Try £42 or €50!

Yeah the label is pretty cool!

As for WiFi rates, this is getting quite old. If I started traveling a lot again I am going to get a card for my laptop instead of paying so much for typically crappy service. Heck, maybe I will start a campaign against hotel wifi charges!

Oh -- what the heck -- post away :p :p :p

It seems he's not coming so I won't bother. It was going to start with "For those who want to dishonor CO by arriving via JFK on another airline..."

I'm not so sure about that. CO has repeatedly said they get a lot of biz thanks to their upgrade policy. That said, I see the capacity controls getting worse. The real losers? Golds and Silvers. Plats have the saving grace of M fares which is a true benefit now. You really can't beat a $600 transcon that gets an instant upgrade.

You don't need a ride. Just take the Airtrain to Jamaica station and take the LIRR to Penn. The whole thing should take 30-40 mins and is easy.

I was thinking of flying to PHL ;) (on CO, easier upgrade)

E train to 51st is easiest. Brand new subway cars too.

Still haven't determined the successor statement of "(SkyTeam partner)" to refer to a certain airline.

Now you're referring to half the world's airlines :p 40% of those are simply doomed, but ...

I have a personal conundrum.

In an effort to round out the patches that I want on this bag, I have found a patch that is more historically accurate as it relates to my career. That's the upside.

Downside: I was assigned to a certain place in a certain part of the world during some multinational flying activities, and I can't bring myself to put a French flag on my bag.

That works too, though I have to say I like the speed of the LIRR trains.
