How accurate is the PDA site when it comes to telling you if a cabin is full? Im on flight 70 on Friday and currently have the isle's in the middle leaving a middle seat open but it says coach is full. Do you recomend me switching to a row of 2 so we will not have to sit next to someone? Also, CO.com is still selling coach tickets so is it really full?

I would still stay in the middle section that way the middle seat occupant has another way to get out. Besides, the middle can stay free with misconnects, no shows, etc.

Fozz, in your spare time I highly recommend the Best of Jim Norton audiobooks on iTunes - I have volumes 1-4, 6 and 9 and they are vintage Jimmy.

In the final piece of news from Holland, I am highly upset at local bar nonavailability of Ketel One in its country of manufacture.

That's what I've done in the end. I was going to lay plywood on the driveway and then shift them forward but that would be a pain. This did force me to clean stuff out of my car. Find two books of forever stamps was ace. A couple of cassest that haven't been played in years and many worthless receipts. I used black gaffers tape and it looks like I have a blacked-out window now. :rolleyes:

Looks like I get to watch toilets flush backwards!

Woo hoo -- that's great! Now, you're all set for GIG!

Is it the normal humid?

[SIZE=1]I have found that seat count is not as important as range. DelNorTalia owns 8 763ER's, and I realized recently that I could have more planes and commanded more profit had I done more route analysis and not just maxed out the range because I could. Had I bought 762 or 762ER's originally, my route structure would be very different.

I bought a couple of 763ERs early on, but now I have 35 762ERs (including 3 on order) vs 4 763ERs. I find very few markets that the 763s are more profitable, while they cost significantly more.

I just got off the phone with the ESD and they thought it may be since I need to scan my passport. But I already did that, so she had no idea. It could be the verification of the visa.

But, interestingly, she said there are two waitlists. One for airport control and then the one we see. She said I was on the airport one. I'm not sure how much I believe this. sfogate any thoughts?

If you're not showing on the PDA site, you're not on the airport upgrade list. I am also assuming that EDS is looking at the EUA list.

Humidity. It's usually at around 70-90 %.

I love your description of Waikiki. Right on. ^

Also, the trade winds make a huge difference. A light to moderate trade makes the humidity of Hawaii much more bearable.

The PDA site is very accurate. The reason why you are still able to purchase tickets is because the booking level is not yet up to the overbooked level set for the flight. Remember there is full and then there is bump time. :D
