Build as much as you can and hold it with the WU payment option. Then, call CO.com support and have them add the additional segments manually. This should allow you to bypass the $15 charge and earn 100% EQMs.

I have to get to BRW some day...

My sentence structure on FT basically sucks. When in doubt, I just put in a dash and continue on with another thought. :D

I'd be afraid to push past you.

I try to remain out of such situations as I tend to wear my emotions on face and my evil glare I suspect would only escallate matters.

I think he would be more deserving of US. ;)

Those comments usually earn "guess I got lucky" or "it came with being made GOD" depending on my mood &/or the speaker's obnoxiousness.

LOL - you should probably fear "She who reads The Box".

LOL. Funny how our dreams of a great vacation mean never leaving the airport! :)

Yes, there's a bus. It runs between the southeast pod of B and the C south concourse. It's the same bus that also goes to A.

It was working fine when I was on it. It always is.

If you come into and outta that part of the terminal it is sometimes just as fast as the terminalink I feel.

Had I been in your shoes after getting off of the plane, I might have said something. If he flies so much, he should have known that his seat (middle) sucks.

Middle seats aren't good. Hmmm. I might have to change some Alaska seats now. :)

Why not do IAH-SEA-ANC on CO and the rest on Alaska.com as you still get 100% miles on Alaska.

Try taking the subway in Tokyo during rush hour. I was with an associate who is a head shaven carribean black man, also tall. The sea of black hair parted magically for us as we took the escalator to the platform.

I asked my buddy if it would be funny if I roared like Godzilla.....

She who reads the Box - nah. She listens to my geek stories but would not seek out that of others. Although I did invent her hypothetical FT handle last night: GMOTFP. Get Me Off This....:eek:

Morning Box.

Wide awake waiting for the fiancee to stir...I guess my jetlagproofness is still in effect.

I always find travel the West Coast pretty easy on that. The first morning, you wake up, and your body is still on your home time zone, in your case, three hours ahead. So while you may be waking up at 7:00 AM Pacific time, your body thinks it's 10:00 AM.

Where I have a problem is returning home after I've been on the West Coast long enough for my body to adjust. I can't sleep at night, and can't get up in the morning after I'm back home.

I am a wreck flying back from the west or far east. I medicate myself the first night, which seems to shock the body back in to sync.

Does it also include "And the jerk wouldn't let me put my feet in front of his seat?"

They should get the title edited to reflect that as well.
