Not at all :D, I was actually deliberately responding to yet another DL v. CO thread in teh Box as (1) it was slow herein and wanted to keep the posting going and (2) I think that the CO main forum has lost a little bit of its collegiality and seems to engage in a bit more of "gotcha". As to (2), it is just my honest opinion. Y'all may feel differently, and as always have total respect for that if anyone does.

I made a pound of large shrimp to force myself to eat. I don't like to waste food and there's no way I'm wasting something that costs that much ...

Though, I have yet to find a 50k EU Y reward. I'm trying to book something for the sister who does not need to fly C and i can't find anything at the saver level. :mad::mad::mad:

By the way, is it wrong to ask that the CBP agent at the US port of entry be kind enough to say "Welcome home"?? I had a very nice CBP agent at EWR after having come in from AMS who pleasantly said such and it sounds tacky, but it gave me a little chill. :)

You are indeed correct - A333 DTW-AMS, A332 AMS-ATL.

Isn't MEM-AMS also a 332?

That's normal at EWR since 2004. They even say to visitors to have a nice vacation at EWR.

I'm finding a number of options 12-15 February NYC-LON at 60k (if that's what you're seeking).

Ahh - that explains the traffic jams in downtown Newark earlier. I finally bailed on eating downtown and headed to EWR for a PC visit...

That's because there is only availability on days ending with letters other than "y"

What exactly is "that" much for you?:D And there's no way I'd eat shrimp if I wasn't feeling well.

IIRC they say that about 50% of the time.

I believe it is a 333 now. Looking at the schedule indicates it as such.

Even the SEA-AMS flight is a 333, up from a 332.

Indeed sir. 1pm game that ended in regulation, so it was jammed during the lunch hour and again a little after 4:00.

Hmmm, oh, i was looking for something in Dec. I'll keep plugging away, thanks.

Btw, what are you using to find it? nwa.com or dl.com? i've been having better luck with nwa.com but still weird luck. One minute a flight is available. I do the search again and it's not. Wait a few, and then it's there again.

It's like they are pulling inventory as it's being searched for.
