The exact details of that have not been posted yet, but like sbm12 said, prediction was around 1800 USD for C.

Not cheap, but a nice deal none the less.

Note to self: sell some damn business so the accountant provides flexibility. Our maybe figure a way to right it off!

Not so bad. So everybody in C comes out of this with about 27,000 EQMs. Now a question: Do you think that either, or both of the flights will carry elite bonus RDMs? Or maybe none at all??

May not be a bad idea to start the FRA DO in ORD.

DCA-ORD on 11/2, ORD-EWR on 11/3 is $200 RT on UA (open jaw)

DCA-EWR oneway on CO is $275.

Train is cheaper - but not a big hit to start at ORD. Plus ORD hotels are cheaper on 11/2 then EWR.

Others from East coast likely can get same kind of open jaw.

The fun begins!

I almost through my monitor out the window trying to book flights on delta.bomb. It kept telling me that my name and onepass number did not match, but had no issues when I added it after the fact.

All worth it, however, getting high fare classes on the outbound and paid first one of the return flights. All NW metal and DL is selling it for hundreds less.

Plus, I get to experience the E175 for the first time. ^^

LMAO. (I'm sure that FA really wanted to slap her.)

The charter flights will not.

I suppose CO could be planning on changing their earning scheme to get rid of elite RDM bonuses on partner flights but I'd be surprised if that happened.

And I'm probably going to plan the return flight via the west coast. I can add in the p.s. segment home for only $150 (or try to find one cheaper elsewhere - maybe VX) on top of the fare they've offered. That would be nice and quite a few extra miles. :cool:

I suspected something was up at the Retrojet thing at EWR the other week. Jeff acted "more in charge" than in the past and Larry seemed a bit more back seat than in the past.

Nothing against Smisek, but I'm not sure this change is going to be good for CO...
