BD Gold would give access to lounge on domestic *A itineraries but I don't know if that's a one-time match.

I have never seen an AAA rate better than default. :rolleyes:

The Hyatt NB would require train PHL-EWR, EWR-NB, NB-PHL (don't know the routings), toting luggage until after the game. Think I will take my chances with the car.

AAA rate almost always seems lower on weekends when I travel with Hyatt - just did a search for HP BNA Airport for tonight - $65.00 AAA, $77.00 best rate.

It is likely a one-time though not a huge deal since it will be M&M soon enough. The bigger issue is that generally no *A to *A match so it won't work from CO.

IMHO the BD status match does not do a heck of a lot for those who do not plan on ALCOing them for creative rewards.

I need to find appropriate QUps before going all ALCO on them.

The Kindle commercial has to be about the most :rolleyes::confused: thing I've seen on television lately.

Freezing pellets of :rolleyes:.

Good morning Box.

We have about an inch of snow (does not even cover the grass!), and Mr.onlyairfare, who grew up in Syracuse, is complaining bitterly about the "terrible snow." :rolleyes:

Howdy Box!

Morning from a little wet, gray and chilly CLT (based on CLT standards of course;)). Going this afternoon to my friend's house to watch Gators and the Tide. SEC is big in these part as Y'all may know.:)

Edit to Add: No snow yet in "South" CLT.

I like the lounge access, too. But you're generally correct.

My Media Center Extender won't find the Media Center now. :mad:

Plus, I spent most of the morning fighting with this rather than watching pre-game for UF-Alabama. :mad::mad:

Yes, I should have mentioned that as well.
