If you have a Costco near you, check them out. they have a good range of backpacks at the moment (back to school time). I have a Janssport one I bought from there a couple of years ago that I use on my MRs. It's sturdy, lots of space, light, and best of all it was only $14.99. Bargain!

That's a long MH segment to not get usable miles on, IMO.

Have you tried MH long haul? They appear to use the same J seats as KE.

Yes, I did EWR-ARN-KUL and back a couple of times.
It looks very similar, the distance between seats was huge on MH.

The service was excellent, and the food was very good.
The duvet blanket was so good I tried to buy it.

Wow, I had no idea. Too bad they're pulling that flight. Only other place in the States you can get them will be LAX, on LAX-TPE-KUL.

I wouldn't say he was a target. He was a victim of a random crime who happened to be a reporter. Scary either way.

I'll keep that in mind! The better half's mother has a Costco membership, so maybe I'll tag along with her.

I wanted to make my comment sarcastic in nature. I know he wasn't a target. If he was, it would make me feel differently. Though, the perp took a chance, since I'll bet a lot more people in Houston are carrying compared to a lot of other cities.
