I can't seem to find Philadelphia 30th street station in the airport directory. I know it's not a "flight" but the train does carry a CO flight number so I was going to put it in there.

Any ideas?

You can submit ZFV to the FM people and explain why you want it listed, and they might put it in the database. Tail numbers can be found if you are so inclined by using ACARS or BTS reports.

Who in the NJ crowd wants to do WestJet to a Leafs-Devils game? NHL schedule should be out soon.

I'm back!

After 36+ hours of flying and lounging in airports throughout the world I got home this morning. Had a great trip to SEA and NRT.

I must say FT has changed travel for me. Was checking in at NRT and turned around and was like, I know that guy. GeoffCO was there ready to check in as well. We went lounge hopping in NRT. Had a good flight over and back in BF and got companion upgrade SEA-IAH (of course it was a Tuesday night redeye). I wont try to catch up on the box!

Hope all is well with everyone!

In one month or so, you can do the same thing again... in Europe. I believe the go by day/month/year.

Is 90 minutes enough of a connection in CDG for switching between 2F1 and 2E? NCE-CDG-EWR.

Too bad it happened 2 years ago in Canada.

I know there's debate about this, but I like the amount of time allotted for vacation in Europe.^

Some French guy said once that the utopian minimum for vacation should be 180 days per year. I am inclined to agree.

So the French can work even less in a day? To heck with that noise.

I don't actually have a job but I am living - funny how that works, eh?

I'm a theater person, I would do what I do even if I didn't get paid. It's a career and I put in the hours as needed but no one wants me to clock in/out and no one tells me what my job is or my responsibilities. I do what I do, am good at it, and people give me money because of that.

Now the French.. those crazy folks have seemingly no work ethic and everything is met with a "I'm so put out by even being here.." type attitude. The most true observation noted on my recent visit to Paris was that they could be thoroughly raping tourists even more then they currently are if they bothered to stay open. They simply don't. I'm not sure if the French merely have no work ethic or no aspirations in life, but they are quite content for everything to be just barely enough to get by. Good enough is not good enough for me.

People give me money just for thinking that.
