How much are the TATL Z fares again? $1400? I might not even take LH on the TATL - trying to decide that now.

Im trying to decide that as well, I may look at award options to and from FRA.

On the assumption that the accounts will eventually merge it makes a tiny bit of sense. But not much otherwise.

:rolleyes: is rooling through NJ. From the constant rumble I hear approaching, this is going to be a doozy.

Yes "Thuderstorms are approaching EWR. Will CO match?"

It is likely that I will just use a reward or buy a coach ticket for the TATL. I really don't feel like shelling out $2400-$2800 just for the airfare, no matter how good a value it is, given that I have three other personal European trips to take between now and January.

I think I may go back to IAD-JFK-ZRH-FRA (stopover)-EZE-FRA-ZRH-JFK-IAD.

The costs are really annoying but without the charter you don't get the EWR or JFK events. And I want to attend those.

I do like the European routing for EZE; would you spend time there or just do it for the flights?

No, no, no. It's "Thunderstorms are approaching EWR. Will IAH match?" ;)

Agreed. I really don't want to see DC go away.

I think i'm about set to lock in my itin as JFK-FRA-MUC-SFO-JFK.

Unless someone can give me a compelling reason to do MUC-LAX instead.

Does anyone know if we'll be able to use UA SWUs to get into F since this would be a paid C tix?

It appears that UA SWUs are valid for upgrades into F, at least based on the UA rules. :)

Thunderstorms approaching EWR...will IAH match, and no, no one cares about CLE.

EBS has been activated for NE Jersey. I was on the edge so not much for me.

ConciergeMike Jul 29, 2009 12:01 pm

Hot and sunny down here on Teh Shore. Looks like the :rolleyes: is going to skirt north of me.

I'm only doing LAX because I have a buddy to visit there and because it is more miles. If I were just going on my own I'd rather spend time in SFO.

And, yes, the UA SWUs should move you into F on the day of departure, assuming inventory.
