More than half of my FT posts have been in the box. If you remove the AMS thread posts from the equation, that number is actually closer to 75%. :eek::rolleyes:.

That's a lot of :rolleyes:'s.

I'd like to conclude this post with the following proclamation:

:-:The royal penis is clean your highness :-:

Congrats on 4000.


Off to stand in line at the post office in hopes that a card makes it onto CO 76 tonight so it actually gets delivered Monday w/ a the rare shot of delivery tomorrow.

Oh, of course. I was going to plan for ~90 mins of lead time anyway, but just wanted to make sure that they didn't really mean MORE than that...

Deutschland. Specifically, PHL-IAH-EWR-FRA-EWR-PHL. This is the Flight for Shiny Metal #1. :D

Your are checked in for the PHL segment right, just not the Int'l one?

Yes, at least it seems so. I got to grab my exit row seats for 2 out of the 5 segments. However, they didn't give me even the PHL-IAH boarding pass. I guess that's not a huge deal and I can get it at the airport....

I do, yeah. But I won't ruin it for those who don't.

That's the only way I can explain mailing something here in the morning at it being delivered in Bristol the following day. I've also seen a couple of bags that appear to be mail bags get loaded on the plane in the past.

Guy in line in front of me ordered a beer at Monet's (LAX T6) at 0700. And he used dollar coins ^

This was immediately after I (eventually) convinced the GA I should get a breakfast voucher - was confirmed in F at booking, was protected on the third flight in coach despite being elite on a B fare.

Once earned, where do the SPG Free Weekend Night Awards show up?

From the SPG FAQ:

How soon will Free Weekend Night Awards show up in an account?
Free Weekend Night Awards will credit to a member's account within 3–5 days after the second eligible stay posts to the member's Starwood Preferred Guest account.
Does that mean I should see it somewhere or do I just call 5+ days after the second stay posts and assume the agent will be able to see it?

The postal service does not operate any aircraft so mail is sent via commercial aircraft.

I am getting Cabin (or lack of cabin) fever.

I haven't been in a tin tube since March 4th. :eek::rolleyes:

I don't think TA's are obsolete. I used them for a few trips and have been worth the money for sure. Going to Disney, though, I thought that would be cake. :rolleyes:

Every NW plane I've ever flown in in the last 10 years, regardless of type, had dark blue cloth seats. The design on the A-330 is different, but it's still essentially the same color of blue, with just a different pattern. They also all have dark blue carpet.

As for the alcohol in international Y, DL does provide a complimentary glass of wine (not sure about cocktails or beer) with the meal service to passengers in international Y. So it's not like CO, UA, and others where there is no free alcohol in international Y. There's just not an unlimited amount of it.

You probably need a highly experienced and competent Q400 qualified pilot more than the hair dryer. I'd suggest calling Horizon and borrowing one of theirs, since they've been flying the type longer in the US than just about anyone else (and are transitioning to a 100% Q-400 fleet).
