Anyone know if they take CO Currency for the LiveTV? I was going to watch The Office while flying tomorrow.

EWR-PBI has been full up front for weeks (no surprise) and MIA-EWR is booked solid (showing Y1B1) but we probably won't be able to take a VDB (if offered) . Oh well...

Only credit cards are accepted for LiveTV payments. I'd plan on catching The Office on hulu. :)

Would it be rude of me to catch The Office via SlingBox on my iPhone during a dinner my wife and I are attending? :D

Taking a bump would require an overnight for us and the first flight out doesn't leave early enough. :td:

My dad was supposed to be on CO51 last night IAH-EZE and it had a mechanical delay which caused it to take off 11 hours late. CO put everyone up at the Marriott but didnt offer any other type of compensation. FWIW, due to the delay he will be missing a half day of dove hunting in Cordoba which probably cost him about $450. Should he write CO and ask for compensation due to the plane taking off 11 hours late?

Morning, Box. It's a crappy day in the neighborhood. Rain and windy nastiness down the Shore.

11 hours? Absolutely. Attach a prorated receipt for the hunting trip.

Not only that, how is he getting to Cordoba from Buenos Aires , LAN Argentina or AR , Are they going to rebook him on another flight ?

Travel agent booked it all but he said that they would not be able to make it to Cordoba until tomorrow around noon when they were supposed to be there tonight. They will miss tomorrow morning's hunt. Luckily the travel agent is with them so if anything gets messed up you would think he would be able to fix it quickly.

I like that man already. He travels with his travel agent so when things go awry, he just can lean back and let someone else straighten it out. :)

They are going to check out a new outfit that just started up. My dad and his friends have used this same travel agent for hunts all over EU, SA, and NA so they often get to go on these "test" trips with the travel agent for some sort of discount. This time it happens to be free shotgun shells for the duration of the trip (3 days). Some of you Texans might think, that deal sucks you get half a case of shells thats worth $50. NO, this is high volume shooting where you go through a couple cases a day. The one time I went with my dad for my graduation present we ended up with an $9300 shotgun shell bill for a 3 1/2 day hunt (4 people shooting) and this was when they were $10 a box.
