A big fat :td: to DL.

I attempted to change our return to the nonstop instead of going through CDG given all the :rolleyes:.

Even though they are seats, they refused to budge. This should make for an interesting trip back. I hate CDG.

How many bases do you plan to allow, any less than 6 is really a boring game to play, just IMO. (mix the 6 domestic/intl and it is ok) 8 would be more ideal, don't allow an unlimited, or i will run away with the game in a week :D

On the flip side, the departure of our DL direct flight home changed from 10:00 to 9:55 and they offered to move us to the flight through CDG (to get us home later) for no charge. :confused:

That's DL for you...

Well well, they will not allow us to go past 2009, so I am going to need to rethink the aircraft.

Call back to SkyTeam USA - I was able to change CDG-AMS-ATL-IAD to CDG-IAD citing my concerns "time allocated to security could make first flight late, which would destroy the whole itinerary". This required me being moved from a KL/SkyTeam USA itinerary to an AF one. This was my second platinum waiver for 2009, though.

I'd be wary of expecting to be Diamond with ten stays (ie 5 before Jan 31, 2010). I know for sure that no matter who you are if you do 13 in January, 2010 you'll make it -- and get 6.5 FFN credits!

That was my question about picking the modern aircraft, what about a 737 with 2500 mile range for a starter? Or, a Tu-334-100D....It is a sweet plane.

1,000 would be my diamond amenity - at the HP, there's a G1 but the diamond amenity is only 500 points.
