I'm not getting the upgrades on the BF flights anyways, so the big ticket upgrades still cost money, but being able to move my reward reservations around to suit my needs has saved me many hundreds of dollars over the past few years.

Where do you get the most value out of your elite status?

Not cool. Can you get most of the shows you lost as streaming video online? ABC/CBS/Comedy Central are pretty good about making content available online. The only show I watch regularly is "Lost," and I'm glad it's available online, because I never am able to catch it during its regularly scheduled slot.

I heart National Rent a Car. The Buick Lucerne is a fine automobile (well, it beats the Grand Marquises and Lincolns I used to drive to LFT when renting from Hertz). If I hadn't already downed a 32oz. "Orange Octane" daiquiri from the drive-thru down the road, I'd be out enjoying a ride.

I'd take a private IL-96-300. That would be one sweet ride.

Partial synopsis from Barnes & Noble.com: Photos of the iconic plane's exteriors, engineering, specs, interiors, details - even an oversized photo of the place setting served in first class - are reproduced on the highest quality paper to pay tribute to the plane synonymous with speed, luxury, and style. A must-have collectible edition for anyone who flew on the Concorde or for any serious civil aviation enthusiast's library.

Comcrap blows. Whether it is their DVR or customer service (or lack thereof), or pricing (rising way faster than inflation). I love my Tivo and Dish Net service. Comcast's service goes out as soon as a pigeon leaves a dropping over your house.:p

Did they ever switch to a live ATC feed? When I was there three years back (actually exactly three years ago this weekend :eek:) the feed was a 15 minute loop and pretty boring. If you're without a car there is also a bus option from the Mall downtown, which is what we used. It is a pity that you can't go in the Concorde, but I would guess that the wear on it would render it no longer tour worthy pretty quickly.

Didn't the Concorde offer only one class of service?
