Very nice offer - should add that if the certificate has the dining option, a stay isn't required to get the bonus points at a full-service Hyatt.

This certificate has said dining bonus.

First PM gets it.

If I have reward seats from JFK-IST, can I back track in to western Europe for my stop over (before continuing on to JNB)? I'm thinking no, but I wanted to confirm with The Box.

Note to existing Plats: At Park Hyatt Paris Vendome last winter, a Platinum Extra was good for a very nice full-sized bottle of wine.

Yeah...it was nice. A special thanks to the two very attractive women not wearing particularly much fabric who were sitting behind Olton Hall throughout dinner. I hope you two enjoy the rest of your evening. :D :eek: :p

I just checked on the 'pets in cabin' thread. Big mistake. After a smorgasbord of 'no one under 18 in F', 'there are more people with dog allergies than legitimate service dogs', and various 'better dogs than bozos' opinions later, I'm ready to attach a noose to an elevator ceiling and press the down button. Or, if that doesn't work, watch a movie.

Good night.

McCarver's an idiot - "remember to turn your clocks back an hour so you won't be late". Even though time's a human construct, he doesn't grasp said concept.

And you didn't offer to change seats with him at any point to share the wealth?

I would give it less except that the station has nothing to really lose by leaving it on the air. Ditto for Lopez.

Tough call. Technically I'd bet that IST is a viable routing to western Europe if you can convince a CO agent to plug it in to the system and give it a try. Their routing rules really are very loose historically. Very.

There's apparently a Halloween party at the apartment that I share a back yard with. They are out back smoking ant otherwise being loud. I don't mind too much now while I am awake and watching the game, but I'm going to be really annoyed in an hour. More so because there aren't any attractive women scandalously dressed as part of the crowd. http://rolleye.com/closerlook.jpg

Also, Isiah Washington call a Yankees comeback at 3-0 as I was leaving the bar. Olton Hall heard it. Thus far he seems to actually be dead-on accurate. I'm not complaining.

Your really trying to sell that coupon arent you!!

Technically no, but you might be able to finesse it in just by trying with the ICC.
ETA - I assumed you were talking about BD. If you were talking about CO, I agree with Seth.

It's Halloween, and you've just seen the ghost of Yogi Berra.

Have we actually met in person? Turns out I am really a jerk. :p

Thanks, I will have to call and give it a try. It's almost scary how easy it is to find F availability on the 77Ws to IST. I just need to figure out where in Western Europe we want to back track to and then how I want to get down to JNB.

Go Yankees! ^

I would be interested if I could get decent value out of it but I know I can't - remaining revenue stays are in Hyatt Places while award stays are all full-service Hyatts (where diamonds get the check-in food amenity and free breakfast by default).

The Phillies seem to be more interesting in hitting ARod than just walking him. :rolleyes:
