I need to figure out if I have the stomach to do an EWR-HKG turn (held a reservation in the B bucket ) after doing DCA-SFO twice.

:rolleyes:

Agreed. I particularly like the physical description data. :D

EWR-FRA is down to $610 a/i. IIRC, this is how it happened around this time last year. There was a small drop and then a week or so later the fares dropped further to much more reasonable levels. :-:

EWR-DUS-FRA-LHR(LH)-EWR(CO) would be a nice routing... :)

How much is the B fare?

Between regular EQM, double EQM, Extra Mile, and Gold bonus RDM, all those miles should take about a week to show up, no?

Why not US , the have a flight every 5 minutes according to the schedule colpuck posted last month.

Those are LGA-PHL. I suppose he could connect through PHL, though he may prefer to whack himself in the head with a stick repeatedly.

Edited to remove stupid suggestion about Amtrak that is entirely impractical for someone living in Rockland County.

Gold Bonus will show up at same time as original posting, others may takes 2 weeks.

I was walking around IAH both times yesterday looking around like I might see someone I know from FT. Weird but true.

I will need to look into that -- want to take advantage of whatever plat 'amenities' I am entitled to -- for the possible short time that I will have it!;):p:-:

Or it could take 38 days, which is the current wait time for MegaDo flights. :rolleyes: :mad:

Found out that my mother was not the source of the problem. It was the guy's wife.

IME, regular EQM take about a day or two, double EQM arrive the following Saturday, and I'm pretty sure bonus RDM post at about the same time regular RDM do.
