Is it ever. I need to swing by and pick up some more of their BBQ sauce as I just used up my last bottle.

It means business, right? In fact, I call the movie "Risky Business" "Risky It." :rolleyes:

For all those not keeping score at home, TG = :mad:

The other places I pointed out knock the socks off of Salt Lick, they are just a little bit of drive.

Salt Lick's brisket has always been good to me though, I've only had it dry out once. Their sauce is a selling point.

Then it should not make a difference what you call it at home! :rolleyes:

But seriously, I've heard good things about TG's premium classes -- what's the deal with them?

C:rolleyes: question for the Box --

If I want to book a trip from NYC - ZLO using miles in First, how many miles would they ding me for? The kerfuffle is IAH - ZLO is only operated by Express, so how do they work the mileage for those flights?

When they operate the flights, yes, they're fine.

The first part of that sentence, however, is the kicker. Great way to ruin a vacation is when you can't get to it. And then you're out all your inter-Asia and hotel bookings.

Bah. Humbug.

Maybe I'll just pony up the $400 beans and book on the 777 between EWR and IAH and play EUA roulette. Paying for F on these flights is rather :rolleyes: anyway considering the connection coming home leaves IAH at 705 so "no soup for :rolleyes:."

Also of note: BKK-LAX has been pretty open on TG (via ANA) so if anyone here ever wanted to sample TG, that'd be a flight to do it on. (No, not that kind of "it" -- the other kind.)

Yeah, it's taunting me! Freaking UA won't book it since they can't see it, a la Starnet blocking. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Don't mind him, he's just bitter that they cancelled the JFK-BKK flight last year.

I'm still hoping that UA magically sees the segments i want soon or I may be going through Europe to SIN/MLE this summer.

In a ^^ to UA... I am flying MSP-SEA-YVR(NW)-ORD-LHR(UA) today. I wans't relishing the thought of having to go through Canadian customs for "a connection" given how much i've heard in the box. UA cancelled YVR-ORD as I was standing in SEA and managed to get the 1k desk to rebook me SEA-ORD and preserving my upgrade to LHR. :D
