It's all about the 772 to CDG. :p

I think that price is about the best we're going to see though.

Yeah, I'm going to price IAH-CDG/BRU-EWR-CLE-IAH and see how different the price is.

CO152 (762) to CO56 (772) combined with your return routing comes to $689. A bit more money, but it should be more miles as well. You'd have to do the math to see if it's worth it.

It just hit me - if I hang out in Paris for the day before taking the Thalys up to BRU, where am I keeping my bags? :eek: I might need to rethink this one... An overnight in Paris may be in order unless I decide to just go from CDG right to the train station.

EWR-LHR(overnight)/LCY-ANR/BRU-EWR could be fun as well.

VLM has LCY-ANR on a Fokker 50 for $106.

EDIT: The overnight in London is not required if one can arrive at LHR at 6:45a and make it LCY in time for a 10:55a flight.

I'm in Des Moines. It's 0 degrees. I was in the Caribbean 2 days ago. Why, oh why did I ever come back??? :( On the positive side, I get to add another DC9 to my FM on the way back to BOS :) In F :):)

I left NYC this morning at 5am and it was ridiculously warm. Sadly it was colder in SF when I got here than NYC when I left. This is just wrong.

Anyone looking to add a 744 to their logs? According to a.nut, DL will swap the two 764s on ATL-HNL with a 744 in April.

No, I've cut back. Save the calories and my liver. I had one bloody mary at the ATL PC and after that it's been non-alcoholic.

On the ground at IAH now, and have been for about an hour. I've had my fill of tacos at Pappasitos and am now in one of the C PCs. Headed to B fairly soon to pick up a boarding pass for my new IAH-BTR flight, which is scheduled to get to BTR around 11:00.
