See my previous post. :) They're idiots...

I hate the Mets, but I can still respect a Mets hat at Fenway.

And Red Sox fans are usualy more intelligent than Met's fans. :rolleyes:;)

I think they meant to say NY sucks in general. :D

I didn't have that option when I wore the Devils jersey to a Phillies game.

Now you're being sarcastic - no one does that IRL, do they?

I found no redeeming factors in NY, just go to NH.

Rangers fans have nothing to cheer for except for that twit Avery, because they're twisted like that.

I am sure they do some amazing database research on the trends that are established within CO.com. As most of us know, they can record everything that we do and can really learn a lot from it as long as they keep everything in perspective.

I am sure the revenue management folks love to see the top city pair searches so they can lock down the buckets until the last minute. :)

I suspect that is how they found the LAS-ROA B fare as well. Though that one lingered around for a good six weeks. It's a pity they finally found it.

Why the heck can't we redeem a reward to Asia via Europe? Seems like a silly rule in my opinion!

Sadly, UA is only marginally better. If you go TPAC, you have to come back TPAC. Makes it hard when they have availability one way via Europe and the other way via TPAC.

Could have fooled me...where are you finding these?

I would love to hit Silver before I do a whole lot of short hops (<500 mi) in early June, and after this weekend I'll be only 6393 EQM's away, i.e. 3197 actual flowm miles. However, due to schedule, the only possible days I can take care of this would be either Sat. 5/23 or Sun. 5/24 (I'd like to do a same day turnaround). And there seems to be nothing reasonable. The PHL-IAH-PHX-IAH-PHL $217 from yesterday has gone up.

Sigh...

Rio is calling. :)

And don't forget that not only does CO see all that you do on their website. They also pass all that on to the feds if it is an international flight. I saw my CBP dossier and it had every record of every time I logged in to check my seat assignments (basically daily :o), including my IP address. It also had my CC number and I'm pretty sure the billing address.

How did you manage to see that? Mine could be a fun read as well.

I haven't been looking at all today - working :( - but generally the lower fare buckets are zeroed out over weekends and open back up during the week. The airlines do this as people have spare time on the weekends so they will search and buy the cheapest flights they find. But excluding the truly cheapest buckets the airlines tend to realize a smidgen more revenue. Do that enough and it is real money in play.

You know, I had no clue about this... interesting.

Now, which kind of Indian's season do you prefer?
The "June swoon" when they're hopelessly out of it before the all star break?
Or, taking you into October where all your hopes are dashed?

Oh, I always expect them to go undefeated... but then reality sets in on Day 1 :)

I'll take the run in August and Sept. When I first moved to CLE in 1988, I lived through too many years of the we-are-out-of-the-running-on-May-1 kind of baseball.

After the move to The Jake, I went to the World Series in both 95 and 97. It was such a great experience... I just can't wait until they win it all.

The only thing I know about NH is that everyone who lives there commutes to Lowell, Ma.

Oh well. Hopefully the game on Wednesday will be better. Dunno why they aren't playing tomorrow. :rolleyes:
