Yes, but who wants to sit on a 737 for that whole distance? (nice usage of "Me" there! ^)

Well, I do fly (SkyTeam partner) a lot - 47 flights this year after Central NJ Mini Do. However, the conversation moves just a little more quickly over here.

It's OK to say Delta in here. You won't be stuck by lightening or anything... :D

Delta. Delta. Delta.

It isn't the whole distance, it is a stop in PTY and then on :D I seriously don't mind as long as it is in first.

IIRC, notabob did PTY-EZE in F on CM and said it was long. I'd actually prefer to stick to a 772/762 - even if it meant sitting in the back (:eek:).

Speaking of notabob, I haven't seen him around here for a while...

:D

I guess I'm just easy to impress because I haven't been ruined by the spoils of lots of international front cabin...if it's an F seat and the booze is still free, I'd consider it.

I must admit I was impressed on my AMS trip - NW on the way over and DL on the way home. However, I was not impressed enough to make ATL my connecting point of choice or switch my loyalty to an airline that loves to charge me 3x CO's price every time I consider flying them.

I know it's overated. How about the lottery then? Did anyone win Powerball on Saturday? I might reach my $ amount to justify the drive to PA to get a couple of tickets next week if no one won.

Here's a DEQM cry. I'm doing a transcon with the return flight on June 15, its a reward ticket. :( No chance for a bump like last year and that sweat $500 voucher. It seems I will have lie-flat coach seats both ways at least.

He no-showed AM 2.0 - I thought for sure he'd at least get himself established.

You could take EWR-LIM which is EUA-able and uses a 752 and then connect to Taca, Lan or Aero Lineus Argentina.

They should be in *A next year.

I would not go in the back of the bus at all, but up front ^ even on a 737.

I am not FOND of the 737 F but it isn't bad and I can sleep in it (I can sleep in an exit row too!)

I've done BF travel, and will be doing a lot more, ironically on the trip to Europe in BF I did not get a wink of sleep, between just tossing and turning around and severe turbulence, however on the way back I slept from Ireland to Halifax :D

I wish I had jumped on some of those cheap CO fares to LIM. Although, I'm thinking of throwing in the towel on some of my CO travel for the rest of the year. I'm looking for good deals on UA as I need to start padding that BD account and putting my Star Gold lounge access to use...

Also - post 5,500 - but, I don't think I'm supposed to celebrate that one.

Being rocked to sleep by turbulence is one of my favorite ways to fall asleep. :D
