Should, but I recall an itinerary last year where the check in was with Delta and I believe we had to recheck in with Virgin (though our bags were taken care of) just because Delta was :rolleyes:.

That was the 1st thing that went through my mind. Then I decided that I didn't have the time to start and keep up with another 20-page thread.

DL (and many other airlines) probably have trouble with itineraries that involve alliance and non-alliance airlines. Speaking of which, I need to work on an SQ award ...

Evening,Box. Coming to you from hot and sunny Bonaire, N.A. Well, not quite so sunny at the moment, of course, given that it's 11pm!

The next time we go to the one in Edison, I'll PM you and you can come with us! We love going there. It's fun.

Me too, I love the salad dressing. It's also both our daughter's favorite place, and they always go there for their birthday.

We'll have to bring it up next week when a few localish people get back from their trips.

Hope I can make it!

I did. :p

Just spent 15 minutes on the phone (via Skype) with VZW in the USA. They didn't really activate my global roaming.:rolleyes:

EWR-HAM was great, and now at the Courtyard by Marriott enjoying an arrivals lounge/shower and free internet.

Guten Morgen (I think).

Domestically, CO is better, but international C and F, UA is far superior.

And, this is just C...there's no comparison with UA p.s. F.

Blissy I have no idea what UA you're flying. Sure, UA has some great people and i've said that, but there are plenty of bad eggs as well. P.S. F is a joke next to C. C is great, hands down beats CO F. But I wouldn't spent a penny to sit in P.S. F.

I'll give UA props for being great, but it's also not completely green. Sure, CO didn't work for you but that doesn't mean you have to be bitter.

UA sounds appealing if you're 1K or GS...but sooner or later the gravy train will derail.

That will be a sad day as well. Maybe they'll wise up and let the high rev people continue to be on the gravy train. It is kind of silly that people on $200 tickets abuse the system so much. But, in the case of the high rev, it is good. Plus, there is something to be said about all the vouchers they give away. Either the vouchers don't get used or the person comes back. In the end, it does bring back revenue.

Herr Miller, welcome to 1B. What would you like for dinner. :D

Nice. I've seen a nice increase in Opups on both CO and UA lately. I'm hoping it lasts.

PROFIT!

Gooooooooood morning box. I slept like :rolleyes: all night. The church across the street from my apt (:mad:) was having some sort of all night ritual that involved: tamborines, random yelling, car alarms, and braying donkeys, which kept me up. So I have no idea why I'm so chipper.

I'm sensing this if fixin to be a bizarro day. I just went to Dunkin' and they guy didn't give me coffee, he just gave me milk and sugar. That was quickly fixed, but still.

Off to do some work before the ol' 9-1-1 what's your :rolleyes: fires up for the day (generally when the nursing home staffs try and wake their residents).

What *A lounges will I have access to as a *gold and CO plat and PC member in SEA in Nov????

I am trying to figure out if I should kill 5 hours in IAH or SEA with my layover.

This should answer your question.

I've found CO's hub clubs to be some of the best lounges in the world, outside of Asia (I've never been in an AS Board room however).

Plus, you don't know if CO will be "full integrated" into the * system by Nov. I, personally, wouldn't risk it and would go with the long layover in IAH.

Are you sure you don't live in Paterson?

And they claim that they just checked on the resident/patient 5 minutes ago, but when you arrive you find them on the floor and they have been dead for 9 hours. :rolleyes:
