FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

No love on the Specials list for EWR-DAY? Air Force Museum, Wright Brothers? This is a crowd that appreciates aviation history. DAY is a great weekend for that. Food options in town suck, but you're not going for the five-star white-tablecloth experience anyway.

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

That's just wrong. My parents never spent my miles.

I think CO should sell places in the overhead bins for transcons at a steep discount. That would drive more checked baggage fee incremental revenue and accomodate people who didn't want to pony up for regular coach.

I'd do it. I could take a decent nap at least. Not so much with using my laptop, but otherwise not so bad.

Your parents probably never used you as a mileage-earning prop on 8-segment Q-UPs, either. I have plans for my future spawn. Big plans. :D

The frequent flyer version of exploiting your child actor and leaving them broke at age 18. :p

The delta.com specials are even worse AVL, CVG, CAE, GSP.

I'll take 4 places I will never pay to go to for 1000 Alex.

Sure. And the guy in Oz basically does the same thing, with the idea that you spend the same $15 and give it to a charity instead since he can get it processed for free. It is a good idea and seems to work pretty well.

I've been to all of those, except for AVL. I would go back to CVG, at least for the Chili.

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.

Try this.

AVL is AWESOME! It is absolutely worth a weekend in the summer for some hiking and hanging out in the Appalachian hills (I can't really call them mountains - they're too short). The Blue Ridge Parkway is a beautiful drive and there are even some good value chain hotel properties there if that's your thing.

EKL, P. 5A
JAM, R. 3F
LAU, C. 4A
MAR, M. 5E
MAS, L. 3A
PLU, J. 1B
PLU, M. 1A
RAM, G. 2B
