I'm 2/2 on upgrades for my last minute EWR-LAX run that only cost me $220. ^ to transcon breakfast and lunch!

Now I just need to decide if I'm going to go or just cancel the ticket...

Awesome. That's a feat in itself.

Anyone else watching/care about the Champions League final? As a neutral, this should be a good game...

Im happy with the result, but the game was so hyped and it was good for 10 minutes , then horrible until Barzelona scored again and then Man U just started to foul everyone.

Can anyone in Houston recommend a nanny? We need one for part-time work. Wednesdays through Fridays from 12pm-6pm. Some weekends, and some Mondays and Tuesdays as needed. We need someone to take care of this almost 7 month old child. We're located in Midtown. Please PM me if you know someone who could fit the bill. Salary is negotiable. Sorry for the spam. The picture should make up for it. :cool:

Weekend MR now 3/4 in FC. :D

Still waiting for IAH-LGA to clear, but that has usually been a good flight for me.

I don't think there will be any bump opportunities this weekend. :(

That's awesome! ^

This almost sounds like you are saying that you'll give her permission to fly US by the end of the year :D;)

IIRC, you booked this as a mileage run (unneeded perhaps but still a MR) - is there any cushier same day MR around during DEQM?

The next flight is in 4 hours and it doesn't look good.

She now knows not to be a "good little standby customer".

I was going to offer her a guest into the club tomorrow if she is still there.

:D My best friend couldn't believe it when I used that term. Whenever I talk to her from an airport she'll ask me "Are you in the club or have you lowered yourself to be with us gate lice" :rolleyes::D

Glad to hear that about Tripp! I may never catch up on the box from this weekend so how was the trip with your aunt?

my husband

I think I sold my aunt on the benefits of the club this past weekend. We had a great time except no op-up for either of us on the flights! :( Oh well, have all the upgrades for this summer and ready for Tokyo!!

Need to work on updating Flight Memory!

I will say that the food and beverage offerings on my flights were some of the best I have had. Well off to pack and get on a plane.

Yes, it would be an unneeded MR. I told myself that if neither upgrade cleared, I would cancel and not go. Now that upgrades have cleared, I'm leaning towards going. It would be nice to catch up on some reading and still make it home in time for the other commitments I have this weekend.

Oh, and to answer your question - outside of a major mistake F fare, I can't think a cushier same day run... :)

Nice!! IAH-LGA went out last Saturday (that 6:something pm flight, right? 732 I think) with 5 empty F seats, so hopefully that's a good sign for you.

What route are you flying? I was thisclose to getting a bump in SJC last weekend...

Thanks for the offer. She's on her way here. Her original flight ended up being diverted to PHX due to a medical emergency. I guess there is always a reason why things happen the way they do. She now knows to never be a nice little non-rev and to turn on her phone between flights.

...no, but aren't my year's worth of pay stubs from NJ (not to mention the taxes I filed) part of the public record and therefore discoverable by a prosecutor?

BTW, I have learned more from you guys in a single day than I ever thought was possible. I'm sorry to have kept monopolizing box conversation, but I REALLY REALLY appreciate all the help. Thank you so much!!
