I always thought the most direct routing was required. Why can't we go to Asia via Europe like everyone else is that considered backtracking or something?

I will call them tomorrow again to book this. I have to go to work now, so I don't have time for their nonsense.

I don't think it is considered backtracking, it just isn't allowed.

What is defined as the most direct routing, anyway? For example, I have SIN-ICN-ORD-DTW-DCA without issue. I think most direct routing means that I cannot go SIN-ICN-HKG-EWR-DCA or SIN-ICN-BKK-NRT-DTW-DCA, but it does not mean that you should be forced to go nonstop to HKG without using ICN. I think the most direct routing purported rule is meant to limit huge backtracks, like SIN-ICN-HKG-EWR.

Perhaps today is the day I'll get to try out HOU-DFW on an AT7. It hasn't rained for a month, so I doubt weather will wreck my plans this time...

Depends on how hot it gets before your flight. May be weight restricted.

It certainly seems to be open to some interpretation. I wonder if your SIN-ICN-HKG-EWR routing would be valid if HKG was your one stopover (consider that no ST partner flies SIN-HKG).

The RIAA v The Mom from MN has resulted in :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: for all.

And yet the RIAA still insists they are willing to settle for a much smaller amount ... Wonder how much her awful lawyer is costing her.

Am I correct in remembering that someone recently posted about the C->B bus at IAH no longer running? I'll need to do this transfer next week and want to know if we need to just take the TerminaLink.

I applaud her for standing up to the :rolleyes: that is the RIAA. Her lawyer clearly fails at life, but if I were here I would just walk across the hall and declare bankruptcy.

Fortunately, with my most recent complex reward, I had a competent agent book it and reached only one incompetent agent during the course of the three changes I made to it. My last two redemptions involved multiple agents, multiple supervisors, and multiple hours on the phone.

Sounds about right. The last time I had to call CO, I called the peon line and got in an argument over what constitutes a 12-hour period. I could legitimately call Executive Accounts, but I only bother them when I'm stealing exit rows from Elites.

According to the IAH map it is not running. I believe someone here also reported that it was not running.

I think she wanted the publicity and the inevitable press attention. She'll give any proceeds from her life story / media tour to the IRS, followed by paying her lawyer, forwarding the remainder to the RIAA, then still declare bankruptcy.

It was definitely running in mid-may when I took the shuttle to A.

I'm not sure it was ever on the map, was it?
