That's the new Spoke Home Identity Travel initiative they've enacted. After proving that the middle initial on your driver's license is really the first letter in your middle name, you are allowed to travel freely between your home and any destination that is achievable in a straight line.

Greetings from the US Club at DCA. I'm spending the entire weekend flying around the country in US F.

I feel like the white crust on top of dried poop.

you feel like 'creame ala poop'? :D

Something like that. I'm feeling a little better now but I have stuff to do so we'll see how it goes.

A quick question for the Penalty Box:

I'm doing the CO SEA-NRT MR over Thanksgiving weekend. Since I live in NJ, I'm burning out my BA miles for a one-way in F. I have two flight options I can take to get there:

1. AA JFK-SEA, op'd with 757, getting into SEA at 745PM, or

2. AS EWR-SEA, op'd with 737, getting into SEA at 959PM.

For the MR, I'm booked on CO's SEA-IAH redeye which departs SEA at 1159PM. I admit the convenience of departing from EWR vs. JFK is a plus for me (I live in Morris County), but I'm also concerned that the not-uncommon ATC delays in the NYC area could throw the entire MR into jeopardy if I take the AS option. Which option would you take, and why? Again, both flights would be in F.

Good morning, box. So nice to be home for a couple days.

I'd have to take the AA flight, that AS flight is just cutting it too close!

I'd go with AA even with the pain of getting to JFK. Any way to get your return flight to come into EWR via ORD?

My return SEA-EWR flight is actually a cheap one-way I puchased on CO that connects nicely from NRT-IAH-SEA, so I'm OK on that front. Though I suppose if it's oversold, I can come back via ORD just the same...;)

First class or coach? Can you spot the difference?

I board in 10 mins here in PHX. Looks like I may just miss you.

That has Awesome™ written all over it.

Any other Box mileage runners this weekend passing through DEN, ORD, or IAD today?

The DCA Club is actually pretty nice. My favorite I've seen so far, though, has been in PHL.
