Box micro-Do in NYC tonight was fun.

My parents flew OK J once. They asked me how bad it was. I told them. They booked it anyways. They came home and have listened to me on every bit of travel advice since. Go figure. @:-)

Does Malev no longer do long-haul? IIRC, they once had 767s...

They had two 767s and stopped service to North America last year.

Someone should send comments to seatguru - no yellow or red to be seen in J.

ETA: did long-haul J really have overhead monitors and six channels of audio? :eek:

You can see the projection screen in front of 1C/1D.

I remember these from my UA days.

Good LUCk!

Negative. Besides, there's no way I could hold a roomful of FTers attention when such good food and adult beverages are involved.

I put out the invite for the trivia event that I'm doing all these questions for, but it's a Monday night...if people were so inclined to gather at someone's house who has sufficient space to do it, I would consider providing the questions for a Box Trivia Do. @:-)

Not unless you get COINsider to help sweeten the pot!

Give me a month or two to catch up. I already know of at least 6-10 routes I'll be adding to the domestic map before December 31, 2009.

You are better than me and it looks like ATL has been good to you.

So I am in the library at OSU on a date. Very interesting. I have invited him to come to the NYC DO and he is looking forward to it. I hope we can make it!

I need to fly! I have two trips on the books for OCt, then two in Nov. and maybe a trip to LAS for NEw YEars!

I remember them vividly on the CO DC10s.

Congratulations, sfogate. We boxers are very happy that you are our CO insider!!

Thank you.

Have fun you two.

why oh why do the fares to NYC have to be so expensive for the times I need to fly..

Well if I make it to NYC for the DO it looks like NWA it will be.

Lucky I have a NWA PLat challenge so should be good on the upgrades.

wonder if I could credit half to CO and half to NWA?

I think I fiqured it out. I can go NWA on miles or dollars and do better prices than CO and get to LGA 2 minutes earlier. ;) and leave later. I also have the NWA Plat match so upgrades should go fine.

more importantly I get more FM lines, DTW lounges for me the lounge whore!

Slept well so far, now to get some more sleep :D

Mackieman Sep 18, 2009 3:37 am

This is what going to bed at 9PM will do for you. Hopefully I'll be able to get a nap in later this morning before the day actually begins.

Morning, Box. :rolleyes:

An hour between flights is plenty of time for a true lounge whore to do all three of the NW lounges at DTW and have a drink in each.
