I trust The Box's opinions, so I will indeed try UA. I either have to get in on a Q-Up that some people are doing, or I'll have to look at them for a trip with the fiancee that is post-Star and see if the routing doesn't make her :rolleyes:.

KL metal only, IIRC. And KL metal only once in Europe. Segments in the USA can be any carrier.

Hmmm, well then.

I'll keep my mouth shut. :)

IIRC, DEN is the largest CO Elite non-hub. Stems from when it was a hub.

Someone will end up having to walk me thru a Q-Up booking at that time and/or show me the nuances of .bomb - I feel a little strange on any airline website that isn't CO, WN, or US.

I think it is two things.

1. It used to be a hub and there are a lot of CO loyalists there.
2. Banking. When I was lucky enough to get a Y-UP on the route, I almost always sat next to bank executives.

Pimpslap Air + Boeing announce strageic partnership
 
PR Newswire for immediate release.

Pimpslap Air signed a letter of intent today to take delivery of Pimpslap air's 65th Boeing 737-300. This aircraft makes Pimpslap Air the largest operator in of the 737-300 in the word. Boeing's V.P. of Sales Joe Smith and Pimpslap Air's V.P. of operations and acquisitions Ludacris were on hand for the signing of the historic agreement.

Ludacris had this to say "Pimpslap Air has hoes all over the world baby." Boeing's response to this agreement was simply and cryptically, "Respect."

Makes sense. I am now #26 of 29 on the upgrade list.:rolleyes: F is full and checked in full. Not that I was expecting to be upgraded. I would have let Mrs. photog72 enjoy F if I was upgraded.

Banking?!?!:confused: I would expect that of CLT, not DEN. Oh well. I'll make sure that if a Y-UP is available, I'll do that next time.

I didn't think it fit either. The only thing I can piece together is that there is a large Wells Fargo office in the city.

Oh, another thing that contributes to the elites:
EnCana, Halliburton, Smith International, Rio Tinto Group, Newmont Mining, Noble Energy, and Anadarko all have offices in Denver.

And we can't forget Xcel Energy, Kroger, and Lockheed Martin having a big presence there as well.

Hey Ludacris, are you still buying my A300?

No spot for Ice-T? Come on now, at least he really was a pimp.
