Geez, that kind of stinks. I was planning on flying into JFK to catch a Yankees game.

You didn't see the Yankees this weekend? They were minutes away from you, playing in downtown Houston.:p

Well, three routes I've flown out of IAH on CO has been cut in the past 2 years. YEG, OAK, and JFK (if true). I hope there isn't any more. :o

How did that series turn out? Can someone from Houston remind me? :D

Direct flight from LAX to IAH tonight - bag didn't make it - our nanny flew NWA connected to CO in DET - her bag didn't make it (she had a three hour layover) are the baggage handlers on strike????

Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows as a kid.

I wonder if this street in London is connected? Probably not, but I had to take the picture anyway. Here's the other street sign at that corner.

How bout some shots of the car without all that extended crap? Ugh.

There used to be a pavilion in Universal Studios where KITT would "talk" to kids while the kid was in the driver's seat. I did it in Universal Hollywood when I was a kid.

And the A-Team van is still cooler. The LA backlot has about a dozen of them sitting there in plain sight for the tour, right as you drive off the rickety bridge, IIRC.

(Yawn)

I got reversed Penalty Boxed last night. After landing at EWR we sat for 45 minutes while our gate opened up. :rolleyes:

About half the plane was ready to revolt as they were, literally, watching their international connections takeoff without them. The other half was ready to revolt because they were playing Celine Dion over the P.A. :mad:

I had this braised beef dish last night (spare rib :confused:). Actually wasn't bad. It was accompanied by the creamy tomato and basil soup. Which seems to be "my" Cheese Soup (although I don't mind it) as I seem to get it on every flight.

Q: for rkkwan (or anyone else) regarding the AVOD. Is there a way to stop the movie (not just pause, but stop) and then rejoin where you left off? The fast forward buttons don't really seem to do much (I think I'm spoiled by TiVo) so if you leave a movie and you want to rejoin you're kinda SOL. I know SQ has this function on their AVOD (rejoin where you left off) - didn't realize how nice it was until I didn't have it.

And, by the way, for anyone tempted by "Semi-Pro" (I only watch Will Ferrell movies on airplanes) - not worth it.

Pretty nice QF deal for LAX-SYD/MEL on their new A380 (468 a/i). The price is tempting but the thought of doing LAX-SYD in the back is extremely painful. Plus, I can't forget the retro pea green look of the Y seats - yuck!

Anyone grab one of these?

EDIT: Earns miles on CO but no EQMs.

I found dates and had my hand hovering over the "buy it" button, but just couldn't do it. For starters, I'm pretty sure I've used up most of my "travel w/o the wife to places she wants to see" points for this year, and I'd also like to actually stop and see Australia rather than just fly out and back, and I don't have the time.

The 15 hours in 31" pitch Y was actually not too much of a concern for me. :eek:

I thought about it, briefly. Then I remembered that SYD-SFO in old UA C was barely tolerable, and came to my senses. I won't be returning there unless it's on a mistake fare, or reward redemption.
