Yes -- but most of the rest are not. :rolleyes:

Just pick up a couple of deep dish pizzas and some Eli's Cheesecakes and carry them onboard.

Yes, thanks to BD Gold.

In case anyone was looking at EK awards, the A380 is probably gonna be back on the JFK route @:-)

ALCO - have you stayed at both SPG properties in/around CPT? Thoughts?

Good - snacking for 12 flights in the terminal could be more than your airfare ...

My mom has earned 25K OnePass Miles already. :D

I stuck to a simple ORD-PHX-GEG routing for those ones.

I went ORD-DEN-PHX-GEG-PHX-SFO-ORD, dropping the DEN for one or two of the three trips I booked. It works out to just under 9kEQM at the 1.5x I hope to earn...

Yes. If you have several days in/around CPT, I would highly recommend the Arabella Western Cape Hotel & Spa over the Westin Grand. Both are fantastic hotels, but the Arabella Western Cape is simply stunning. It is about an hour's drive from CPT Airport, through some of the most beautiful scenery on Earth. From there, it is 45 mins to an hour to just about any of the main attractions (Wineries, Penguin Colonies, Cape of Good Hope, Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, Whale-Watching at Hermanus). The hotel grounds themselves are just gorgeous. It is set on a large lagoon, with no surrounding buildings to spoil the view. There is also a very nice golf-course there, if you want to play a few rounds.

Last month, I sent out a communication to our organization reminding everyone that it's specifically a violation of state law to possess a weapon in any of our state-owned facilities. Today, I get a request asking if I would approve someone bringing functional long arms and cannons to our facility :rolleyes: ...

If I can stay awake, I will post some Aero and Hotel pr0n from this weekend's after I return from the office.

While they may not be able to bring it to your facility, surely the opportunity to play with cannons cannot be overlooked.
