It looks like DL is kicking off the mass reduction of winter fares to Europe! ^

Sub-$400 fares to FRA, TXL and MUC (out of JFK) just popped up on FC.

SkyTeam USA did lay down some low fares today.

My goal is to load up on Cheapo Winter TATL fares (and maybe a TPAC) for early next year.

My goal is to fly enough to remain SkyTeam USA Platinum and abuse the heck out of BD.

Actually, most of the money went to the exceedingly dysfunctional family that runs an exceedingly rewarding customer program.

Luckily the bar the the DFW PC is still open :)

Mine is more nuts. I have proof.

Seriously, Saturday I'm flying MSY-DEN-ORD-IAD-ATL on them. Total cost for all that is around $200. And it looks like all upgrades are going to clear, and that itinerary will cost me a single E-500.

My condolences. I will have 12 (of 67) flights this year on Barbie jets but 4 of those were to attend CO Do IV based upon a combination of cost and inflexible work commitments.

I will do almost anything to avoid CR2s unless the price point does not give me many other options. In the Skyteam days that would be CAK or ERI to DTW.

I'm getting good at being paid to get VDB'ed off said CR2s.

Friendly follow-up email to diamond dot club at flybmi dot black-hole of uncertainty sent. :-:

And I'm still BD Blue. I really take e-mail to Customer Service as indicative of my expectations of the company.

Wait till you have to deal with the ICC. :-:

His assistant did though and had to leave the room she was laughing so hard.

Absolutely priceless.

I had the exchange Monday:

Technician: Hi - my name is Robin.
Me: That's easy to remember - that's my mom's name. I'm (icurhere2's real name).
Technician: That's easy to remember - that's my boyfriend's name.

Not near the quality of yours, though.

We're certain you'll land on your feet quickly.

Yeah, I was in a conference room with the guy giving the presentation to the client. The point being that I was there to hear the presentation so that I may give it myself eventually. So I actually needed to listen, which was tough at times.

They have something called a pneumatic "mole" which can actually pull line underground. In my case, the Gas/Water Department got the mole stuck under the sidewalk so ...

I am glad the NBA has cranked back up again so I can get my bi-weekly dose of Charles Barkley attempting to speak English. It's great fun.
