That fare to Australia is amazing, but my large ... and long legs snapped me out of my daze and reminded me that we do not do coach TPAC. Still, it does seem to be an interesting marketing and sales opportunity for VA. Or, they simply need the cash now!

Funny story:
We're in audit season in my company and, unbeknownst to me, my T+E reports for the past year were just audited. An auditor just came into my office and, with a very stern look on their face, said: "we've noticed a pattern of abuse on your T+E reports...." [awkward silence as I rack my brain... did the Turnpike actually drop tolls and not tell me?] ... he continued... "Does anyone honestly eat that many meals consisting of Biscuits and Gravy?" :o Yes! :o belynch: So, we're going to make the post office pay for my new stereo now? Auditor: It's a write-off for them. belynch: How is it a write-off? auditor: They just write it off. belynch: Write it off what? auditor: belynch: , all these big companies, they write off everything. belynch: : You don't even know what a write-off is. auditor: Do you? belynch: : No, I don't! auditor: But they do. And they're the ones writing it off. belynch: : I wish I had the last twenty seconds of my life back. |

Picture it: Houston, October 2006. A CO employee miskeys a Y fare for MSP-LGW round trip at $400-something and some change. CO Insider and a bunch of CO FT folks are at a dinner and Do in Cleveland arranged by our own MBM3. Others of us are home in Houston wishing we were in Cleveland (probably one of the few times someone was wishing he was in Cleveland). Random CO FT'er discovers said mistake and tells the crowd. It gets posted here. It's 48 hours or so before CO can do anything to correct it. Scores of FT'ers fly to London from the Snow Capital of the Midwest, sometimes just for a few hours, for less than $500. And many, if not most, fly in BusinessFirst for just an additional 10,000 miles each way. It was wonderful.
And CO hasn't done it since. I'm sure the lonely CO employee who typed the wrong number is rotting away in the super secret CO dungeon of terror deep underneath 1600 Smith Street in beautiful Downtown Houston, surviving on a steady diet of Crystal Geyser water, stadium style peanuts, and the occasional bowl of cheese soup. |
So the LHR T5 commercial comes on while we're sitting downstairs.
Me: "I don't have a clue what this commercial is about." Her (very quickly): "I know." @:-) Me: "Yeah?" Her: "Baltimore Aquarium." This all took place before the shot of the BA jet at the jetway... Her: "Oh; guess not." My fiancee isn't dumb. I can't handle dumb for more than about a minute, and she's been around 2+ years. Come to think of it, she triggered a @:-) in my head with that answer. Could the undersea motif be a reaction to T5's dreadful opening? Undersea could be conveying that T5 is now just as serene and peaceful as being underwater? I haven't seen that theory get floated here. :D |

Same here. I don't want to do trans-Atlantic in coach but I am booked in UA's E+ next winter for one trip, and that's only because it was cheap and it's not an extremely long flight. But no way would I do trans-Pacific in coach.
A week out the flight is ~79/230 seats taken in Y. My wish is that it holds like that. I think that my plan should be to not do OLCI and check-in when I get to EWR and hope that there are a couple of rows towards the front that we can use to spread out in. |

OLCI anyway and be nice to the gate agent. They can still reassign you, or you can just move once you hit cruise. OLCI will get you something you want and hold it just in case.
