Yes. The 50% and 25% are based on the actual, not the 500 mile minimums. That changes at some point but I don't remember exactly when.

We have AT&T DSL at home on the fastest speed we can get, and it's fine, but nothing amazing.
Sadly I had completely unreliable AT&T DSL, which pushed me to another option.

mine is grandfathered, I use 15-20GB regular when in miami due to MSDN downloads when I am in the hotel in one place.

Recent snacks I've seen in RCCs (ORD, DEN, IAD):
  • Veggies - celery, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, with ranch dressing for dipping
  • Walker's chocolate chip Shortbread ^^
  • Kettle style potato chips
  • Knott's Berry Farm raspberry shortbread cookies
  • Quaker granola bars
  • Pepperidge Farm crackers (same as CO)
  • Cheese (similar to CO)
  • Apples, bananas, oranges in the morning ^^
  • Bagels (no toaster :td:) with cream cheese in the morning
  • Mini-muffins in the morning (similar to CO)
  • Yogurt in the morning ^^^

Overall the RCCs tend to have a larger variety of food than CO's PCs. There's also a larger number of healthier items if you want a snack without loading up on processed carbs.

I fixed it for you. The same rule should apply to flying that particular airline.

I found a significant stash of Pepperidge Farm cookies in SFO and a lesser stash in HNL last weekend. They are loose and near the crackers. I had many Milano cookies prior to the SFO-HNL flight. :D

And I am a big fan of the yogurt in the mornings. Much better than the "bagels" that any of the lounges have. When CO had the English Muffins I enjoyed those but they don't seem to show up any more.

No. What was the Sheraton is now a Hilton. I just stayed there last month.

I found a better run; gonna cancel the one with the CLE leg. The next day (12/8) lets me go thru IAH both ways still on a same-day turn...more miles, enough miles to ask OPSC for Gold ahead of time, and currently scheduled at 4x739. ^^^

About the RCC snacks, I find that I eat much healthier food when I'm not trying to consume items that will soak up some of the alcohol I'm mainlining. Maybe there is a link there.http://rolleye.com/nerd.gif

At a certain vendor in the UA concourse at MSY, that $5 would get you 10¢ of snack.

Thanks. Now the question is how much I will actually use it and if I can requalify.

1/7 IAD-EWR 6:30 am
1/7 EWR-SFO 8:45 am
1/7 SFO-IAH 11:59 pm
1/8 IAH-IAD 7:25 am
1/8 IAD-EWR 1:35 pm
1/8 EWR-SFO 5:45 pm
1/8 SFO-IAH 11:59 pm
1/8 IAH-IAD 7:55 am

So I will overnight at IAD on Wednesday/Thursday. If you are going to do the same let me know and we can split rooms potentially. I still need to get positioning flight. That is tonight's challenge.
I am doing a double-open jaw that starts and ends in DCA and don't plan on overnighting in WAS.

However, I am on 5 out of the 8 flights:
1/7 SFO-IAH 11:59 pm
1/8 IAH-IAD 7:25 am
1/8 IAD-EWR 1:35 pm
1/8 EWR-SFO 5:45 pm
1/8 SFO-IAH 11:59 pm

I am positioning with WN through BWI. :rolleyes:

Yeah...I feel your pain completely. I'm sitting here looking at all these sub-$100 DCA-DEN runs and the like for early 2010 and having no idea when and how I'm going to requalify. Those 1/1.5 day weekends really make things difficult. :(


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 5:40 am.
