FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Aww, my old work stomping grounds. I miss the Twin Cities this time of year. Nothing quite like the feeling of going outside with a congested nose from a cold and having it freeze shut while you tramp through the snow to the car.

I get to experience that in MSP a week from tomorrow. :rolleyes:

The fact that I'm excited that it's going to be 52 in LAS on Saturday is sad that I'm setting such low standards.

Interesting. CO is showing a Z fare (225% or 425% with BD) WAS-SJU for $600a/i. Routed via IAH, that would be 27,327 mi @ 2.1cpm at 425%... plus SJU.

Same here. The 2009 kit included 2 very helpful program booklets.

In other news, several eastbound transcons are arriving in under 4 hours today - impressive!

I still have not received my new card. :(

I just had a very amusing conversation with a rep from Chase. I had called regarding my CO World card and the rep began talking about the benefits. One of the things that she listed: "Now that CO and UA have merged, you have even more flights to choose from." :) I asked her if she meant to say that CO had joined *, but she said, "oh no, they merged."

FareCompare F Search. Just plug in different starting cities. You can filter results on the lefthand side of the page. I usually restrict searches to US/UA, when I'm not cruising for pure mistake fares, as they generally have better Q-UP routing rules than CO.

I'm not sure if it's still there or not, but from time to time CO has a PHL-SNA F fare that is under $700. While not as lucrative as a MSP-GEG with four transfers, it's still not a bad deal.

They seemed to have really spread out the distribution - mine just arrived on Monday. The new black card is pretty cool looking.

While I would be all over it, i still have three MSP-GEG runs that will easily take care of my BD qual for next year and then some.

+1. I wish I had grabbed some for 2010 as well. :( Beyond the BD miles, I also enjoyed all the SPG stay credits involved with MSP overnights.

I'm sure you won't be surprised that you are not the first to make that joke. Apparently one of the two had a similar comment on their FaceBook page.

Yeah. I'm waiting either for another mistake, or a decent fare to somewhere fun, that involves new lines.

What SPG by MSP has good rates? The one in Minnetonka has decent rates (and is great for a mattress run for me as its maybe 7 minutes from my apartment), but that's a hike from the airport...
