Not exactly useless if one flies UA - I don't see a cap on the airfare that's 50% off (e.g. potentially requalify in one very convoluted multiple-city domestic itinerary) ... Could be the same net effect of "double EQMs" to start off 2010.

GVA is also easy.

did not even have to take off the killah shoes! well I did, I was wearing steel toed sketchers work shoes that made me have to put them through on the belt.

It is still limited to a domestic ticket. Now if it was 50% off all tickets, oh yah.

All those decongestants with pseudoephedrine and such are really bad for one's cardiovascular health when used long-term. My sister used took Claritin D daily for several years and was instructed by her doctor to stop because it was raising her blood pressure beyond acceptable levels. No matter how congested I am, I never use any decongestants.

IIRC, a UA domestic ticket can be up to 12 segments, correct?

While this is true, there are some of us who cannot function without decongestants in our allergy medicine.

I have a history of extreme allergies, with the doctors telling my mom that I'd probably have to be fed intravenously and monitored for years. Being a kid I eventually grew out of most of the allergies but I am still highly sensitive to allergen fluctuations. Without a decongestant being used at least intermittently, my day will go by in a fog with my head in a vice.

So sorry to hear about that.:eek: This is where the 90-day purchase protection on AMEX Plat comes in handy -- they will replace for any reason in the 1st 90 days!^
Yep!:confused:
Yes & oh!:D;)

Gave up on you, or liked you?!;)
PLUS1!
I could call a broker friend & ask about that scenario, if you'd like.

My, the B:rolleyes:X has been busy since I stepped to go to the doc. Like a real PW party!:D Good news is that I am not near death!:rolleyes: Doc wants me to take anti-inflammatories & see what happens w/the rib pain. She did give me a prescription for Percoset, just in case!^ The throat is only slight red -- so no real issue there!:cool:

I believe 10. If memory serves me correct, four transfers are permitted per direction which would lead to 5 segments each way.

So, I went through one of those TSA human xray machines at CLE for the first time on Sunday and must say that it was utterly ridiculous. First, it slowed the process down and seemed to take at least twice as long as the regular metal detector lanes. Second, they make you take everything, including non-metallic items, out of your pockets (think tissues, pieces of paper, etc.), which slows the process down even more. Third, you have to stand in the machine with your arms up like a perp for a good three to five seconds or so, which is simply idiotic. Finally, they add another step by making you wait a bit before they let you go to the end of the conveyor and retrieve your bags. I am not sure whether they do this to keep the line from backing up, or if it takes them that long to review the xray image.

The whole thing seemed completely absurd.

My sister now uses Coricidin HBP, which she says is not as good as a regular decongestant, but is better than nothing and does not affect her blood pressure.

I had to do one of these at FLL, interestingly last time i went through the machine was covered up with a large draped cloth..(very end of last month) will see Wednesday how it is now :)

I will check that out. Sounds like something the better half could definitely use. ^

I may just request the state sponsored feel-up if the only other option is the full-body x-ray.

No you did not. You are free to tell the TSA to shove it when they ask to strip search you.

I have never taken it, but my sister says that it is not as effective as the real stuff, but is better than nothing.
