FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Hello? Ah, yes I see there's been a schedule change; what are the new times? Hmmm, I don't think those will work for me -- but if you could find something that left before 6:30 via ORD we might be in business? What's that? Flight x leaves then? Great! Let's go with that one and please connect me to flight yy (the one to HNL :cool: ) with another connection SFO on flight zz. Once I get to SFO I can make my original connection to ONT. <agent: thanks for choosing United, it's a pleasure to serve you> Oh no, the pleasure is mine!

This also works with the BD ICC:

I'd like to change my original LAX-ICN-SYD flights, please. Well, I'd like to do LAX-NRT-AKL-PER. Yes, I'm quite aware that NRT is in a different zone. Well, if that's not possible, how did I get booked onto LAX-ICN-SYD in the first place? Yes, I can wait whilst you speak with a supervisor. Oh, that's lovely. Hmm, there isn't any C availability on LAX-NRT? How about First? No change in mileage required? Fantastic. It has indeed been a pleasure being served by you.

This was the 4pm Changing of the Guard this past Friday.

Nice pics, CM. I love walking around Arlington, especially in the early morning when there's no one around.

Well, it sounds like I may soon be added to the list of unemployed members of The Box.

Sorry to hear...best of luck for whatever comes next. Hopefully, it's speedy.

MIA-ZRH is shorter than ZRH-GRU. :-:

I ought to give MIA-ZRH-GRU-JNB a go, just for the hell of it. :D

What were they thinking Dept:

Someone mentioned peopleofwalmart, and I was going to post this as the quintessential not-peopleofwalmart: http://www.airfrance.com/indexCOM.html

To me, a stunning photo, evocative of Blue Coast glamor and beauty, well framed, the arc of the parasol just perfect.

Except it looks like she's listening to an Ipod. And probably, if it were a video, she'd be snapping bubblegum.

Cheese that requires a bunker frightens me. Does it cause thermonuclear audacious and unmitigated episodes?
