All get in roughly the same time, CLE leaves 30-45 minutes later than the other options. Flight home would be CO via CLE or EWR or non-stop on UA. WWBD?

If you are buying into F train via EWR. If you are buying Y via CLE.

So, it's been about 24 hours since my bag did not come down the shoot unto the belt...

Aside from checking the online thingy, is there much else I can do?

cheepneezy, have you thought about selling your FT handle to Spirit for their new marketing campaign, "We're no Virgin! We've been cheap and easy for years"?

Wow, how? I've been using the DL 5k promo for 5+ day rentals, which has been quite nice! However, I have an few 3-4 day rentals coming up and can't get more than the 500 or 1000 from the CO promo.

A 3-4 day rental would use this current offer.

Miami Spice is running longer than ever, Aug1 to Sept30! I will be taking them up on that.

I can't make it to IAH during the Houston Restaurant week(well I will be there 3 times, but not long enough to dine unless at IAH secure side!)

Can't post it here, because I'm sure I'd get in trouble. But there's one out there from Philadelphia, dated in late April 2008, that involves and encounter in a model train room and imitation crab meat. Google "Mutual touching in the train room" and it won't be difficult to find.

Considering how much worse the economy is in south Florida, they could use Miami Spice all year long.:p

I'm doing Feast next week and will probably go to RDG tonight or tomorrow and then The Grove this weekend.

AA Citi Card approved. Let the churning begin. :D

I just heard from my "insider" friend here at the client that apparently i low-balled my rate WAY too much. :( :mad: I'm not looking forward to renegotiating.

WWTBD

I return from my vacation at 330p. I need to be in ABQ the next day. The only way I can make it there, in time, is if I leave NY at 530 (two hours after I land).

Do I:

Attempt to "break" my award ticket and only fly as far as IAH then just ditch flying back and forth to NY. This means I'd be schlepping my vacation luggage with me. This also leaves the Canuck alone. Not sure if CO would let me do this.

Fly back to NY, as scheduled, then pick-up a small suitcase which I'd stash in my trunk and then fly back to IAH and onwards to ABQ (which means I'd be traveling for about 24 straight hours). I also risk delays going in/out of NY and thus missing my onward connection to ABQ.

Something else? (can't reschedule the ABQ meeting. Have to be there.)
