Can one of you experts confirm for me - with SkyTeam Elite Plus (CO Platinum) - we should have access to the AirFrance or Alitalia Lounges at MXP, right?

CO.com says so, but I thought I'd ask someone who has tried that before.

Thanks!

Not sure they are the same, though. I think the last time I got them from Canada, I discovered they were made by Hershey's here in the US!

Bleugh! Gotta be the real McCoy! I feel a UK MR coming on ....... or maybe DUB seeing as the fares are pretty good right now.

No but I did see a huge box of the stuff in ASDA. Nor did I buy any tea for you when I was in Sansbury last night either. I figured I'd give you an excuse to go back.

A big boo the the CO IT people for having something a miss and teasing me about Elite Access. (like it mattered, we general boarded all rows after Elites due to so few people) During my expected no go intl OLCI, it kept giving me Elite Access screens. Then the Kiosk did the same but did the BP say that? No. The half that can get torn off did say ST1 which was weird and the guy checking my docs at the gate that thought it was strange too.

Apple mentioned today that the ability to tether is built in to OS 3.0 and that the are working with providers to see if it will be allowed. Basically, the ball is in AT&T's court now (in the US at laast).

Tethering is a great thing.

Typing on the French keyboards at PH Vendome was :rolleyes: I don't even want to see how many spelling errors I had with those posts on FT.

Need to eat some more corned beef then go to the UPS location to pick up dollar coins. ^

Eating some corned beef brisket tip that I cut into medallions straight out of the fridge. A lot better than hot last night, I can affirm.

Yes, but icurhere2 came to us from The Lounge, which is a Delta product, and Delta is known for their multiculturalism in advertising.

I'm pretty sure that there is an AZ lounge in the non-Schengen area, but it is worse than sitting in the terminal. Seriously. I have pretty vivid memories of hating my life in that room.

The AF lounge is almost certainly at the Schengen gates and inaccessible to you for your flights.

Many potential explanations:

1. The four days of watching the History Channel gang specials last week that flash the terminology and the definitions.

2. I'm diverse and that's how I roll (least likely, seeing as I grewing up on a rural MD tobacco farm, am singing George Strait at the moment, and half the Box has met me).

3. The vast majority of my "customers" are under the age of 25.

Rats! I'm starting to have panic attacks. I have less than 2000 tea bags in my pantry ... help!

Oh well, just no way around it, guess I'll have to do a MR .... :D

Thanks, sbm12. I was there in 2005, but can't remember all the specifics. I had flown in from BOM, so I was pretty much wiped out, so being able to hang anywhere and re-charge my MP3 player was good.

I'll report back next week :)

I'm down to about 6 boxes of tea and didn't place an order with my connection. However, a friend who visited Oz presented me a box of Tim Tams a little earlier this afternoon ^

On another food note - if I were to drive the few extra miles to Shipley on the way to BNA tomorrow morning, is there anything a first-timer is to purchase?
