Never post in the SkyTeam USA forum about mooching WiFi - I've made that mistake and have been accused of being too cheap to get a membership ...

Good Evening Box:

What a day of :rolleyes: DFW was awful. LAS trip was a rough one. Nothing went right. Lost phone, did not dress properly, ATM card was not working, delayed flights with the weather at DFW. Man, I normally love the road, but not today.:( All that aside, how are the denizens in this den of inequity?:D

According to DL I have access till Jan 31 officially, so I have no issue in mooching it, they aren't open for me to check in.

Day full of :rolleyes: for a 9:30am IAH departure we waited on the tarmac 1 hour due to weather.

Glad I got out early.

I'm considering just dropping off the grid for the day. No BB, no email, no nothing. PHL-CLE-PHX-IAH-PHL on 12/7, same day with three hours in Phoenix. 6am to 11pm.

I have two passes in my desk now and thinking of using my 100K threshold award to get four more. Also considering going with the Reserve AmEx next year - I'll figure out how to get $300 worth of beverages ...

I'll get $600 in Woodford while airborne. The goal next year is quite a few international trips, where the passes won't matter as a Plat.

Abusing UA to abuse BD is very much in my future as well.

If I'll be Silver when I go on the run for Gold and I have an Extra Mile promo active and DEQM, will the PHL-CLE segment credit at 1000 EQM, 50% Extra Mile, and 25% Silver?

As spartan as the food choices are at the SkyClubs and PClubs I still value being able to get a quick snack so I don't have to spend $5 on $1 of snack at an airport vendor.

That was a quick click. :) Yay, congrats!

Watching the Devils-Boston game in Boston and noticed the FL ad on the ice in the neutral zone. You'd think it would be B6.

Agree, this is also the one place where the majority of AA's ACs are severely lacking with exceptions (i.e. LAX and HNL). Their free food offerings are just terrible or more appropriately, nonexistent. The SkyClubs (heaven knows) are not what they used to be, and the PC are still pretty consistent, but both offer at least some sustenance. Moreover, if you're in the ATL E concourse or the JFK international terminal in each instance during international departure time, the food offerings are more akin to foreign carrier lounges.

I should note though that the Wing and the Pier F lounges in HKG for CX are unreal.;)
