Thanks! And the link works for me. Downloading now on the EWR C-120 PC Wi-Fi. Might take a while… Glad I've got a couple of hours.

"Yes. I'd like to borrow the Eskimo for the day. Yeah, you know, the one on AS livery. By the way, what is that thing on the Horizon livery?"

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.

Right, but NW (thanks to the KL arrangement) has had free booze, not just the one wine. That is going to go away which is likely what the FA was noting.

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

From the SPG FAQ:


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?

Who knows? I'm going to need to redeem one of those free nights soon, for early June, so I'm hoping the stay that ended yesterday that gets me the free night will post quickly.

Thanks. It's going to be very weird having free time in the evenings for a few months. Fact that the wedding is next week and that I don't have to cram 1000 pages/week of :rolleyes: into my head hasn't fully sunk in yet. I'm sure it will soon, over a nice St. Bernardus. :D

Shanghai Y-10 is a pig of an aircraft. Looks like I'll be spending the extra $20M for Tu-154Ms.

Yeah, I'm looking to redeem one now as well. I don't see any mention of it in my account, so I will probably have to call and hope for the best.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think it is power tools day for MBM3! Thanks to the dogs, shade and a tough winter I have some nasty bare patches of lawn and a couple gardens that need to be turned. Time for some gas powered outdoor tool fun!

Home Depot here I come!

I thought spending 800MM EUR was hard the first time around. Now I have that much in the bank again to spend on planes and gates. Hmmmmm...might be time to start serving the city pairs that I've been staying away from on aircraft utilization grounds.

Congrats my friend! And I didn't know the wedding was next week - take a deep breath and enjoy the ride!

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:

Me neither. I feel sorry for the biz travel types who do think that way because they do not have a competent agent to help them in many cases.

There's a line I thought I'd never see written in The Box. :D

AM v2.0 update: COFreqFlyer has joined the fun, so seven spots remain. I'm playing catchup today and have a wedding tomorrow, so I was thinking about starting the new world sometime next week. Any preferences/objections on start times?
