Does anybody think that CO and UA, not to mention US, will be happy about this?

Anybody who did not see this coming the day that Lufty bought 19% of B6 just was not paying attention.

No, and I totally agree.

I spend so many nights in hotels that I sleep better on the road than at home now. Our bed at home does need to be replaced. It's a bed I bought in 2000, and while not at all old, it was a little on the firm side when new, and it has continued to get more firm as it has aged. Neither of us really likes it.

Believe it or not, the carrier with the most frequent low fares out of Philly are neither of those. All of the Yapta-ing I've done recently has pointed me to AA.

I haven't flown AA enough to coment.

Q: if he really wanted to go to msp why did he buy a ticket to dtw.

A: because it was the cheapest thing to do, he didn't want to pay the change fee and the re-fare.

I think he'll be very happy with WN.

I'm trying to find us two standard award tickets, preferably in the pointy end of the plane, to someplace that requires the use of a passport over Thanksgiving this year. This is being further complicated by the fact that any city that is served by a SkyTeam partner, but not by CO itself, isn't showing up in reward searches for travel after October 24, even though we technically can use OnePass miles now for travel after that date on SkyTeam partners. And since the future Star Alliance partners aren't showing for reward travel yet, this is making this search super frustrating.

Anyway, any ideas on a great place to go that time of year?

I've been too busy to keep up with which thread you're referring to, but should things get out of hand, remember that there's a RBP button next to every post ;)

What about BCN or MAD? I'd suggest LED, but that's a bit far north for that time of year. You're going to have to call in, though.

That's right, there are no seats left. No more room at the Inn. If you haven't already booked your seat, you snoozed and you lost.

Or perhaps you won.

Word has it someone has purchased an extra business-class ticket and someone will be giving away that ticket to one lucky FTer sometime in early October.

How can you become that lucky FTer? We can't say. In fact, we've already said too much. If we were to tell you to keep your eyes on the CommunityBuzz forum or to keep your posting fingers limber, we might get in real trouble.

Oh boy, now we've done it.

Listen, you didn't hear anything from TalkMail, and if you claim otherwise we'll deny it.

Viva PWP!
