BD is the greatest thing since :rolleyes:. 150,000 mi = IAH-ORD(x)-IST(o)-CAI(x)-JNB(x)-WDH; WVB-CPT(x)-LHR; HEL-ARN(o)-ORD(o)-IAH

http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gcmap?PAT...EL-ARN-ORD-IAH

Four new carriers: (Turkish, EgyptAir, Blue1, SAS, and I'll likely book Air Namibia and Finnair for purchased connecting flights)
Two new equipment-types: (A340-200, Avro RJ85)
All new lines, with the exception of IAH-ORD.

Clearing out a mileage balance never felt so :-:

But then your doing the FLL run, so doesn't that add back to that mileage balance?

BD sounds like a great program, but with CO entering the *A I'm stuck on what to do. I can keep earning *A miles with CO or move everything to BD but there are no domestic benefits with doing that.

Thoughts?

Boycott CO and OP until they change the program to reflect BD. @:-)

Ugh -- Payroll taxes are quite :rolleyes:

Screw you Hilton. I refuse to spend 10 min. trying to book a room. :mad::mad::rolleyes:

BD Golds get lounge access, even on domestic UA/US flights. They also get priority boarding. You won't get EUAs, but if you fly enough Q-UPs at 3cpm, you'll already be flying in F, and can just earn enough to burn for vacation flights up front. There's almost always at least one decent (3-4cpm) transcon Q-UP floating around out there, on either UA or US.

IME, op-ups to E+ on UA as a *G have been fairly common, despite it not being a published benefit. Pick full flights on UA, and you'll almost certainly get bumped up to E+.

Morning, Box. Today is apparently the 6 year anniversary of the great East Coast blackout. Where were you that afternoon?

On the :rolleyes: Turnpike on the way down to DC. Left NYC about an hour before the blackout.

Just omit the "M" or "O" from your order. Or add a placeholder letter (e.g. "Texico") until you can fashion your own "M".

NEXICO works, as does MEXI CO. :D

Would you please explain what on earth you are talking about to the lowly uninitiated among you?

Powerpoint not needed after all. After talking to the mothership, I come to find that they want the answers announced so there is an element of crowd reaction.

It goes back to the Mike Vick discussion...he got in trouble before the dog thing because he was picking girls up in clubs using the name "Ron Mexico" and according to complaints, knowingly spreading a certain STD. After that kerfuffle, the NFL banned the use of the last name Mexico on custom-made web-ordered jerseys.

If you google Ron Mexico, the first name that pops up is Michael Vick.

As for google, why do I care about Hans Christian's birthday?
