Don't feel bad. I have some gems that have been thrown at me as well. Ask me next week and I'll share, just don't need any of them archived on the interwebz.

Oh, and the best part? That I would book runs without consulting a schedule and without consulting the financial situation.

What. The. Hell.

Just go with it man.

We should be very careful about what is posted out in the wild if we don't want CO to know about it.

This is very true!

Welcome to CO flight 623 with non-stop service to Louis Armstrong International Airport.
Continental Airlines is a proud new member of Star TEAM alliance


Welome aboard

2 Days is not much turn around so can't blame them as they are on the same aircraft, making the same dollar, etc. I am currently working at the same desk that I did a year ago. The company then was OSU Cowboy Dining and now I am with OSU Cowboy Golf. I still slip up at times.

Sounds like a fun trip. I think I may have to make sure that my next move is closer to a CO hub or city with more specials so that I can enjoy the spoils of travel a little more!!

Is it possible to get seat assignments in advance on SQ for Biz? And what are the chances that they'll still be flying the 744 rather than the A380 on the JFK-FRA-SIN route in December?

On a C ticket you should be able to have CO request the seat, If you call SQ they will tell you they can't because someone else issued the ticket.

The second answer is:
close to 100% , that route would go to 77W if anything, but not the Tres Ocho Cinco.

The LAX-NRT-SIN route has been rumoured to go to 77W first before the JFK route, and that has been going on for months and it still shows 744.

Ok...sounds like I'm on the 744 then. I'll wait until the miles are deducted and ask CO to make the seat request. Both reps I've spoken with so far say that I have to call so I'm not really looking forward to that.

Is C upstairs? I still need that. :rolleyes:

Oh, and I'm on a C reward for SQ so little chance of a downgrade there.

I don't think I'm going to tell my wife that we have the F seats on TK. I'll let her be surprised.

The ANA Number or 4-digit Password(PIN) you entered was incorrect.
For that reason,our services to you are suspended.
My PIN was correct (it let me in earlier this morning). Now, they locked my account and they are sending me a new PIN via snail mail. I guess I won't be doing *A searches for a few weeks.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm sure that would go over well. :)

Random question for the box.

If one wanted to comment, to the regulatory powers that be, on the proposed on the upcoming US/DL swap slot at LGA/DCA, how would one do that.

I've sent emails to both the generic FAA and SEC addresses and gotten no response.

Nice! ^

I showed my wife a picture of the TK suites last night (a consideration for our trip to JNB) and she loved them! I then showed her a picture of SA C (a consideration for our return) and she said "Those aren't as nice as the first ones. I'd prefer the other seat." - I think I'm creating a monster. :rolleyes:

CC'd correspondences to the relevant Congresscritters?

Go to Regulations.gov find the docket and you should be able to submit a comment from there, if they are accepting comments.

There are usually forms for this. I don't have experience with the FAA or FTC/SEC but I have commented on regulations proposed by the FCC for ham radio, and their instructions for doing so are here. Perhaps the FAA and SEC have something smiliar?
