The sick humor of the Box on a daily basis will be magnified when we're all together. This party flight will likely be four hours of the most fun I can recall having on an airplane.

Whataburger - open 24 hours (dining room open certain hours). After 10:30pm on Friday, I can go!

Nicely said buy someone who's more likely be up front. Maybe I'll try and get row 5 at OLCI and heckle you from the other side of the bulkhead. No wait, you'll tease me with real food as I eat a chicken hockey puck with mustard.

Wow, a lot of people have booked onto the party flight in the past couple of days. 8 window seat available an no aisle seats in Y.

I'm telling you guys, those PHL-IAH and IAH-PHL flights are tricky when it comes to upgrades. I'd say they are just as deceptive as the EWR-IAH 762 upgrades! I've received +5 days and battlefields but I have also been #11 on the list as a Plat. I have never received a companion upgrade on an afternoon/evening flight.

Of course, the above goes out the window when early morning flights come in to play. Even a Silver could get those upgrades...

I dare not call anything onboard a domestic aircraft real food...the Terminal C cheesesteak guy is a better bet.

If I had a good reason to depart at 6am I would have. I love how dead Terminal D is at that hour.

The few times I have had to leave that early, I was far too tired to even notice. :D

Flights before 8am are torture.

You mean the special preview of the chicken burrito I had on the flight to the last DO wasn't a real meal? ;)

I love early flights - I reason away the pain and suffering by getting maximum time at the (leisure) destination.

I consider 8AM flights to be late,sadly. I don't miss the old routine of getting up at 4 AM, driving to EWR, parking, getting off the Airtrain, going through security, grabbing a crappy bagal w/ fake egg and cheese and a bland coffee at the place across from C102 and then rushing down to the dungeon called C-114/115.

Heads up folks - it seems like tickets that are held for cash payments are being canceled after 24 hrs, not at 00:00 central time.

Thanks to CO Support for pulling back my fare, which doubled overnight.

I'm watching the 1987 version of Dragnet because I'm not tired, and I checked the tail numbers from the final scene. The LearJet that Christopher Plummer's evil priest is "flying" is one of Clay Lacy's famous Lears, while the T-38's tail number does check out to be a real T-38 that's listed as an exhibition bird.

Enough snow down here in the South Jersey boondocks that it's deep enough to hold footprints...been a while for that around here.

I just drove home in an inch of sleet in central/west texas!

Hard to see tire tracks from the car in front of me it was coming in so fast still.
