What a quaint and convenient term for a posted tariff.

Helps me meet multiple goals:

A. Burn HiltonHHonors points,
B. Requires that I make a visit to Versailles, which is on the bucket list,
C. I can go the one day I don't have a room in the PH Paris Vendome ;)

This also happens to be a hotel that goes to 50,000 (low) and 60,000 (high) in January ...

True. I didn't really want to get into it with the :rolleyes:s at UA customer service, as I didn't want to risk having something really bad entered into the PNR that might result in a FUBAR in case of irrops. Best not to burn bridges before the flights are in the bag. Also, I've burned UA pretty good on the MSP-GEG runs, so I can't really get too upset over a single DEN-GEG segment in E+. I plan to request full F credit for it from BD. :D

At this time yesterday, I was confirmed as spending New Years in LAS on a flight itinerary that involved WN. Yep.

Concur. He was, once. When he wrote short stories, some were pretty good. One I recall for tonight: Count Dracula senses the sun going away, turns into a bat, and flies to the home of the night's victims. He's greeted at the door with "Why Count, what a surprise! Have you come to watch the eclipse with us?"

When he made movies, he was sort of funny. But then, when he became a Film Maker, it got darker and stranger.

This would be precisely my plan in this scenario but I would be taking the downgrade out on the RCC's snack/beverage supplies in the interim.

I was considering heading over to take in the spectacle. I think that I might just go sit at the bar and have dinner instead. Gimme a buzz if you get tired or hungry and want to bail out of it.

I brought my noise-canceling headset with me. Might that be an intermediate option?

Interception for a TD!!

The rout it on. I'm outta here. Time to go enjoy the scenery in the 'hood.

Man, you ain't at some PTA sponsored walk down Main Street somewhere in the Heartland. It's a world famous, world class event. I envy you.

I think its like a cult or something .... That's ok I guess I can sympathize. I used to drink the red kool-aid before those folks in ATL cut me off.:(

The Blue COolAid is so much tastier!! :D

It was just before this February's DO (when I was getting ready to depart for PTY). You were guesting in some guy wearing a Khaki Utility Kilt. :-:

I recall those moments, I do remember ask who you were? :cool: I had been par taking in a Caipirinha! After one of those I can not be held responsible for anything!!

I'm literally envious at the moment.

:D Now to go change my earning style for the StarMegaDo. Will have three UA flights and the LH B Class flights to add to the BMI status. BTW, I would suggest resending as it seems like your fell through the cracks. I sent off info on Monday of this week and had new status by Friday.

@Scott6067: The menus for your friend are packed. I gave up and am checking a bag. You'll see them in FRA.

Sounds great!! My friend will be very happy and will enjoy hearing that the menus got more miles flying than she did although she flys at least once a month!! :D

I know I had a flight listed as a CO-Pilot but I think that was before this year in my own FM!

I think I am going to go by the airport in a few and see if the plane that brought UT is here and see what other planes I can spot at the SWO airport!!
