But that's what made it so funny. And sick. But funny.

Ok - lots of questions about the BRU mini-DO recently, so I am going to start the thread with some basic information to get us started. This will at least give us a place to collect our thoughts on the logistics...

Give me a few minutes.

EDIT: Feel free to continue all BRU Mini-DO discussions here.

What about getting her the Wii; a nice bracelet like this

And asking them for a really big bag to fit the large Wii plus the little blue box?

BTW, Tiffany really doesn't have a dress code. It may affect the service, but they'll take your money even w/ flip flops and mittens ;)

Great - thanks for your effort.

You may also want to consider Sunday early afternoon (1PM start) games...
Although sometimes NHL changes the game start time to accomodate TV broardcast schedule, in a few week advance notice. :td:

Apparently I was meant to attend the BRU DO. I just booked the reward seats (better to have them now in case fares don't come down to a level I want to pay). The confirmation number for the trip is BWRY**. Is it wrong to read that as BreWeRY**? :p :D

No. It is fate's guiding hand.

Have you accounted for my carrying fee/service charge? It might end up costing you a bit more than you planned. Then again, you got me free golf in a couple weeks, so that counts for something.

I am definitely going to be in ATL next week, though I'm struggling with my travel plans. The flight home was easy to pick as everything was ~$280 on Thursday night. I booked the late flight and will pay the $25 if I can get to the airport earlier. Going to ATL on Monday, however, is proving a bit more difficult. I can fly AirTran for $115 just about any time during the day. That makes it hard for me to justify buying the $289 DL/CO ticket at the same time of travel. There are some DL T fares scattered in, but they are all early or late. And getting to LGA for a 9am flight is annoying for the traffic. Or I can do the 6pm, which is probably worse for traffic. So annoying. I might just take the 7am flight and hang out in ATL for the day. Maybe go to the aquarium or something...

Yes. You can do BRU-FRA--->U.S. on LH for a one-way Cash+Mi. Zone 1-Zone 3 Award. It would be 22,500mi + about $350 for a one-way F award.

Thanks , Now I have to figure out how to get to Europe .
I have MH miles that i need to use before they expire , but I think that will only get me EWR-ARN in Biz.
I may have to buy a one way ARN-BRU on SAS.

Is it just me or does CO need to develop an iPhone version of the PDA site? It is huge and the seatmaps do not look right at all.

It used to display properly until a few weeks ago. CO obviously does not test multiple platforms. :td:

On the plus side, CO recently launched an iPhone friendly version of continental.com which is very nice.
