The sad part of this story is the poor folks in CLE are the real losers. I can only imagine how much lost revenue the city has seen because I moved my own crate 2 hours after the deadline had passed for crate delivery and the teamsters had gone over their allotted break because their fried chicken delivery was late.

In my many years of flying I have yet to receive a VDB. Been close a handful of times, but thats about all.

I think I am, though I still don't see the point to it. Maybe i'm just missing it.

So, random poll. Cash out 200k CO miles for two VS UC rewards or transfer 126k from Amex into ANA club and redeem? It's a savings of 74k miles and it seems ANA has much better availability then CO.

I'm hoping for a bump on my AUS-PDX run but the loads aren't looking favorable. If I was to get a bump on the IAH-PDX segment I could do a trip in vain and just go straight back to AUS.

That's because I've been intentionally avoiding Chautauqua and any CRJ-x00 flight like the plague so far. I'm even planning on flying to LBB hours earlier than normal in two weeks to get on an ExpressJet ERJ rather than a Chautauqua CRJ.

Is the comp. for trip in vain larger than the expected VDB cert?

You'll have to fight me for it. I take it you've seen how full the back of the bus is?

There is no comp for trip in vain - they just send you back to your origin, but the full value of the ticket remains.

Restaurant modeled after the A380. The hospital ward one sounds interesting as well.
