Should I go to CDG, LHR, or BCN on my next weekend trip?

Nor have I. If my New Years plans hold, that will be my first trip there. Gawd I am unsober right now. Aerolineas :rolleyes: car service is dangerous. :D

I hear there's a job opening for safety consultancy with Ilyushin. :rolleyes:

If it is a quick fun run, I would stick to a city you know. BCN is tops on my list as well, but I want to make sure we have enough time to enjoy it.

Might other suggestions be possible or are you stuck to those 3?

I am discussing a potential outpost for my company in Saipan as a former colleague is setting up shop there after graduating from law school (fiance lives there). I was investigating the connections to there, and found this potential great addition to the log:

On the business side, have an office on a U.S. commonwealth this close to Asia could be quite beneficial.

Greetings from FL320, somewhere over northern Virgina according to FlightTracker. My DL MD88 has gogo service this morning so I decided to give it a try. It started pretty much awesome but it has slowed to a crawl now. :td:

Gogo was completely :rolleyes: when I tried to use it Thursday. Both the Blackberry and laptop couldn't connect to the misconfigured system.

Off to enjoy a day with the fiancee. She has only told me that she wants to "do something". I'm logging off and going to look for a box of something.

Gives you a lot of freedom, actually.

But let's face it, they serve a solid purpose in the industry and have indirectly saved each of us a ton of money.

Being based out of BWI and then BNA, they've saved me a lot of money. I also like their VDB payout process, especially considering I took bumps on 75% of my 2008 WN trips.

I just use regular Flyertalk on my BB Storm and avoid all that mobile FT nonsense.

I use my ancient Blackberry (8700g) but the new Bolt browser to avoid the mobile non-sense.

My vote is for CDG or open jawing between LHR and CDG. Schedule permitting, it might be a fun time to get a line to/from LCY.

:)

Hotel suggestion in a great location with a ton of fun cafes.

Fair enough.
