One of the (many) incarnations of the Honeymoon itinerary had us staying there for an overnight. The SU BKK-SVO flight left just early enough in the morning that I didn't want to chance a misconnect TG---->SU on the first flight of the day from HKT.

Is there much to see/do in Dallas? I've never been outside of DFW but (for some strange reason) have always considered checking out the area for a quick weekend trip.

This posts reminded me that I'm missing some AA flights on my FM...

Sorry for the extended :rolleyes:. I haven't even got the pics from our other room at the W Seoul uploaded yet. :o

Dallas is the only city in the U.S. that sucks more than Teh Festering Pit.

What did you end up doing instead ?

HKT-BKK-NBO-JNB-CPT. About 30 hours of multi-alliance flying that did its part to contribute to marital bliss.

:rolleyes:

We're in a Fantastic room (non-suite) so the pictures you have posted so far give me a good idea of what that will be like. The river views and jacuzzi tub (both also in the Fantastic rooms) look excellent! I still need to PM you with a few DMZ tour questions...

I'm still looking forward to seeing the KE J seat (since we'll be spending over 14 hours in that) and some more pictures of the LM KL. ^

So you did go thru BKK, just not overnight
Which lounge did you use in BKK for a ST carrier ?

Is this deal any good? I have a friend who wants to visit NYC. He lives in COS, but DEN is a short drive away.

I can comment on Fort Worth, where I am living temporarily Monday-Thursdays. :)

Fort Worth is pretty cool - the downtown area is small and has a lot of nice places to eat, outdoor entertainment on Wednesday nights (bands), and the stockyards are a short drive, and are kind of like a step back in time. There is a Renaissance hotel downtown (where I'm currently living) that is pretty nice (for a Marriott).

I've also found the people here to be extremely friendly. Other than being Texas-hot, it is a good place.

In Dallas, I've stayed at the W - which has an open-air pool about half-way up the building. I'm not a huge W fan, but it wasn't bad.

Be sure to call the USO Tour folks at least two weeks before your intended tour date, to lock in a reservation.

IIRC, the gym is on the same floor as the pool of the W.

KE lounge. Looked like all SkyTeam carriers were using the KE lounge. Oddly enough, the KE lounge was plastered with AF memorabilia.

Who in their right mind would assume that NZ has all of a sudden cleared their pax to go nude just because some cabin staff did a body paint video? Has global reasoning power dwindled that low?

Agreed. The roads and traffic are terrible with drivers who are much more likely to shoot you.


Fort Worth is nice and there is some stuff to see there. The only time I'd go to Dallas for fun is to visit friends or for the state fair and the UT/Okie game.
