ST America is at it again - DTW - HNL 3x weekly? Makes a ton more sense than SAN, but me thinks they are saturating a low margin market. If anything I would have pushed back the DTW departure time so you can pull some connections from the EU.

Well, years ago DTW-HNL used to exist (back in the D10 days). I think NW just ran out of widebodies to sustain it. And those flights always ran full and have little competition. Think of all the folks in MI who would love to escape to HI during the winter.
It would be cool to snag some new lines. :D |

Another option to try and get some value out of DL's SWUs. ^

Yeah so much value to those generally worthless pieces of paper.:rolleyes: Remember, one can still not use them on a NW "TKL" or a DL "LUT" even if domestic. It is "V" and higher for NW and/or "K" and higher for DL.

As I noted last night, the iphone is a pretty cool toy. Still getting used to the "keyboarding" on it, but it sure has some cool tech features.:-:
I need the boxes help. My wife and I are going to be getting some smartphones. I'm leaning towards the Motorola Droid (since my new for 2 price is $99), but not sure what to get my wife. She's kinda meh on that (plus it's $200 for her) and just wants something to check email and the occasional internet. I want to get her something with a full screen, so most of the BlackBerries are out. Do people have any opinions/experience with the following phones:
I guess it roughly breaks down to an HTC ,Samsung or BlackBerry model. |

Not sure what that had to do with Wegmans, but thanks for bringing up the topic of cellphones.

Using them on BE/WBC equipped flights to Hawaii seems to be the best value. I haven't checked recently, but a few months ago there were DL K fares in the $800 range for Spring 2010 travel (EWR-ATL-HNL). Throw a SWU at it, and it's not a bad deal.

Yeah, I don't disagree. I guess I am still bitter about not being able to use miles anymore on "cheapies" to the islands.:rolleyes: Could get the $400 or sub fares on NW via MSP on the A333 to HNL and it only needed 17.5K per way to upgrade IIRC. It really was a sweet deal.:)

When I was looking the other day they were closer to the $1k mark. :(
I have a feeling my SWUs will just go to waste. Although, who knows what kind of DL fares will come up between now and 2/2011. |

I'm surprised they didn't put a 763 on the route and use the 330 for something else. Though it's possible they need the seating density of a 333 to make money on the route. |
