Is yours made in Canadia? My wife's is, and surprisingly, no major problems.^ The way to find out, is if the first number in your VIN is 2. Cars made in Japan begin with J, Cars made in the USA begin with 1,4, or 5. Cars made in Messico begin w/ 3.

I'm getting $56 for the Saturday only - that's using the code that gets $10 back (Entertainment Book).

And my poor 1998 Ford Escort might hit 180,000 on the way back from the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. Warren himself would be proud. ;)

maybe that is the hotwire elite setting in :D I have been getting everything there of late. But these SPG properties in PHL are nicely priced.

It looks like CZ has a lot of biz reward availability this summer according to KVS. I may grab seats for preferred dates until something else pops up, though it could be fun to do CLE-LAX-CAN-BKK HKT BKK-HKG-?-CLE (with BKK-HKG on KQ or EK).

The ABC station here in Houston is stupidly sending a crew to MEX to cover the swine (pig) flu story. Another crew is being sent to LRD for the same story.:rolleyes:X 11ty billion.

I can most assuredly state that 1,000 FF miles or so isn't worth $20-30 more (plus tax) to me. SPG isn't one of my top programs (but definitely isn't ignored)!

I sound like a broken record, but our closing (v9.0) is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. This is becoming so anti-climatic. :rolleyes:^

BKK-HKG can also be done on a Royal Jordanian A310-300 in Biz on the cheap, if you're willing to go open-jaw with your reward, and spend a bit extra. Ethiopian also flies the route. It's a short, cheap ride (even in Biz). Might as well get a funky new carrier.

I'm US-made. 1HGEM is the start of my VIN...it's sad that I didn't need to look that up.

Gotta love the fifth freedom. Air travel between Thailand and China on a Middle Eastern carrier. :eek: ^
