Still no BD miles from last weekend's US flights. I think it might be time to scan and email some boarding passes...

Welcome to my world. :rolleyes:

CO is doing the same now, may be having to put the glass on them to heat up the process. http://rolleye.com/closerlook.jpg

After sbm12's comments, I looked up flights from STL to NYC. Your choices are AA to LGA, AA's ERJ's to EWR, or a single DL CR7 to JFK. You may actually be better off driving to PHL depending on what part of NJ you live in.



I'm impressed! I am doing the same thing, in a minor key, next week. I have a trip to STL where I need to be there late enough in the day that the US E175 is very inconvenient, and even WN's times aren't good. I am tempting fate by connecting on UA for each leg of the three leg trip... but the alternative was connecting on AA and taking a US transcon home, and I need the DEQMs to requalify as 1P.

You guys are too much!!:D I know I gotta do some research about this, but I don't have any current plans for another trip due to the upcoming holidays & family obligations (for both of us). New beau actually flies WN a lot, USAir - only when necesaary. I met the CFO for AIG on an EWR-STL flight -- couldn't believe he goes on RJs a lot!:eek::rolleyes:

I'm going JFK-FCO on Thursday and the 5:15PM departure and ~8:00AM arrival means I may be a zombie for the day, if I manage to stay away.

That early departure sucks. If at all possible drug yourself to sleep. Even getting 4-5 hours makes a HUGE difference.

A shower on arrival does tremendous things for me but doesn't work for my wife. I've also found that with a schedule like the one you have a SHORT nap around 1-2pm won't kill you. But you absolutely MUST get up within an hour or so. Any more than that and you don't actually reset your body to the new time and you're screwed.

I'm actually worried that there will be no "go cups" for the bus ride. Is that wrong?? :eek:

If I were starting in EWR I would make up a jug of punch of some sort and bring cups. Sadly the TSA won't let me do that for ORD-EWR.

One should not depend upon the foresight of others for supplies as critical as "go cups." :-:

Everyone headed to the MegaDO have a safe trip! Ms. GadFly and I are about to head to NYC to be in the audience for tonight's Daily Show. Those of you who aren't flying/preparing to fly, don't forget to watch and see if you can spot us when they pan the audience at the beginning of the show. :p

Later Box!

I'm sure Mackieman would have been willing to donate his vodka punch recipe.

The GA just gave a onboard battlefield to an active duty gentleman in uniform. ^^

FWIW, there are still 4 empty seats in F and Y is more than half empty.
