If you need someone on the phone or web (full PC / web access) from CDG, let me know. I'll do what I can.

Thanks. I'm on Skype now from the lounge here and have found inventory on a flight from BCN-NYC on the 4th. I'd happily just throw away the DL tickets if I can still get home. TK folks are a pain in the arse pretty bad.

Are flights ex-IST covered by the EU regulations?

Hello Wizard, where are you ringing in the new year and decade? I have just finished my report, it was easy.

Just got effed. The TK flight is officially 3 hours delayed now. :mad:

If they had told me last night I'd have options. Now, almost nothing. Very, very upset right now.

I am currently in BCN and the weather is amazing. Definitely not missing the cold in NJ.

Managed to get CO to change the flight home to BCN-BRU-LHR-EWR with the last one on VS. Get to visit the Clubhouse, it seems.

Still, looks like NYE in BCN is saved for us.

Off for a bit - first on the Clarins massage list in the AF 2E Lounge.

Had to drop way more money than I wanted to get a one-way IST-BCN but the TK folks wouldn't budge on that. I managed to get the seats for 30% off their price via Travelocity so it isn't all bad.

This unexpected expense does preclude me spending notably less on PRG DO, however. :(

Last quote of the night -- my new favorite song:

Well I guess I needed a miracle If I was gonna make my flight I had to get to gate C13 And it was still way out of sight Something in my carry on bag Tipped off the x-ray machine 'Cause then an angel straight from heaven Asked me to 'step behind that screen' And when I felt the wand sweep over me You know I never felt so clean

[Chorus:] Well you won't find my name on your list Honey you know I ain't no terrorist Confiscate my shoes, my cellphone You know I love you, Security Joan

I hung out at the Starbucks 'til just around boarding time Then I strolled on back to the checkpoint Just one thing on my mind She flashed that crooked smile and said 'Well I believe you missed your flight'. I said 'There's been a minor change of plan, And I'll be stayin' for one more night'. I could tell from the way she looked at me Everything was gonna be all right

[Chorus] Search me now!
