Hopefully! ;)

Unfortunately, I don't think I have a free weekend - where SXM would work - until late July. Needless to say, that is a pretty :rolleyes: time for hurricanes and Caribbean weather in general so I might need to pass.

Aloha from the ABQ airport. :rolleyes:

If anyone is going to be in IAH between 5p and 7p tonight and wants to meet up email me at my FT handle @gmail.com

Regarding doing things on vacation vs. relaxing. CM, I agree with you that I hate doing things I can do at home while I'm on vacation, but I run myself so ragged during my "real" life, sometimes just napping on a beach is bliss.

When we do our usual 2 week bonanza in August I usually do 4 days site-seeing/cultural then 4 days beach then 4 days site-seeing. It's a nice way to package up a long vacation.

Bummer. So how goes your daily conversation with the Rewards desk? I haven't heard much lately.

US applied for and got TLV and Airbus was almost done building their planes.

I was thinking their A340's to fly to PVG ;)

No, still the sunport. I just can't bring myself to call it that.

It's so :rolleyes:esque.

:D

I actually have not called them since about early March. Our flights are in pretty good shape - right now we're just on 2 different ICN-LAX flights that leave within 4 hours of one another.

The only other options I see on KVS right now are 2 seats on BKK-NRT(NW)-ATL(DL)-EWR(DL) but the BKK-NRT flight leaves at 5am. :rolleyes: I still have hopes that KE will come through with another reward seat on one of our ICN-LAX flights!

Ugliest chairs I have ever seen at an air... I mean, sunport.

Leverage some Alliance goodness, or be a junior pimp and lease out your hoplanes.

Oh, I've already whored out my alliance options. I was a good houseguest at first, running some routes at prices above my alliance hosts just to increase utilization but keeping load factors low. Then RK Pacific started undercutting me by a buck out of one of my hubs and I got sucked into the allure of increasing cash, bit by bit. Now I'm like a brother in law who won't leave.

Now I find that when I lower fares to increase loads or to piss off Pimpslap, my daily take is doing down.

That's what happens when you flood a market.

The food and beaches are stunning. IMO, only Aruba has better beaches. Grenada, Barbados, and Grand Cayman are close, but SXM and AUA are tops, I think. Best uncrowded beaches in the Caribbean have got to be in PUJ, IMO. There were a few Germans and French skulking about when I was there, but the beaches were essentially vacant.
