Unless my flight's inbound arrives, deplanes, and we board in less than a minute, I'm entering my 7th flight delay of the day without leaving IAD. :rolleyes:

Hello Box. I'm knackered now. Thanks for a great weekend everyone. It was fun meeting new FT'ers as well as those I see on a regular basis. Special thanks to mnmag and the fabulous Mrs. xyzzy for all their help making the weekend the success that it was. Great pork loin by mackieman. So simple yet so tasty.

Congrats on the 10K^

10k posts is indeed a significant accomplishment.

My seventh IAD delay of the day suggests the flight's pushing in 13 minutes. No indication the inbound has landed as of yet.

Well if they can get this beeyotch out of here today, I can haz 777 F tomorrow morning. And I will be requesting ORC for mia-jfk-sfo.

What is the problem up there? Cascading weather delays from other areas?

The 2+ hours this morning of missing - but in the airport - FA broke my itinerary after 5 delays; would have spent the night in ORD involuntarily. This afternoon has been late inbound, crew change, and ??? (eighth delay just posted). Have now been at IAD 10.5+ hours.

I hope that works out for you - 777 F would be a welcome treat.

That's ridiculous. I assume you're dealing with Mesa?

Mesa this morning, ExpressJet now. Rather than publish another delay, we were still listed as "departing" 20 minutes before my BP was scanned.

In the EWR PClub, enjoying the LH widebodies passing like two ships in the night. The BA 777 is pushing now.

I had a great time with colpuck and FT Lurker on the boat this afternoon, though I am continually amazed at just how much I don't fit in around NYC. Ah well, the Peroni went down smooth. :D

LH is offering $1700 (1500 euro) to downgrade from J to Y (exit row) on their 1525 flight.

Sold.

I'm not on the flight but I'm looking directly at the beautiful A333. As a hypothetical, if I were on a saver award itinerary I would considered starting negotiations ...

I was on an LH A333 to Philly coming home from the Star Do. Pretty bird on the inside too.

The IAD LH Lounge is packed again for the 747 flight to FRA but I have a great seat and they just put out some excellent food.

Their Caesar salad and the butter chicken in the LH lounges are fantastic. I used those to wash down too much champagne.

I take it you are finally on board?
