Meh, outside of the blocked middle seat, how is the different than intra-EU J? :-: Stick 'em in EML and call it square. :rolleyes:

What do you teach?

The silo of coffee was not to my spec though, which disappointed me. Not my usual Dunkin' (went to one near the office). I was just another :rolleyes: in the crowd to them.

Hrm, a blessing from the Insider. Maybe my northern taste buds aren't bad :D, or your southern sensibilities have been dulled :eek:
:D:rolleyes::-:

Lamps would still be there, because AF will still operate the route. I thought only CO was eliminating IAH-CDG. Is there an AF lounge in IAH with Lamps?

ALCO, you need to get this.

I'm a specialist business generalist - my academic disciplines are economics, finance, management, disaster management, organizational processes, and education.

There was a Salon Air France, I don't know the current status of the lounge or the lighting system implementation.

I see CO 32 loaded through EOS. I would be very surprised if it were to be cancelled. There are a lot of business ties between Houston and Paris. This was one of the few cities in the U.S. (until recently) that had a Sofitel property. Total, S.A. has its N. American HQ here, BNP Paribas has a decent-sized operation here, and the French-American Chamber of Commerce has a Houston Chapter (with over 200 members).

No mention of it here.

Indeed.

Just wish I had more time to play in teh Box. However, I fear that my immediate lack of productivity on the job would be impossible to hide...

If CO were to cancel IAH-CDG, whatever in the world would LawFlyer do? He'd have no gay gate agents to flirt himself into BF with, and further he would run out of fresh Guerlain sweaters. That is one of my all-time favorite threads, by the way.

oooh JetBlue pilot taking shots at CO. From overheard in NY.

JetBlue pilot: I hope you all enjoyed the flight. If you have any questions, please e-mail them to the Continental Airlines e-mail. Thank you for flying JetBlue.

Please add that nugget to the other thread. Please.

Yes -- it was brilliant!

Yes, IAH has a relatively large French expat population and many business ties. It would certainly make sense for CO to continue to operate IAH-CDG, given the amount of O/D business traffic involved.

He would be relegated to using AF miles to upgrade himself from C to F.
