Did I dream that the LiveTV plane is doing the IAH - SMF routes?

I'm booked on a 739 on that route in a couple weeks. Any idea what the probability of winning that lottery will be?

I can't they are still going on about that. I gave up looking at it yesterday.

I said in my e-mail "Interested in F but reality I'll be in Y." I picked Y for cost reasons But then again since I'm going to win tonight's lottery then I'll change it to F arout 11:30 PM tonight (need 30 minutes to regain breath)

Just an FYI so you can choose wisely, grasshopper.

I didn't think that was possible but the photos I've seen in the past did seem less appealing.

Their IFE involves looking at their logo on a central LCD screens.
Their food service involves nothing edible.
Their pitch is 31" and their seats are very narrow. I'm not a big guy, but I affectionately refer to LH Y as the "one arse cheek seat."
The alignment of the seats with the pax service consoles are usually way off.

I think there's a video on youtube someone posted about the deplorable conditions of LH Y. It's like steerage.

:D I remember when that commercial came out originally. Good memories.

I'm almost certainly doing Y. Definitely for the tour flights and probably for the TATL, too. I also might try to hit up Boo Doo, but I'm not sure that I can swing that and the extended away time so hard to know right now.

It depends on whether it's a 744 or 346. If a 346 I'll probably do Y because I can handle it. Not so much on the 744.

Boeing Factory tour is cool but if your into WWI and WWII planes there is another museum then go to the Flying Heritage Collection (www.flyingheritage.com) on Boeing Field. You get a discount with your Boeing tour admission. Also there is a Smitsonian restoration center on Boeing Field with a small hanger of private and commercial aircraft in various states of restore. Admission is by donation. Here is the link to that facility: http://www.museumofflight.org/collec...ft-restoration. They are restoring a Dehavilland Comet there in Aero Mexico colors I believe. You get to walk through that one.

Nope, Flying Heritage Collection is Paul Allen's private collection located by Payne Field. It's not related to Boeing, but well worth the few bucks they are charging. http://www.flyingheritage.com/

There's also the Me 262 project where they actually produce Me 262 now!! Also by Payne Field http://www.stormbirds.com/project/index.html

Free admission, but a donation is appreciated.

LH are looking to put different C seats they are considering on that flight for market research, so I would do C if you have the cash ^^.

It looks like F is already full on LH403!

I've got quite a bit of long and midhaul Y scheduled before I'm rescued by the Honeymoon flights. IAH-CDG-STR, IAH-AMS, and PHL-STT-CLT (US Y, No Less! :eek:). Hopefully I'll end up getting upgraded on my EWR-LIM segments, else I'll have to add those to the list.

sdm1130 Feb 17, 2009 12:53 pm

ALCO - are you renting a car in STR or is there enough public transportation to get around?

Currently shown as an A343. The seats in that one video looked narrower than 17.5 inches.:eek:
Whats going in in FRA that CO 50 is nearly full this far out?

It's not any worse than flying CO in a 757 across the Atlantic. Remember that LHs top tier level members can pick the good seats. All 330s and 346s already has AVOD, many 343s also.

The plane to stay away from will be the 747. They will never get AVOD and it's pretty tight back there. The 747s will be retired soon anyways and replaced by A380 and 748i.

Do you know how much I would pay to fly in one of those? An unhealthy amount of money.
