How strange. Hold times seem to be up for the middle of the night.

Must be everyone trying to cram onto LH 441 (IAH-FRA)

In other news, two things:

1. It took less than 90 minutes for the first allegation of Starnet shenanigans to be levied. Read the sticky thread.

2. Someone please tell me that I got the math right:
http://conciergemike.global7travel.c...out-the-total/

1. I saw that, but obviously the site is being updated on the fly. I looked at reward tix for EWR-KWI and only Y came up. If I try to buy a revenue ticket, I get:

Code:

Continental or its partners serve these cities but do not publish schedules or fares between them. It may be possible to construct an itinerary using two separate fares by calling 1-800-300-1547.
:D

2. The math looks good to me. ^

Getting the same searching MAF-ZQN. Need more IT integration. ;)

They could not book my ticket, no booking class existed, and the agent did not believe me when I mentioned the code TK :D

Woot Off and Star on a busy week for me at work? Is there anyway I can go without sleep and still be functional?

Bedtime. Goodnight, Box. Happy :-:A. :D^

Phew. Thanks. I know some of the resident BD whores would scoff and sneer at only 28K RDM on one trip, but I'm an amateur and I'm rather excited over the haul. Put another way, the Do alone with no freaky routing would have brought me 411 miles short of Silver if I'd done no flying at all this year. :eek: Freaky routings would have possibly given me a shot at *G, but that's not in my cards this year and I can live with that, seeing as how I'm getting Silver and almost halfway to Gold for less than $500 out of pocket on the year.

It's a boatload of miles from a random drawing. And yes, you can get a hell yeah! ^

I giggled when I saw the OnePass table for bmi-operated flights. :D

Mr. Doesn't Get El Joke de Hispanics is really starting to refry my beans.

FT Lurker Oct 27, 2009 12:12 am

Jajaja, well whoever made the butt head comment upthread made me laugh.

ConciergeMike Oct 27, 2009 12:14 am

I'm really turning the laptop off now. Must get sleep. Want to wake up and watch the 11am webcast.

I earned about that many EQMs on the UA AKL C mistake fare in 2007. That one trip alone gave me UA status for the first time, and I've renewed my status with them every year since. Guess it sort of paid off for both them and me in the long run.

I feel bad for CO Agents tonight

I managed to get the flights I needed for the Girlfriend to visit her friend:
JFK-FRA-BEY-FRA-JFK LH F & C
Right now they can't mix carriers but I will try later this week as she wants to go via IST.
