Let me know if that one turns out to be sub-$500. :)

Sadly, still hovering right around $580. I've got EWR-DUS-LEJ//DRS-FRA-EWR and an FD segment at that price right now. The EWR-DUS leaves ridiculously early - 4:45pm - but at least you're in LEJ early enough to have your choice of trains into PRG.

Vueling from BCN

Problem seems to be simply getting to Europe in general. Doing the 300 mile radius search across the continent I literally cannot find anything cheap. Nothing. It is very frustrating.

That does stink. Me wonders if this will change after the airlines release their quarterly/yearly numbers.

Greetings from SEA PC club.
Gourging on bagels with Nutella and Cream Cheese. Baileys and Coffee in hand, Eyes scanning the horizon looking/hoping 787 flys by. Taking a few pictures as well- sorry no special lamps.

Glancing at the Sea times, it appears that 787 is still over weight-by a couple TONS

For those with Facebook
 
I have recently become a fan of Pam Ann the comedian. She is too fun at times. She linked to an article about the 50 funniest jokes of the year. She was #50. Kinda like the last upgrade as you depart the gate.

Her joke is funny and timely for the box:

50 EasyJet are like minicab drivers. ‘How much to Prague?' 'I’ll do it for a tenner.’ (Pam Ann)


Another funny one:
20 A hotel mini-bar allows you to see into the future and find out what a can of Pepsi will cost in 2020. (Rich Hall)

Classic! Go Delta.

I can't wait to return to the lovely DL terminals at JFK next week. :rolleyes:

Studying for the math portion of the Praxis I suh-huh-huh-ucks.

I am having violent flashbacks to 8th and 10th grade math classes...the 8th grade teacher was an old man who clipped his toenails in class and did not bother to learn the gender of his students despite knowing our names...I got called Ms. CM waaaaaaaaaaaay too many times for my liking, which is to say "more than once".

10th grade was a really great teacher, but this one girl in the class who just annoyed me...she once mentioned that she had to take a makeup test, and without missing a beat I spit out "You'd better pass a test at making up your face, because you're failing now." This happened in October or November of the school year, and it was remembered to the point that references to that incident appeared in yearbook autograph messages in June.

It was also a first period class, and as Lewis Black said "there is nothing you can learn out of one bloodshot eye".

Yes, he's pretty cute really, but sometimes he is such a pain! It's like having another baby!

My 90 pound four legged assistant thinks he is a lapdog as well and loves curling up with me in on the couch. Mrs. MBM3 gets so annoyed that he is a daddy's boy through and through. ^^

I would rather have a clingy lap cat than a super-hyper cat (or another crazy-by-Siamese standards Siamese ...)

BCN seems to be cheapest destination on the continent right now. I can get a FD itinerary down to $467 but then have to add the BCN-PRG segment. Vueling is EUR70-80 that weekend. That brings the total back up near $600 in a hurry.
