Well, US used to actually do that in real life. PVG-SHA (28 miles), on the other hand, shouldn't be pulling in 45K.

AM never heard of NJ Transit, or taxi...or anything.

So technically, it is reality, just AM reality.

I doubt they were pulling 20k a day or the route would still be going today....

On the right carrier, F is well worth the mileage premium. There is simply no comparison between a good F product and a good J product. Despite alleged deficiencies in LH's F seat, I would gladly take LH F over any J product I have flown (which includes NZ J, BF, 772LR J on DL, AF J, et. al.).

These are my ratings combining Air & Ground
SQ R
LH F
SQ F
TG F

Right. I think that's what's bothering me.

Had I known AM didn't factor in things like real world market capacity, it only makes sense to locate in dense population bases like the North East or Western Europe.

I guess India would be good too. :rolleyes:

If I don't end up doing CO to HKG I would like to try TG or SQ.

My first AM public worls was hubbed in ACY because I didn't know better at the time. It went well until late in the game when gates around the country were getting scarce and tons of players descended on ACY. One of the public world airports that always seems to run out of gates for some reason is AMA.

I know i stopped in ORD because i remember going through the tunnel.

You can also call Mileage Plus and ask them for a "data purge". They will print out all of your history and mail it to you.

Only for C/D now. I was amazed that they have a tram and walkway for A/B. One of these days UA will have a decent terminal.

Indeed it is I.

As for the discussion on Starnet. One point to keep in mind. All the other * members avoid UA like the plague as it's a hit or miss product. I suspect CO will have a better reception and thus not be so much in the red on rewards negating the need for blocking.

On a SPG note, does anyone know how SPG treats stays at multiple properties on the same night? Do they have any issue with it?

AMA is big enough that there is a lot of demand to just about every destination.
