Nope. I asked the :rolleyes: at the desk and was told: Is. Not. Possible.

Wow - I hope that changes quickly. Trading in free booze and wifi for a cash bar and expensive wifi is :rolleyes:.

Amazing considering the number of XXXXXXX that pass thru there.

Only at that one RCC, though, not at all of them. The WiFi thing is going to suck until they officially announce that it is a benefit. *Gs accessing the lounge do not get free WiFi at all. That they were giving the cards out for the one in ORD was actually a surprise to me. I don't expect it to be that way across the board, at least not any time soon.

Holy husky morning voice from my (female) FA. She sounds like she's either been smoking stogies in the galley or huffs jet exhaust.

I'm trying to figure out which airport it's coming from... Tolouse is close to a river but not that close.

It has to be Germany right?

Don't A380's get fitted out at Hamburg?

I believe you are correct, and the Airbus facility there is right on the water: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&rl...-8&sa=N&tab=wl

Ahhh. My laptop. Not the split-keyboard garbage in my mother's office. It took me 40 minutes to realize that my connection priorities were screwed up.

See you tomorrow. Have a safe flight. Also, any recomendations for a bar around the Hyatt Place Plantation?

Good morning, B:rolleyes:x.... from LAX PresClub. Got the txt from CO last night at midnight saying that CO294 is on an hour delay, "Mandatory Crew Rest". Ahh, happy joy. And of course I get to the club 3min after they've given all the FC seats away on CO194, so no chance moving up to that flight. Looks like I get to do another running connecting to the B-terminal in IAH. Yay! /facepalm

In other news, found a priceless post in the "CO to start charging a-la-carte" thread, http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/12736663-post50.html. Someone else telling channa off, if I'm not mistaken.
