The Blackstone in Chicago has a TV in the mirror itself. Finding the remote next to the sink brought about "really?" and then once turned on it was delightful.

It's actually quite nice to be shaving/dressing with the weather/news/etc on and it visual range.

I think I remember someone talking about booking Virgin tickets EWR-LHR and it showing up as coach (I) but you are really in Business. Does this still apply when your ticket says this:

! There are no First/BusinessFirst/International Business Class seats available on CO8222 in the New York/Newark, NJ (EWR - Liberty) to London, England (LHR - Heathrow) market.

You might have better luck with Starbuck. She, after all, did rise from the dead.

I just saw your post - what hotel is that from?

I just burnt a CR-1 to upgrade ORD-EWR. On a CR7. :rolleyes:

But, it was for Mrs. bdj, and it was going to expire unused by the end of August (already have my upgradeable trips upgraded), so I earn brownie points. :-:

This happens all the time with award bookings on US. :rolleyes:

The first time that I saw it I worked up a sweat getting to the phone to call the CP desk to find out if I had been downgraded. The soft tones of that angel in Carolina assured me that it was just a quirk of the website and not to worry.

Over the years I posted on quite a few panicked threads where the OP was out of his skull with worry. :)

Never going to give Continental.com my credit card information again:

Yes you did!

:rolleyes: And I let you win that one :rolleyes:

got Alex to answer a few funny questions:

You Asked: do you smoke pot
Alex: I work very hard to stay as healthy as I can. This includes not doing drugs.

You Asked: do you have a #%*! top
Alex: Hey, let's keep this clean. Is there something about Continental that I can help you with?

#%*!=muffin top

You Asked: do you eat pink taco
Alex: Hey, let's keep this clean. Is there something about Continental that I can help you with?

You Asked: are you a freak in bed
Alex: I'm sorry you feel that way. Can I help you by answering any questions you have about Continental?

You Asked: do you ski
Alex: I'm always busy answering questions for our customers, which is kind of like a sport.

You Asked: have you ever been to prison
Alex: I like any vacation that saves me money and lets me earn OnePass miles.

You Asked: did michael jackson die
Alex: I like music from all over the world, but my all time favorite band has to be Jefferson Airplane

I just missed a chance at my upgrade tomorrow by eating one of the best dinners in years!

That is, as long as you like truffles :)

I ate at Bourbon Steak(and did not eat steak, I ate the best chicken breast I've had in years!)

It was supposed to be 3 courses, but the chef kept sending out things to me, same price....I'll take it :)

Someone ask Alex..

"i can has cheeseburger?"

How are those two things mutually exclusive? :confused:

Timing of the whole matter :D

I was away dining when our Box Angel offered to fix it for me, but had a time frame to get to work....it was a great offer, but hey the whole trip was worth it for staying here now, even if I fly in Y. I don't mind Y to be honest.

Can I book a reward on any VS flight out of the US or does it have to be the CO codeshares?

its 2-2.5 hours, not a big deal :)
I was in a datacenter, which is a calling deadzone, and now I am sitting in the hottub in a marble room that also seems to be a dead zone.

I have a whole row, I won't die :D

I have called the elite line exactly once, and that was once too many. I see no use of phones generally, unless someone is asking me tech questions and insists on the phone.
