Has anyone been to Seattle's Museum of Flight?

If so, (i) do you think that non-aviation fans would find it worthwhile to visit, and (ii) how much time would you recommend one plan on spending there?

I have been there, and I think a non-aviation fan would probably find it somewhat interesting. The airpark has a 747-100, 737-100, 727, Concorde and one of the old 707 AF1s that you can walk around (you can walk through the AF1 and Concorde). The museum itself tells the history of flight and has many planes and exhibits to look at. I'm not much for these types of museums, so I only spent about an hour in there but if you read and look at everything, you could probably spend half a day in there.

At the 120k level, I can't use CO on the TPAC segment to connect to KE (or KE to connect to CO on TPAC), correct?

For some reason, I keep forgetting how this ridiculous rule works... :rolleyes:

My trip to CWB next week got postponed to August. Nice to know the rush expense to get a Brazilian visa in time was well-spent. :rolleyes:

I get to go to the MLI area instead. Instead of chocolate, I now get to work with meat. And, instead of ~15K EQMs, I get 400 miles of driving past corn fields.

I'm :rolleyes: at the inability of CO to combine Plat Reward availability with other standard rewards. That kept me from doing IAH-MEX-TIJ-NRT; NRT-ATL-DFW-IAH this weekend. IAH-MEX had only Plat F cabin availability at standard redemption rates.
