I think we should have a box field trip to Europe or South America (southern hemisphere for ALCO) for a weekend next year. The BRU DO looked like it was fun, from the pics that were posted.

We've discussed, in passing, a Box DO in Argentina hosted by our own rolov.
I will probably plan another European DO in early 2010 as well...

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...

I think once I fully understand this Q-up and BD crediting I will get a match from them and start flying UA.
Once you're BD Gold, the earnings are: 0- 55k miles are credited at 325% RDM/EQM for UA QUP fares. 55k+ are credited as 625% RDM only. You stop earning EQMs at 55k.

Sometime next year I am going to attempt to redeem a series 17 award in business class and will definitely require the professional services of the Box with routings/airlines. I know I want to visit Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Hong Kong (would prefer VS LHR-HKG), Bangkok and maybe a stop in Fiji or Hawaii.

They are still out there. Look at SFO-LIM. TPA-ONT at $540 in F is one of the best UA deals out there.
I should give TPA-ONT another look now that positioning costs to FL should be a bit lower... Off to ITA! |
Morning B:rolleyes:x. And grats CM.

Pretty classy flyover at Indy, two B-25s.

Not really, at this point the routes are very limited where C or F redemptions are allowed due to their award restrictions for non SQ KF members. No west coast to SIN since the LAX-NRT-SIN flight will be going 77W.
Everyone expects the JFK-SIN route to get the downgrade to 77W, so the only real options are AMS-SIN on 772 or intra asia. |

Aren't the mileage requires for a RTW with Star much higher?
While a RTW is fun to piece together, I'm still not sure I'm convinced it is worth the miles unless you have at least 3+ weeks to make 5-6 stops. |

The best flyovers, IMO, are the Heritage Flights. I have a shot as a USAF Heritage passed right over me...got the bellies of an F-16, F-15 Strike, and two P-51's, one of which in WWII stripes. I'd personally like to see Glacier Girl get in on the Heritage Flight tour, but that's really wishful thinking.

Yeah, could you tell that the sponsorship $$$ dried up? I heard that in planning meetings and was like :rolleyes:. On a related note, during one of the Detroit races I escorted the crew dog on the ground who carried the suitcase with the tracking locator and radio. We timed it perfectly! ^^

I wanted to come to BNA instead of ATL for when my mother and I did the Devils road game trip. We had to go to the market that would accept her industry tickets. EWR-BNA at something like 9 weeks out was selling for $1,116 on an H fare...on an ERJ.

Just out of curiousity, would you settle for BNA-CLE being on a Q400?

Those fares are slightly worse than free on industry tickets. ;) And the mainline service that icurhere2 wants is that of CO.

One of the many questionable aspects of the golf thread is that the NRT flight leaves at 11:00 am. Who has a wedding reception at 11:00 am? The earliest reception I can remember attending began at 4:30 pm (and lasted until 2:00 am).
