Things like this certainly don't help...

Don't screw the pooch for the rest of us.

Ya know...seriously though. It's hard enough to upgrade as a Plat as it is...next year it will be impossible.

If CO allows discounted economy fares to be doubled (and not 150%), one could technically do 3 MRs from LAX-DUB using the 25% coupon for $289 all in. Route LAX-IAH-EWR-DUB and make Platinum for a whopping $867.

Are you only offered the 25% coupon after you have already flown a European flight this year? I haven't seen a 25% coupon.

I predict the sharp downturn in business travel will more than account for the increase in MR'ers.

Her name is not Olivia and no clue where she got Otter unless she's been reading the box I didn't know it. Homage to you oh great ALCO!

:eek:

Is The Box even safe for chirruns to read?

NO! And since I watch what she looks at VERY closely, I'm pretty sure she hasn't been on here ;) She must just like otters!

Thankfully Otter afficionados are generally content with viewing them at the Zoo (or the Monterey Bay Aquarium). You gotta watch out for Penguin addicts. They demand to see them in their native habitat.

How many different tickets is that?

Why must NJ schools start their spring break on the same day I am looking to go somewhere? I can't find a decent fare out of EWR anywhere on 4/4. :(

My phone is here, my phone is here (doing a happy dance). It's prettier and lighter than the last brick I had; but it's still a brick. One annoyance, the slide out keyboard slides the opposite way of the last phone. Why couldn't they keep that the same? :rolleyes:
