Yep. And IAH-LAX used to see the 767s as well. I miss those days. :(

Don't you just love that about London hotels? I have a rule when picking a hotel there — it needs to be new enough that it has a climate control system that can do AC or heat, any time of the year.

Well, you need to fix it. NOW. I've got a tight connection arriving at B-84 :mad: in a few hours and then a run to the TerminaLink and then hopefully to a gate in C North (but it will likely be C South or the far end of E, given my luck) and no time deal with a busted TerminaLink.

That's it. No more TerminaLink rides for belynch. You're taking the bus from now on. ;)

Yes. I hope some upgrades clear, else IAH-SFO-EWR-LIM and back is going to be very rough.

Good luck! You'll need it. You've got some really tough routes to upgrade on in there.

I'm more concerned with upgrading on EWR-LIM-EWR than on the others. I'm not holding out much hope for the Transcons.

Greetings from London.

Virgin Upper Class is really the only way to travel, period.
The revivals lounge is great. A hot shower before London revived me.

Off to Trafalagar Sq and Soho now.

Have fun bud! :)

It's going to be a tough day for me today and tomorrow. My dad has taken a turn for the worst and I have been advised to get myself and the kids to CLT ASAP. :( Leaving tonight for IAH at 6:35pm and checking into a hotel for a few hours of rest. I hate flying redeyes. Leaving first thing Friday morning for CLT on an ERJ. Traveling postive emergency space so I don't have to worry about getting seats.

Getting back home on Friday is not going to be the easiest thing. Flights out of CLT are full. Will try going via UA Air since they have a non-stop and if that doesn't work I have confirmed seats on Saturday.

:mad: My luck just ran out.

Hey sfogate,

Our thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family. I hope it can all still improve! Best of lucks.

And when you do it, make sure you do it on a 346 if you can, or a 747 otherwise. The 343 is not so much fun...

Very sorry to hear that. I hope that the travel goes by quickly and you are able to focus on what's important.
