Nein. I have to fly to FRA to find a taxi driver that speaks English. :rolleyes: Plus German and English have a ton of similarities. If you think you know what a word means, there's a good chance you're pretty close*.

MUC is a great EU airport and furthers the proof that FRA is in a perpetual state of :rolleyes:.




*Except for fahrt. That means drive/journey. :o

If you do it, I'll bring an easy-bake oven on board and make muffins.

Speaking of German, if you haven't checked the updated "thinking" link in my sig. block, now might be a good time to do it. :rolleyes:

That was the oddest response I have ever seen, totally non-responsive. Will some one please explain to me how US airways stays in business? It is just all barclays right?

Actually, I think they are going to a "dicks last resort" business model.

Business consequences do not exist in the aviation business. Seriously.

Just like if you were living in CA.

C gets to try/play with the new seats. And no, if I go, I'll be in Y.

If I end up going, I'm thinking about C on the EWR-FRA segment and Y for the charter flights.

Y on LH is worse than Y on CO.

Just an FYI so you can choose wisely, grasshopper.
