Many places clear the salt/pepper even before bringing the dessert menus over. I've never used salt or pepper on my dessert and that lets them actually clean up the table to prep it for dessert. Or they were being annoying and rushing you out of the place. Hard to know which it was.
Good Luck!!

The weather seems to have held up for today here in NYC. It will be cool and windy, but also sunny, out at CitiField. Woohoo!

CitiField?!?! does real team actually play there? :cool:

Yeah I am looking to do the same thing this summer.

:( Oh well...

Since you've been there, can you confirm that it is possible to access the lounge upon arrival? I've read that it is in the transit area and it looks like it is possible to reach, but I'm just looking for confirmation (I can't remember if someone else was already able to confirm...).

Morning, Box.

I too will reserve congratulations - I know belynch would appreciate my pragmatism.

You know I have never used the lounge on arrival as I am usuall darting to catch the ICE, but you can use it on arrival they do have shower rooms thereas well

an FYI when you enter the bar is right in front, it is fine for a CRC. Go to the back left corner, it is the quite area, nice comfortable chairs there. The shower rooms are back around there as well.

Enjoy your trip FRA sucks but Deutchland is great!

Does that involve anything like free refills and unlimited expiration dates? :rolleyes:

Thanks for the info! ^

So I am not on the upgrade list for my up-coming flights, I called to add myself, the phone agent acted like it was a cold call.

me--could you please add me to upgrade list
agent--but sir you are on list.
me--I am looking at the list right now, no I am not on the list.
agent--please hold
(5 min)
agent--sir you are on the list
(check list, still not on it) ><
me--thank you, have a great day

I am still discerning whether there is a sweet spot between the 75 seater props and the 733. The 735 just seems more expensive to operate with less benefits, such as the ability to do TATL and ongoing segments during the day. The Avros seem to be an option, but they are not all that cheap to operate per hour.

And luckily all of us do not need to stress over the time of day for our flights, nor passenger comfort. :)

30" pitch? That's for exit rows!

734 and 735 are great replacements for high-demand prop routes - the larger seat count more than makes up for operating costs.

Guys in glass houses....

Seriously, have you been watching the Yankees this year? "Struggling" is an understatement. They've stunk up a few stadiums already this season. And I did visit Yankee Stadium first but I wanted to see both early this season. Plus I got field level seats (4th row inside 1st base) for half price. Hard to complain too much about that.

Annoying, but there is actually nothing the phone folks can do about it anyways. Calling them is really just an exercise in frustration and futility; not worth the wasted breath.

Ensure that you get the engine upgrade when you purchase 735s. That extra million in upfront cost gives them transcon range.
