If you are on a flight, say from LHR-ERW, and it is diverted to KEF for any reason, is it ok to list LHR-KEF-EWR in FM, or should it be the original routing?

I haven't been diverted yet, but I was just wondering about proper Box etiquette for such an event.

Definitely list the routing with the diversion. It can make for fun FM lines. :D

FM should be for actual flights one take.

by me? I am drunk on work :( been working non stop for now 34 hours. again.

ON the other hand I am about to take a 1 hour break and help my parents get their dsl back up at their house.....rearranging all furniture. So from work work, to free work! Then another 12+ hours of real work.

United status retention buy-up
 
Did anyone get the email for United status buy-up/fast track for the remainder of 2009, until Jan 2010. Pay $350, get 3P for 90 days (which gets you into E+), fly 7,500 EQMs and qualify for 2P until Jan 2010 or fly 15,000 EQMs and qualify for 1P until Jan 2010.

It'd get me *G status but I'm not sure how much time I plan to spend on Star alliance/United flights for the rest of the year. The only sure itin I have is BOS-DEN. And without any SWUs taking a plunge in the MR pool of United fares could be painful. E+ without AVOD or in-seat power isn't my idea of a relaxing way to fly to Asia.

That's what I was thinking. In the unlikely event we end up in KEF, I'll post that for sure. Unfortunately, any unplanned diversion will more likely put me at CAK or something exciting like that. :cool:

I was reading the panama thread (AKA lenten food issues thread) and it got me thinking. CO no doubt does special catering to TLV, BOM, NRT, PEK, and HKG. Would a few extra pasta/fish dishes be out of the question for friday Central and South American flights?

This and a lot of other events, makes me believe that being anti-catholic is one last acceptable social bias in our society.

If you want star gold, go to BD. Personally I wouldn't think it is worth it in the 8 months we have left with skyteam.

I got that. I can't believe people will pay that kind of $ for 3 months of 3P.

Not changing catering during Fridays in Lent does NOT make CO anti-Catholic.

I'm not Catholic, but the only meat I eat is seafood or fish. I wish there were more pastas on board. Lately, all there has been is meat or meat. I deal with it and never expect to have a meatless choice on domestic flights, but it would be nice.

It was pretty common for UA to cater more fish/meatless on Fridays during Lent. Of course, I don't fly them anymore, but I recall they did more of that than CO does.

Uh huh. And I hate mushrooms, which CO is obsessed with putting in everything, including cereal.

Is Chelsea anti-whatever I am? No. Do I cope? Yes. I simply buy my food before I get on board (usually). :rolleyes:
