At least it was an offer to take her to GVA and not DSM. I think it's funny that she has learned to ask how you're getting there.

Yeah, she's learning pretty quickly. I thought I had more time.

Where is it? I can't find it.

She does like flying in the pointy end so one of these days i'll make the correlation for her so she gets it. Baby steps, baby steps.

I plan to use the alliance shift to keep the Significant Otter in the dark a while longer.

"Sorry, hon. Now that we're in Star Alliance, the only way to get to Europe is to either use TAM through Brazil or Air NZ through Auckland."

How long do you think that will last? And what happens when she figures it out? :)

I suck in Airline Mogul. Bought a couple of wrong planes and my ranking is heading in the wrong direction, fast. :o

I am completely amazed at how much I slept today. It was good sleep too. I'm still sick but I now feel rested.

Wrong planes like minor mistakes or wrong planes like what you bought doesn't have the range for the city pair?

Hehe. That's the ultimate in personal style, IMO. The Arab sheikhs can keep their gold plating.

C:rolleyes:mcast put the Devils game on an overflow channel and has forgotten to turn on the audio. Not that I want to listen to the bloodbath...3-0 Toronto with 3 minutes left in the 1st.

The better question is where it is that you have found a fare that even justifies thinking of the use of NK. :confused:

Well, for even $20 more I can fly a B1900 and get 1000 LFMs on CO, but I've never flown NK and figure it cannot be all that bad, at least for a 30 minute flight from FLL to TPA.

Did you find the enabling you were looking for? :D

I think so. I just have to finally decide to actually buy the ticket instead of driving the 4 hours at 7pm after the Mod Do after the Freddies. :confused:

Sounds like I got out just in time. Cold & windy here in CAE, but not snowing. 50ish, I'd say.

It'd be fun to do a 30-minute hop on a commercial jet, but NK gives me the willies. I'm used to them not being competitive on any level, so it surprised me that you even found a fare worth considering.

Much cheaper fare and better timing (I won't have to leave the event early). I'm still not convinced, but I'm getting closer.

I've heard that NK's on time performance on intra-FL routes can be pretty terrible. I suspect that is mostly during the summer months, but it might still be worth investigating if you're on any sort of a fixed schedule.

The other Mods will make fun of you for using NK.

Thanks. I just need to be in TPA by 7am the next day, so I can still make the drive or be a bit delayed, but the first flight in the morning doesn't work.

Eff em.

It looks like I may have another 744 J opportunity later this year, and that I still won't get to fly on the upper deck. I do like that the LH 346s have the Y lavs downstairs. That's pretty nifty.

+1. Normally I NEVER take naps, but by about 2 pm I was literally falling asleep at my desk so I went home and collapsed on the couch. Made it to about minute 40 of the Arsenal-Villarreal game (UEFA Champions League) before going out cold.

Still slightly congested, and the ears are plugged up, and teaching (i.e. talking) for 3-4 hours this morning KILLED the vocal cords...that said, I think I'm getting better.

Of course, I have to leave by 5:30 AM tomorrow to drive my houseguest to PHL, come back, and go to work. Ouch.
