Will CO please change the current Europe fares to be good through the end of May! I want to book a run and the gf has agreed to go, but everything is a bit on the pricey side at the moment.

I was just looking at IAH-HAM for mid-May and saw $338 before taxes, but I wish they'd carry it to the end of the month.

For the record the "food" options sucked in the lounge.

You broke form here. I was expecting 'the "food" options were minimal and disappointing...' ;)

I've found PHL-IAH-EWR-GVA/ZRH for $520 AI up to the weekend of 5/15-5/17. The gf can't go until the 29th though and i'm just waiting for that one to open up.

If I could get a GVA fare in that range in June I'd almost certainly go; I have a friend there I haven't seen in a while. I'd try for May but I'm just too booked at this point. So much travel planned that I cannot book more travel. Cry me a river, right? :eek:

Cool! Thanks! Nifty pic, too.

Some people have a tough life.

Are you going to end up going to FCO?

Still not sure about FCO. It is still on the calendar right now, but the guy I work with in BDA keeps flaking out so I haven't been able to nail down if I'm actually going to be working that week or not. If so I'll be spending that week and the weekend in BDA instead. Either way, I get a foreign country (BDA would be a new one, FCO a repeat) and some miles, though with BDA I'd also get a lot of money, which would be a nice benefit on the effort. Our discussion on details has been rescheduled for tomorrow, so I might know then, though I am not holding my breath.

Good luck!

I would probably pick BDA over FCO as well, for the record. :)

Harry Kalas, the long time Phillies broadcaster and voice of many NFL Films passed away today.:( He was found in the broadcast booth earlier today.

Marilyn Chambers kicked the bucket too.

I waited too long on the DPS fare and now it's gone. Oh well. :(

Way fewer miles, but WAY better for my professional life and also likely in F (on a EUA) rather than in an E- seat on a UA777. Plus I'll be getting paid for my time.

I'd pick BDA, too.
