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.

And there are 30 elites still on the list, right? :D

My old dog was never a fan of my mother's attempts to put reindeer antlers on him for the few weeks before Christmas. He would always tear them off, but for the 30 seconds that they stayed on his head before he did so, we never laughed harder.

My parents have a pumpkin suit for their rat dog (a Brussels Griffon). :rolleyes:

Water, water, and a little more water. (aisle seat preferable ;) ) Though Box heresy, no alcohol beyond wine with food. Exercise: walk the aisles, stretch, etc. Sugars, and a couple of granola bars lifted from the PC club, taken with coffee. If you live at sea level, remember you're 6 hours in 8000 ft atmosphere. The key is blood oxygen level.

Remember I'm an old guy; YYMV.

Have a great time.

Two G&Ts and a Xanax usually does it for me. Then I try to function for an entire day (hopefully until 10pm or so) at my destination. Fortifying myself with strong, carb-filled Czech/German/Belgian/Alsatian beer at my destination usually helps, as does bracing cold. I find myself more lethargic when trying to do a quick European weekend in summer temperatures.

Are we talking about westbound or eastbound?

When I go to Europe I try to sleep as much as possible and stay up as late as possible when I arrive.

When returning, I stay awake the entire flight (maybe a cat nap) and then go to bed at my normal time when I get home.

Tons of water.

They post normally but your stays and nights counter increase should reflect the double promo.

I finally booked my Plat qualifying stay on 11/21. Looking forward to some nice suite upgrades next year. :D

Hope so. Live like it is, or die trying.

I was over 25 and had 2 stays, so now says 27, but I see nothing about them counting for next year.

Did you sign up for the rollover promo or the double nights/stays promo?
