The PRG DO sounds interesting. There is a small problem though, I want to earn miles rather than use them and if I book CO I would miss out on the connecting flight miles on OK and BA (for the flight times I like). Do I wait for the :-:A switch or book on DL and :shiver: make DL my main carrier next year? I propose this b/c I am already flying DL on a r/t to MAD the first weekend in 2010 (new years DL mistake fare). If I go with DL, I would have over 16k MQM before 1/20 but I hate to give up CO status.:confused:

I love your humor. ^

That particular animal has had small roles in other productions. Case in point, a horror film:

Aye, and you have to check in with your ID to get the points (usually).

Yeah, and it isn't always enforced at every property. But those are the rules, as I understand them.

I soak the board for hours and still need to spritz it now and then. I have to say that I do enjoy smoking out the neighborhood though.:D

Why not just book the LH connection on CO.com? They show up and even though the mileage shows zero, when CO enters *A there will definitely be some sort mileage earning for the FRA-PRG segment.

Sure, but will they credit miles for :-:A flights booked before the switch?

Quite certainly. Credit is based on when you fly, not when you book.

Why wouldn't they? The *A announcement states that flights after Oct. 27 will earn *A miles. I don't see any stipulations on whn the flights are booked. I may be assuming too much but it adds up to me.

Great idea but it looks like the timing is a little poor considering I wouldnt be able to leave NYC until Friday night putting me in PRG around 1 pm the next day and leaving at 6::eek::eek:am on Monday morning.

Are you all sharing a single room? Or are there multiple rooms involved (which is what I assumed)? If there's multiple rooms, regardless of who pays, you can list each room under a different name (hotels usually prefer this in my experience) and attach different Marriott Rewards numbers to each room. The key is that the room is booked in the same name as the Marriott Rewards number used. It doesn't matter who actually pays.

Don't forget to check LX, BD, and LOT.

I soaked it for the one hour minimum the directions specified, and then put it over low heat after preheating the grill. We ended up with delicious fish, and a plank that's burned to a crisp on the bottom, which I just threw out. There will be no reusing that one. Next time we soak all day.
