Only things I can think of: A) clueless agent B) obscure rule prohibiting something or other on the KE side of things.

You're generally allowed one open jaw and one stopover. In this case there is no open jaw. The trip is to HKG and he wants a stop (more than 24 hrs) in NRT. That is certainly within the stated rules. The question is what arcane and unstated rules are preventing him from booking this.

You know my last name. Look at any NFL team roster and you'll get the reason why that mistake could be made. Also the same reason why I get mail from the various temples in the Spring and September and why people think it's Irish when it's actually English.

Had a good day today. Went with my father and my daughter to NASA's Space Center Houston. A nice dinner, and received a call from my possible new boss about submitting information for a background check. ^ The job fairy is circling over southeast and central Texas. ^ :)

My father is scheduled to fly IAH-FLL tomorrow on CO 1748. It is a Directv flight! But, he probably won't spend $6 to watch. Oh well. Does our magic 8 ball know if this flight can offer up a VDB? I could use a babysitter for one more night. :cool:

Actually quite tasty.

You put that in your mouth? I'd rather eat wet singles collected from the NJ Tollway. :eek:

We d:rolleyes:n't have a "Tollway" in NJ. We have a Turnpike!

No , but I will be sure to stop there after I return to that side of the planet.

Time to head out into the heat, good night over there.

Don't slip on the condensation on the bathroom floor (I actually did in PTY, May 2008)

D'oh - I reversed the definition of stopover. :o

My father started out his tenure with the New Jersey Turnpike collecting tolls. He told me when I was old enough to be revolted by it (which I still am...there's one profession and one profession ONLY that can get away with it) that he used to get a certain demographic thru the toll booths that would hand him the sweat-moistened and warm dollar bills from the good old cleavage bank.

PTY is high on my list, especially after hearing of the joint adventures of sbm12 and fozz.

I must thank CO for the weekend specials - who flies from CLE to SDF?
