Good start to building status on all three alliances.

Depends on the route. Anything to LIM is an almost guaranteed EUA.

Not to LIM (although I would like to visit). Two of my three misses this year - including last Friday - have been on 752s.

Right, I kinda figured that. I meant having everyone start over from scratch again, and without the couple billion bucks we started with that got everyone's route networks off and screaming. I am in another private world that has the full world map and a couple million to start. I think they gave you two fokkers to get rolling with.

I found that experience a bit more satisfying because I had to really scrape together a fleet based on very small prop planes with limited reach. I truly built it from the ground up. Now I'm able to buy 737 variants and beginning have expanded to a second hub. It was a much slower progression that took the effort to plan correctly, and that is part of the fun for me. It was a little more than buying aircraft en mass and flying to every airport possible (though I do fly to every airport possible, hehe). I started in that world after a year or two of game time had elapsed, but I'm already like 25 of 67 or something like that. And with more airports, I don't have near the load issues I do in our current world.

But again, that's just me. I'm ok with whatever the group wants to do. :)

ETA: I have paid tokens if they are helpful.

It's good to see the dirt-cheap one-way biz fares from S.E. Asia make a reappearance. I had been looking at the multiple variants of that fare (up to ICN, DL 77L to ATL, etc.), but just don't think I'll be able to use it any time in the near future. Here's hoping the economic downturn means ultra-cheap ex-KUL/TPE/CGK/SGN fares will be around for a while.

That one is def a mistake, I have one booked already after I refunded my DPS fare but it is the basic KUL-ICN-JFK-YYZ .

According to the fare rules it is , being able to book the stopover is a different story though.

How many tokens would it take? I have 83.

Why the hell are they making you get a physical (other than a drug test) for the job?

Because it's for Pepsi Bottling. They test for lifting ability since it deals with mass quantities of soda. They also do a step test for (I'm assuming) general cardio health.

I can't seem to make a full-map world for anything cheaper than 181.

I was just wondering this morning if one could use that fare to use Aussie segment and you answered my question.

I'm still finding a few for $695 with various routings:
KUL-ICN-ATL-JFK-YYZ
KUL-ICN-ATL-YYZ
KUL-ICN-LAX-YYZ
KUL-ICN-LAX-JFK-YYZ

And then there are some around $900, still not a bad deal:

KUL-PVG-ATL-YYZ
KUL-SIN-NRT-ATL-YYZ

I'm thinking of booking a second one, though i'm not sure.

The fare rules do say "No penalties for cancellation" so I read that as yes.

Easily disputed with your cc company. :)
