I am a big supporter of board through the 2l door and exit through the 1l so the f and y pax don't mix.

The guy facing 180 years who then escaped from jail while I was on jury duty? He was found guilty of six offenses by a separate jury pool late last week (he hasn't been sent to trial for breaking out of jail yet).

Pending aircraft substitutions.

I'm not sure I would have the same response.

Wow flyertalk mobile is a special level of suckage unattained elsewhere!

That's the reason I promote the Bolt Browser for the Blackberry ;)

Just noticed this language on teh BD website...


If award travel is booked in a variety of booking classes i.e. a combination of Economy, Business and Frst class, then miles for the highest class of travel must be redeemed.
I guess this means longest segment is no longer the controlling criterion. :(

LGA, by a country mile.

I must investigate this.

How old is your Blackberry? If you have the older default browser that doesn't render any modern website correctly (as I did), it's worth checking into.

Moved books to my new office today. Let's just say:

A. I like having space at home again,
B. The weight of the books changed the handling characteristics of my car :eek:

We got our BB's back in February, but given that we got them under the BlackBerry BOGO promo that VZW was running at the time, who knows for how long it was sitting on the shelf before that.

How does that work? Is the lounge available before customs or after? I didn't remember seeing lounge access at LGW before we passed through customs but that was LGW and a couple of years ago.

The one at LGW was outside of baggage claim. Are there any domestic airports with shower rooms like overseas?

I think it is still YKMV

There is entirely too much scrolling involved in Bolt posting...it's a nicer interface than the standard BB browser, but if I do this too much my trackball is going to go on strike.

Our kids get $1 (at least the older one has; the six-year-old has, much to her chagrin, not yet lost a tooth), but this is a terrific idea. At the very least it is a possibility for using the tons of Turkish coins I have...

Looks like an unrefurbished US flight to me.

I'll be in town the night of 10/3, but I've already been told that Tony Luke's is the choice for dinner.

Not so bad with Blackberry shortcuts unless I'm in an editable field (e.g. "t" takes me to top of page, "space" is page down)
