:td: not worth it.

:rolleyes:v, those have to be the smallest amount of legroom I've ever seen in J. I have more room on CO Y- bulkhead!

I do like the white on white checkerboard linens however, classy, reminds me of the Westins.

JFK/LAX-SCL-IPC on LA in J for 80K. AA charges usurious South Pacific redemption rates for IPC. BA considers it S. America. Also, I already have 40K in my BA account. I just want to earn 40K more, then transfer *Points to get the other ticket.

ETA - It's 125K/ticket for J to IPC with AA miles. That's 45K more per ticket.

That's what HNL really is for me but I could have done the same with two PHL-IAH-SAN back to back trips for about $100 less but I suspect HNL beats SAN on the niceness scale. I do need to get to SAN one of these days.

I think I broke my AspireOne. I opened it up because the fan was really loud and I wanted to clean it out. Now the wireless is hosed. Not happy at all. :( :mad:

Not good.

How much Scotch-Gard should I spray myself with to ward off the evils of a US 752 Y seat?

A hazmat suit might be a better choice.

Same here. I get more miles if I go to BOS but rather run to HNL instead. Besides, it's warmer.

I have been playing Airline Mogul for about a month now and I really wish they had more data available on aircraft utilization and things like point-to-point routings in the public worlds.

What I have been trying to do is maximize specific planes on certain routes, especially routes that are money makers (IAH-LAX is bringing in $80k/day right now).

Has anyone else not received their SPG 09 Elite card? I didn't even customize mine. :rolleyes:

I have so far fought the urge to join in, but I just created an account.

Yeah. :rolleyes:

I don't think I keep any hotel affinity cards in my wallet. I have the numbers saved on my crackberry, so what's the point of carrying them other than Costanza'ing?
