I believe the technical answer to that is yes. It never hurts to drop by an Embassy/Consulate, though, as YMMV.

I might just send it in with a request that the page additions be expedited and pay the $50 fee or whatever it is.

Would CO save any money by having these parked at the maintenance hanger vs. the area near gates? As if there is any area near the CO gates to park 3 extra birds??

There's no room to park near the gates. For flights from Asia/Pacific, they all get towed to the far west end of the LAX. You can play "name those airlines":

For CO, they just taxi over to the hanger. When I got there at 5p, only one 738 was inside. The other 2 738s and the 752s came after I arrived.

I wanted to simply get pages added before the FLN trip, but ended up having to get a whole new passport due to a :rolleyes: on the Amendments/Endorsements section.

Looks like I have more work to do, then :D

Ha! I'd probably need about a solid month of reading to get through all the posts! It usually takes me about an hour to catch up when I've only missed a day!

When I was new to FT (hee! hee! just a few short months ago!), I ventured over to OMNI one night. Someone there told me to come to the Box. Sure glad I did!

I'm looking forward to the CNJ-Mini-Do to meet everyone in person whom I haven't already had the pleasure of meeting.

Me neither - I will say at any opportunity that presents itself that The Box is the most fun I've ever had on the Net. The vibe is great, the people are awesome, and the humor is fearless. My kind of joint.

I'll be trying out WN for the first time in ages in two weeks... MSY-HOU. CO only had B fares left, and I couldn't be bothered to pay that much of a premium for an 00:45 flight. I'll probably end up being depressed after the flight, once I realize that WN's Y hard-product is light-years ahead of CO.

Anyone think that the Virgin Empire will at some point, either due to SQ or despite it, join Star?

+1.

What I've learned so far today.
1) NJ State employees get paid more they then moan they do.
2) The warranty on my car is about to expire :rolleyes:
3) The solution to all my problems is solved by a cleansing.
4) I get a perfect body if I get the Nordictrack incline trainer
5) I get a perfect body if I get P90X
6) I get a perfect body if I get the 10 minute trainer
7) I should get a make over
8) If I want a job I need to color my hair to get rid of the gray.
9) My Anglo-Canuck says she'd pay for me to get a trifecta as that's all the rage in YVR provided she's in the room to hear me scream :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: (god hope she was joking)

Flight numbers: 1777 / 50 (there's a plane switch in EWR) / 51 / 8803

I'd love to, but I'm booked that weekend already. I'll be sucking down canned air in Belize. :D

Quite likely. And it'll be even more disappointing when you realize that the gate lice syndrome is worse on the legacies, too.

I like a LOT about what WN does. It is the limited route network (international) that does them in for me.

SQ only owns a part in VS, and they have tried to sell it. So as much as I would hope they join, Im not sure if it will happen, or if it does it will only be VS and not the rest of the group.

I will likely start using them more often once I move, as I'll be closer to HOU than IAH.
