This is valid, until LH will buy BMI.

I picked the later arrival time to save some cash and do the daily tube card for GBP 8 (I think) that is valid starting at 9:30am (I think again). I'm not really sure what I'm going to do for the ~6 hours I have as I think the embassy is going to brush me off with all my luggage and my friend I was hoping to have lunch with will be out of town. If you decide to hang around let me know and we can figure out a place to meet. I've never been to LHR so it'll all be new to me.

LH already bought BMI. They own 80% of the carrier now.

All this talk about London has me itching for a return trip. :(

Yes, that's true, but the integration is still in progress.

You could say the same thing about HP and US. ;) Though I imagine that BD is already a much better airline than either of those.

Yeah, but the likelihood of HP and US ever being one airline are as good as Eastern and PanAm coming back from the dead to spawn a super-carrier to take on DL.

Interesting......I'd like to see EA and PA somehow come back to life as a mega-carrier. Maybe they could also bring TW into it too!

With all the netbook discussions yesterday, I too recently decided to get one. I opted for the Lenovo since I could walk into Circuit City and pick it up and the 10% off coupon helped.

I also liked the fact it had the 160GB drive in it.

I like it, the keyboard is taking a bit of getting used to. Sadly I opted to get rid of the Powerbook in favor of it. I barely used the PB and the netbook was a fraction of the cost so if I lose it or it gets taken at customs, not a huge loss.

I hear CC may go Ch. 7 BK by Friday if they can't find a buyer.

I had no idea IAH and HOU had de-icing equipment.

Yeah, but not enough to handle the snow when it happened. The delays that day were pretty bad.

I remember hearing about those delays. I hear IAH has 3 snow plows too.:rolleyes:
