You would get the VDB cert, get sent back to your origin, then just reschedule the trip for another day with your fare bucket available, so it would be a net positive w/r/t the voucher. You would then get the miles whenever you decided to fly on the original ticket.

He is on right now on the Travel channel here in SFO .

I like Bourdain.

Yeah , he does a good job with local culture as well as restuarants.

Wow I actually found something useful in my AFWD email today - CLE-SNA for $237 with one night stay. NW is matching, for those of you redtailers.

Likewise. I saw a recent one where he enjoyed a bedouin BBQ in the Egyptian Desert. Made me wish I was there.

+1 - I haven't read the books yet, but they are on my wishlist.

I've only read A Cook's Tour, but it was a fun read.

He did a show in Argentina , that was pretty cool , and one from Spain in Basque country ^

Scratch that, it was a FareCompare alert. Still nice though!

So true. Small town airport TSA people usually have an overly inflated sense of self-importance in my experience. Much more so than those working larger airports. There used to be a couple of them at TYR who had the same attitude.

I also love how these small airports will usually have a local police officer or sheffiff's deputy who feels a need to be very involved in the security screening process, even though this person is not a TSA employee. BPT had one of those this morning as well, and he was asking to check boarding passes after the TSA boarding pass/ID check. I'm telling you, I felt SO much safer because a Jefferson County Sherriff Deputy checked my boarding pass. Doesn't that make you feel safer too? :rolleyes:

Has it been said that the Sat. night portion of the Do is taking place in a hangar? Potentially valuable clue that I came into possession of.

I want to get home!
 

:td: :td: :td: to ATL ATC that has held us on the ground at IAH for at least 30 minutes... Despite ATL having pretty decent weather. :rolleyes:

Did you just call? No e-mail?

Guess I should have done that.

Neither. It would be a full VS award for JFK-LHR. Turns out ANA has better inventory and lower mileage requirements.

I'm just torn if it's worth burning the MR points for it.
