^ Thanks.

We're staying at the W New Orleans (FQ was sold out). Not planning on renting a car - is that a mistake? I haven't been in ... oh... 7 years. :eek:

Can't help on Montreal. I asked the Canuck and she PFFGH'ed. She isn't a fan of the Québécoise. :rolleyes:

The only truly great meal I've had in Montreal was at Moishe's. They cook up one helluva steak. There is also a restaurant called Pied au Couchon that is supposed to be phenomenal, but I haven't managed to get there yet. Lots of foie gras on that menu. :D

And have poutine. Your heart will hate you, but yummy.

Having been there, that place is beyond good.

Where is the icon for insanely and outrageously jealous when I need it??? :D

I actually had it booked once but CO decided not to offer the weekend fare to YUL that week so I had to cancel. :(

I can't believe I missed the mistake C fare to DEL. Did anyone else book it?

I missed it to. By the time I started looking it was already pulled. :(

The discussion in the new elite status threads over the past couple days really has been entertaining. I'm truly amazed that none of the people in there have been hired to run a loyalty program or airline. After all, their ideas are so simple and brilliant it is amazing that they haven't been implemented. :rolleyes:

That is a tough choice, I love MAD, but BCN has more culture and diversity
You will find great food and drinks at both places.
BCN is more of a hip and trendier city with boutique hotels and trendy restaurants. and lots of stuff to see in the gothic neighborhoods.
MAD is more of an older and larger elegant city .

Go for BCN this time

Since I know that the drink is as important to you as the food, these three places were mentioned today in a NYTimes article:

1 - Reservoir (9 DuLuth Est.; 514-849-7779; www.brasseriereservoir.ca) is a “chill microbrewery” with a good beer selection,

2 - Distillery (2047, Avenue Mont-Royal Est; 514-523-8166; www.pubdistillerie.com) is a “cool place with hipster appeal” where the drinks are “massive, strong and served in mason jars.”

3 - the microbrewery Brutopia (1219 Crescent Street; 514-393-9277; www.brutopia.net)

Anyone else having CO.com issues?

I ticketed my BRU DO flights and they show up on the .com as ticketed and confirmed but I never received a receipt or a confirmation.

Also, the Complimentary Elite Upgrade setting choices are missing from my IAH-EWR flight but show up for my EWR-CLE and CLE-IAH segments :confused:

Mother's - I would go for lunch rather than dinner as its not fancy but will not cost you a whole lot either. They are also known for their bloody mary's.

And don't miss the debris on French bread. :p

Ask monitor, if you need a restaurant suggestion in every city all over the world !! ^

I have been having email issues with co.com for the last few months. Most of the times I never get the email, every once in a while, I will. Though, interestingly, i've been seeing more paper receipts show up in the snail mail.

No idea about the confirmation email issues, but the upgrade settings thing is so intermittent that I don't worry about it. Maybe they'll fix it some day. In the mean time, I know that my default is On and that I have no intention of ever changing it, so I trust that things will work out correctly.

Coincidentally, in the last day or so there has been a thread started in the Delta forum complaining about the same thing. Some of the posters had not received the customary e-mail confirmations containing the ticket numbers and the price paid for the trip.
