I did get a chuckle out of the one dude making the barf noises and getting in the head of the opposing girl. Plus the dude heckling from the gallery was priceless.

And yes, I almost lost it as well.

No I have a meeting that morning so Im just heading to EWR as soon as they are done.

Congrats Box - my impending abuse of Hilton combined with (current SkyTeam partner's) Rollover EQM has convinced me to create a BD account.

* Accrue Hilton partner miles to BD in 2009
* Status match to BD in early 2010

I'll only have to fly 10K miles on SkyTeam in 2010 to renew Plat for 2011 and want to know what's the glaring BD hole in this plan I'm missing?

There are two UA flights that get me into ORD in time for the morning party. If Randy can get me on either one, I'll end up doing PHL-ORD-EWR.

It did hit me not long after I found out that winning he trip will give me my first ever airline status. The 15K credited to CO plus my Christmas flights will put me over for Silver.

If the LH flight credit at 150% + 15 K flat EQMs , that is 25K right there without the other flights, PHL-ORD-EWR or Your Christmas flug

Is RP paying for the TATL in J or redeeming an award (generous either way)? With the domestic connections, a paid J TATL is another 15K in addition to the 15K for the charter.

I'm thinking like a great mind.

According to the Buzz thread, there is no class of service bonus. It's a flat 15K for TATL/charter. That alone will put me over; I flew something like 11,500 credited this year, but BIS is around 23K.

Can't comment. Still sick. :D:D

I read the 15K as for the charter only. I would simply be happy to be going (and had figured out a way to make the trip relevant to my research).

Are you encountering the ConciergeMike Bolt Browser repost?

My Star MegaDO blog, which will be presented in exclusive partnership with Mix3 Travel, is in need of a name. Have at it, Box. Most creative wins.

COUNT ME IN. :D



And for "JazzFest" substitute "Mardi Gras" or "LSU football gameday", and there you have the years 2006-2008 of my life...



Ha. Ha ha ha. Where do I begin...

You forgot:

"Saints gameday", "Monday", "Tuesday", ...

Life in MSY is tough. We just got back from the first music event of the evening, followed by dinner and now we're heading out to the next musical hot spot.

Those who aren't here should be grateful for the sacrifices we make to uphpold the reputation of teh Box in NOLA. :p
