I know that if the people show up on the standby-list and the upgrade standby-list then they are more than likely non-revs. On our flights, the standbys are not on both.

The PDA site is showing 1 seat available up front and there is no mention of it being blocked. If CO is no longer selling the flight, my guess would be that the back is either not oversold or it is oversold by a very small number. They are probably hoping to take care of an oversold situation with a single upgrade. Just some more speculation to consider...

Pray to the bump gods! :)

CO.com = :rolleyes:

Trying to book at ticket to KWI this November in J. Online calender shows it as being open (in fact every day DL has a flight is open for reward travel...way to go DL!) but apparently CO and their partners no longer serve KWI come the end of March.

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hope you are able to get it booked. KWI = ^ and cooler than DXB. The Kuwaitis know how do it.

Yeep.

And DL actually knows how to make award seats open up more than 2 months out. ^

This is torquing me off as well. I am browsing for flights this summer and there is NO availability 98% of the time. IMHO the latest round of systems updates may have thrown the reward calendars off...

Yeah, spent a couple of days in Dubai and boy was it a disappointment. Kind of felt like Vegas because of all the megaresorts but without the casinos.

That is the trick I was thinking about. Best of luck with the upgrade or bump!

What I did like about it was that fact that it is a relatively easy indoctrination in to the Arab world. Two nights there was plenty for us and we enjoyed the time and new experiences.

Big price difference between the two machines. I noticed the NC10 I played with this weekend seem a bit thicker and heavier than the Acer.

I wish this product would get updated:

It is a nice form factor and something I'd buy in a heartbeat.

I'm not going to fill out the NCAA bracket this year. I just can't put my school as losing against the team I usually pick to win the whole thing even though my school will get crushed like a little bug in their first trip. Only thing that could make them win is the bigger animal mascot theory.:rolleyes:
