:eek: I just went to take a pic and put my SD card in the camera, it showed to be protected, checked it and the entire card was split in half!

Amazingly the data is still there, I am copying it all off now, and then it looks like it is going in the trash. 8GB SD card....bye!

My first *A experience today and it was ^^^^^

I got status matched to BD last year but 2 days later they stopped flying to the states. So I haven't used my BD status since.

Today I flew them DUB-LHR and used one of the six UG certs they gave me along with entering their DUB lounge as a *G with them.....both impressed me.

On the 1 hour flight, food, drinks, etc....the lounge in DUB was great with WIFI which I cannot believe they have one for 3 flights a day was perfect.

BYE BYE Skyteam, let the *A roll on!!!!!

Yes, but did you really "spend" it? Or just shift money around to generate massive numbers of points and miles? :D

One of my friends owned a jet for several years.

Had he to do it over, I think he would have just kept the single-engine airplane with which he started and put the money in the bank. With the jet (a Citation), it seemed like there was an airworthiness directive every month that required him to incur maintenance fees.

Is that still true? I thought TSA was trying to force bizjets to be screened.

Is this correct?

I called co last night to upgrade my ticket using non-elite miles and they wanted to charge me a $150 fee. They claim the fee is based upon the status of the account on which the miles are drawn on.

I'd probably just rather pay for commercial flights in the front cabin.

And honestly, I broke mine a couple trips ago as well. Got all data off as well (but I think mine was just 1 GB).
