2 million USD to buy one :)

I am renting. I really wanted to see Strasbourg during this trip, and TGV tickets were outrageously expensive (despite the fact that it's only a 1hr trip).

Do you want to borrow my EmPower plug?

I can't figure it out. I am at a loss.

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

Likely a dream. They said at the Do that the bird wouldn't be in commercial service until mid-March.

Whats going in in FRA that CO 50 is nearly full this far out?

Likely nothing other than CO only selling expensive fares at this point in hopes of getting more revenue.

I waited too long to purchase a ticket to LIS and the fare went up quite a bit. I'm now looking for alternative EU cities for a long weekend in late March and Stuttgart was a consideration. Thanks for the info.

That's what I was thinking but the seats aren't that expensive. The non-Elite part of Y is showing only 1 available seat for the 3rd. Then I looked at the 4th and half is booked solid, nothing selected in the back half of non-Elite Y. Someone has a block of seats.

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.

I hear the German FA's scream at you in german (1 minute in) :D

Curse. Actually, I think this may have been the US IFE installation I was confusing it with. I think their vendor is in SMF.

Has anyone figured out the threshold for CO*? I was doing my taxes last night and calculated my spend on CO for the year. Too bad CO can't offer a competitive NYC - DC product. I dropped almost 5k on that route alone last year.

(ARE YOU LISTENING CO?)

Oh yeah. The DL forum can be nearly as amusing at times too, although UA definitely gets the prize.
