No kidding. I can not remember the last time I noticed someplace fun in these specials. Oh well!

YUL is plenty fun.

Is there a site where I can find a nice list of the visa requirements for many different countries? It's a pain having to dig around for requirements for each country.

On a related note, has anyone used the guy on FT to apply for Australia's ETA? It's only $12 per person to do it online, so I might go that route.

Indeed it is, as is YQB.

Don't get me wrong, I love YUL but would rather find someplace warmer rather than colder.

Yup. Mine sure is. That being said, she's willing to go half-n-half on trips when I tell her we get more trips that way. We usually fly over in Y and home in J for Europe. And she does note that the J is better while we're in Y.

My FCO-MLA-FCO flights in Y on the MD80 were fine. My YYZ-MXP flight in J on the 767 was torture. Never again. :mad:

It isn't all that long. Eat a little, nap a little, hang out in the galley a little. My bigger concern would be that they cater more booze than a typical 737. :eek:

In a heartbeat.

Yea. Someone besides me who thinks that way.

I haven't but everyone who has reports good results. I'd definitely go that route if I needed to actually pay for it. I got ours for free via UA thanks to a premium cabin ticket. :D

RDU is a step up from the usual choices, but YUL is getting to be a stale option.

So you'll go to SBN but not to EWR for dinner, eh? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yes, but you can have full control over their OnePass accounts. Mmmm, Mileage farming. :D

Try here.

The site was actually designed and developed by my wife's former company. And it is absolutely horrible. Completely miserable. The content is crap and the navigation is even worse. Fortunately she doesn't work there any more so I will never have the opportunity to meet the people who did it, read them the riot act and get her in trouble.
