FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

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.

The father of a guy that I went to middle school with did the Blue Ridge on his Hog and years later I still remember him talking about how great the scenery was.

ETA: 5,800

I hear they get kind of protective with the firstborn. By the time they've had three or four, they're willing to let them play with lighters and/or live alligators. Also, by the time there's three or four holy terrors running around, they're generally happy to get them out of the house for a day or two.

"Don't you worry, honey. Just sit back and enjoy a few martinis this weekend. Me and the Jr's will be back on Sunday, with enough BD miles between us to head to the S. Pacific in J for our next vacation." :D

Their 777-200 Seat is quite nice, though.

Is it OK if I turn my nose up at 2x3x2 J on the 777? Cause that sounds tight. Not DL 767 2x2x2 tight, but still.

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.

When we were leaving the 777 on our 8.5 hour return from CDG my wife said that BF seats looked bigger than she remembered. :D:rolleyes::o

If AM flights were ever full up front on MEX-TIJ-NRT, it might be an issue. However, the seat map at present looks like we'll have the run of the front cabin during our flight. Snagging the 2-seat side in advance was no problem.

here is the one DL.com special I like

New York-Kennedy, NY (JFK) Los Angeles, CA (LAX) $109 (218 return)

Can I get a CO EWR-LAX match???

I just got the new Fly RFD email announcing service to NYC and WDC. I thought good for them - they are working hard at getting new service. Then I thought, who the heck is Air Azul? http://www.flythenewblue.com/

Ahhh, this makes more sense: We are currently operating on Metro III aircraft and it is anticipated that our mainline operations will commence with one Sun Country, Boeing 737-800, starting June 1, 2009

I don't have any Metroliners on my FlightMemory... @:-)

However, if they go defunct, I can always trek up to Ontario for a ride on Bearskin Airlines...

I need to make my way out to The Azores before SATA Regional retires its BAe ATPs. IIRC, they're the last ones in passenger service.

It is interesting to see these scheduled charter type airline popping up with wet leased aircraft. I would be curious to know how much capital they need to start services?
