Had my Brother and Sisster in law in this past weekend. They are still pushing me to go to Brazil. I looked at fares and the upgradable ones are expensive but may need to look at the free tickets. I just dont want to do coach on that trip.

I'm going to Brasil on BF award tkt (6/24 - 7/4) -- can't wait!

mnmag and sbm12, I saw you were signed up for the Brooklyn Realty Tour this weekend. I just found out about it, signed up, and paid. See you there :)

Yep, I saw that you just signed up. Just opening up my FT exposure, since I'm still new to FT! Problem is that I'm not feeling well today -- my son is sick w/what is a flu virus -- nooo, not the flu virus. So, I hope I'm not coming down w/what he's got!

Looking forward to meeting you!

I believe that's how they list 178 miles direct deposit into your continental account.

Kroger carries the standard Biscoffs along with the chocolate ones which can occasionally be found at the SkyClubs.

Nice. ATL kind of an option for coming home from the LH Do - it doesn't time to the ACY flight, but I can get to PHL same-day.

MCO doesn't work without an overnight.

What is the specific gripe about the LH 343? The Guru seems to say that it has some of the roomier Y seats in the LH fleet.

I have a 2 week supply courtesy of the DL club in SAN. (I took them when they were not watching).

I thought I read on here that a couple of you are using VOIP with your alarm system at home. Can anyone elaborate? We are thinking of going with straight DSL or U-verse service and getting VOIP. But, we need to make sure our alarm will work with VOIP. I used to have lingo.com and liked it. I don't know if it will work with our alarm.

I will have to check out Kroger's the next time I'm in VA -- have never tried the choc biscoffs!

My wife is headed to Kroger after work. I'll have her look for them this evening. I hope Houston area Kroger stores carry them.

I believe most of the 343s still have overhead video monitors in Y. Perhaps that is the reason for the gripe?

I shouldn't be surprised that I'm running into loads of problems in looking at booking a goofy way to get home from FRA. I wanted to try to get more new lines and/or dots out of it, but since I'm trying to do the opposite of normal and fly too far back west to double back east, I guess I deserve the timing problems that I'm running into. I'm smart enough to avoid routes that are served on 744's, as I'd like to get a 343 or 346. This isn't worth the trouble...I'm sticking to PHL on the 333.

Should anyone want it for geekery purposes, I have the complete list of what equipment LH uses to all of its US gateways thanks to this little project. Six of the eight 333's that they own are on routes to the States. Useless fun fact for the day.

Lest one thinks I'm making up the chocolate Biscoffs. As a guide - in one of my Kroger markets, they are located in the bakery; in the other, it's by the crackers in the cookie aisle.

You could always try to fly into ORD or DTW. Those are places where you can likely get a cheap seat back to PHL in advance and will net you some additional EQMs.

Is it a done deal that we're flying back from FRA? I remember hearing something it may change to MUC since that is where the moderator DO is.

I don't have a specific gripe with the 343 that LH uses, in fact, I kind of like it. The cool factor though, is the 346 with the lavs downstairs.

The only plane I will not fly in the back on ever again is the 744, talk about uncomfortable. LH just does not understand the necessity of not feeling like cattle for 12+ hours.
