Indeed. I've now discovered that FI has cheap one-ways ex-Scandinavia. Then there's always the oddball Europe-US flights on airlines like KU, 9W, AI, etc...

Is IAH-LGA for $288 (r/t) a good deal? I don't know NYC fares so it seems reasonable to me.

When I fly out of LGA I'm either 2 hours early or 2 hours late. I can never hit the 1 hour before just right. What's sad about this is that my office is only 20 minutes (w/out traffic) away. |
Cue the Richard Strauss music…
I never understood the term “evangelist” in its contextual use on FlyerTalk. The marketing people talk about “brand evangelists”, and of course there is the original Fab Four: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. (:p) I don’t have a marketing background. I’m generally not a fan of religion. That leaves me wishing for a different word. “Evangelism” is, by dictionary definition, the act of a Christian explaining their beliefs to a non-Christian. The Greek word translates to “I bring a message.” The message that I have brought in my 10,000 posts is clear: I have spread the gospel of The Box and of :rolleyes:, along with humor, sarcasm, and genuine help wherever possible. I pray to Joe Pesci that I have done this in a way that meets with the approval of the peers and friends I have gained thru my participation here. To any enemies I’ve made or those who would wish ill upon me, I have this to say: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/f...kpostimage.jpg While sometimes I write posts that make me look like I’m doing: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-...ertson_pat.jpg I try not to come across as such all the time. And I would certainly like to believe that my name cannot be substituted for the one in this cartoon: http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/...personator.jpg I have never, that I know of, been reduced to http://images.askmen.com/top_10/dati...displays_3.jpg …because of FlyerTalk. I’ve never been that drunk in anyone’s presence. I look forward to many more Do/Meet/Thing appearances and coordinations, along with hopefully a reason in life to fly as much as some of y’all do. You only get one shot on this planet, and if my map ends up looking like some of the ones in The Box by the end, I’ll leave this circus as pleased as possible. I only ask that The Box as a collective entity never let me wake up to anything resembling this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OC0qjh8WXC...ye%2BBaker.jpg Here’s to another 10K. Bottoms up. ^ 72.21% of my participation on FT has been in Teh Box. Best wishes for that percentage being the same or higher going forward. |
But, what if I don't like Richard Strauss?
Nice, Mike. ^ |

No, but that reminds me, I'll be doing the PC tour the next few weeks if any Boxers are around (I always seem to miss the IAH crowd by a couple hours). The schedule is: 8/10 LGA PC 4p - 5p IAH PC (not sure which one) 815 - 9p 8/13 IAH PC (not sure) 1145a - 1p 8/15 (can't guest will be with Canuck) EWR C 530a - 630a CLE (first time in the hublet on CO :-:) 750a-830a IAH (who knows) 1030a -1115a 8/27 (can't guest) IAH 925a - 1030a |
