Is a 30 minute I-I connection in IST legal? Probably not. And definitely not smart, right?

I think I can get JFK-IST-ALG for the outbound (better connection than the 30 minutes for CMN). Still trying to figure out the return. Might have to overnight in FRA on the 29th to catch the early LH flight back to JFK so we can get on the DL flight to BCN.

Free after dinner drinks seems like a very nice benefit.

Operation Delta voucher successful. I was able to get the number, verify it, and run back to my office and book the tickets. I think this is the best deal I have ever gotten on a voucher. 61.5 cents on the dollar. ^

My best for ebay was buying a $500 ETC for $399

I lost the mailer they sent me. What are the benefits and how do I register?

I got a $460 WN one for ~$100 off (without considering the Kroger gas savings and double miles buying the eBay gift cards). Working through that WN credit right now (e.g. New Years trip to LAS).

I used to get that for my hotel guests (and for me) all the time. If you've not experienced it, it's pretty neat. Tuxedoed manager comes over and pours one of a choice of four of five bottles for everyone in the party from a silver tray. Last time I was there, the choices were Sambuca, two varieties of Bailey's, a port, a cognac, and something else.

Hmmm, one wonders if anyone else will use SNN as a stopover so they can fly to US airports without customs facilities? I can see biz service to LGA or, ughhh, the Ryanair's of europe giving it a try....

And port, cheese, and frozen grapes are one of my favorite indulgences. ^

Will the business-minded crowd accept getting off the plane, clearing Customs, and still crossing an ocean? I would think that any traveler (business or leisure) would want that experience to be either a pre-board or the traditional post-flight thing.

Just did my Alli check-in for the week - even though I'm taking the pills far less often, I'm now shooting for sub-200.

The Tampon run is fairly straightforward. Just feed TPA-AUS, AUS-ONT, ONT-AUS, AUS-TPA as your segments into .bomb, using multi-city search for First Class fares. It should give you an itinerary via IAD and DEN that is fairly maximized, mileage-wise (routing through SAT yields a few more miles, but involves a CR7, rather than an E70).

Be weary, IAD-AUS can be subbed for a CR-7 easily as well. UA's been swapping CR7s for E170s all over the place. Hell, even SAN is going to see a CR7 doing a SFO-SAN-DEN run.

I would imagine the perimeter rule would still be applicable for LGA thus making it 'is not possible'.

It's fully changeable/refundable. Assuming the fare sticks around, I'd just swap AUS for DFW, SAT, IAH, etc, so I could avoid teh CR7 on a longer segment.

That works. Now, if only one could route via JFK again...
