Open bar at the SKL. :D

As I walked in I ran into an old friend here. That was interesting, to say the least. Had a great chat and now waiting to be thrown out when they close this place down. I'll have to head to the regular RCC at that point, I suppose.

I think you will earn EQMs. Let me know what you book for the SMD2. I may join you.

Not anymore. Not EQMs on 2V operated segments since the *A move.

Why apply new and transfer? Why not just downgrade the Platinum?

I need to get my first year free card from Chase/CO and downgrade my PLT. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting the value from it but the 300K+ MR points I have need something to keep them functional.

There is a tornado watch for all of new york state until 8pm. Therefore they must delay the flights.

Yeah..I know why there is a delay; doesn't make me any happier about the fact that such exists.

Just had a shower here in the SKL. Nicer towels than the Koru club in SYD. The Koru was nice but I'm not so sure it is the best ever. Lot of space and decent food, but the couple snacks I had in the SKL there were better than the food I had in the Koru. Sadly the SKL here doesn't seem too keen on refilling the snack platters. Might have to resort to cup o' noodles.

QX over by 3, with 3 no-shows. Another QX victory.

Anyone heading over to ANC next weekend? I'll be there, departing IAH on Friday and return on Monday evening.

Yes. I am doing IAH-SEA-ANC-FAI-SCC-BRW-FAI-ANC-PDX-IAH next weekend. Depart Friday evening and return Sunday early am. If you are doing IAH-SEA-ANC, we should have at least one of those segments (SEA-ANC) together.

Can you route via JNB or CPT?

SQ 15 is now boarding. Apparently that is my hint to leave the SKL. :(

Hmmmm... FareCompare claims IAH-MEM is $203a/i on CO. That would make the MEM-SMF B fare positioning reasonable. :-:
