Speaking of HiltonHHonors, still no response back from Waldorf Astoria Trianon Palace.

BA Matching BD Golds that are residents of Belgium, Netherlands, Ukraine, Israel to BA Gold :eek:

The world has gone mad. BA is (or was) infamous for never matching status, ever. BA Gold gets OneWorld F Lounge access. Now, time to find an address in Belgium, Netherlands, Ukraine, or Israel. :D:D:D

Maybe Air Astana can lend you a dacha. :-:

I just saw the most 'tarded commercial ever produced (and that includes public access and local advertising). Somehow, a company called Mo' Money Taxes has 250 locations nationwide.

Heh. If I can find an address, I wouldn't think twice about this one. Doubt BA is ever going to make a habit of matching people to their top-tier (especially from such a humble top-tier as BD Gold). This :-:is:-: the once-in-a-lifetime status match. :D

Total RDM earning is in the range of 19K, which is 2.5cpm on this fare, which ain't too shabby to Hawaii. As for the EUA stuff, I could just do a CC trade for a CR-1. Would be a good excuse to unload some of my HHonors points (:rolleyes:).

i am only seeing lowest priced flights on HA... HA17

I would think the Wayan's would still have some legal claim to that phrase.

How much time in SEA?
I have been thinking about a same day turn to SEA to go visit the Boeing plant.

3 1/2 hours, or enough time to get some soup at the Boardroom and chat with the best CO PClub agents ever.

I priced out ~$456a/i IAH-DEN-SFO-LIH-LAX-ORD-IAH on .bomb. Base fare was around $380, IIRC.

I think the thread said the cheapies were good only for Fri-Sun travel (which can include Mon on the return, due to the redeye ex-Hawaii).

This Youtube video has phone numbers for the locations in another state
but the commercial caused me physical pain.

Fair point, but I want her to experience it. She's not much of a drinker, and I have talked up my favorite breakfast and lunch on the planet (Cafe Du Monde followed by Johnny's Po Boy) way too much. I had also considered proposing in Jackson Square.
