Looks like CO is targetting me with a 'Return to Luxury' BF ad, about knowing how great it is already....

You already know about the luxuries of our award winning BusinessFirst service, but did you know that you can fly BusinessFirst to Europe this summer from $1,796* round-trip? Whether you’re traveling for business of pleasure, don’t let these fares take-off without you.

Looks like UA no longer deploys CR7s on SFO-ONT. :rolleyes:

They had to steal 'em for BUR-DEN.

Look at the bright side, CRJs are some of the best bump opportunities.

I got one of those too.

I'm guessing BF loads are really light. Maybe they'll open up some reward inventory. :rolleyes:

The only bumps I've gotten this year involved being paid to not fly a CRJ, which is perfectly fine by me.

The prices aren't as good as last year, I got my trip to GVA last year for about $400 less.... I mention this specifically because I booked it about this time last year. (June 18)

No, though only one FA took it the wrong way. The rest of the thread has actually been decently entertaining and farcical.

Time to start prepping dinner for tonight....surf & turf fajitas with all the trimmings, including fresh lime juice in the margaritas. :D

I made chorizo and crab quesadillas with fresh avocado cilantro slaw last week. Excellent. :D

The battle with AirTran is won. Only took three phone calls and telling the final agent about four times what flights I wanted and why I was calling and not booking online to get it done. But it's done. One roundtrip ATL-BOS award ticket is booked, for 16 A+ credits, $5 in tax, and $40 in exit row :rolleyes: fees.

Now for the important question: Will ATL-BOS create a new FM line?

Sounds good - baglady was intrigued when I told her I made scallop quesadillas one night.

Agreed. I took advantage of searching around a bit when I linked out of the email. IIRC prices were also about $400 less out of CLE to Europe last year this time.

No, I've done that route on DL a few times way back when, mostly on 762s.

From past World Cup experience, you sign up and have to submit a credit card, if you are selected for tickets they charge you.
There are individual matches or Team Specific packages.

Snagged four tix for Match 29 and Match 39.

:D

I am slowly making my rounds of Redneckistan, now that you no longer seem to be frequenting the lean-tos that pass for airports in certain parts of Texas and Louisiana. GGG down, TXK, TYR & AEX on the horizon...

I'm still trying to figure out how to work MLU and AEX into some of my trips to Baton Rouge. I might be able to pick up SHV if I can convince my client to do a training on site at their campus in Shreveport.

I hope to pick up the remaining LA area airports (I've only got LAX and SNA) later this year, thanks to my LA client. Those trips will also be key to me easily renewing my UA status.
