Thus says the economist.

Miller Lite is definitely an opportunity cost (but I've frequently have acquired free after rebate beer).

so if I misconnect tomorrow, it is looking good for still sitting in first EWR to FLL, lots of open seats in F. :D

Bummer. I was excited to get this thing up and working. I'm doing a same day MR to SAN on Tuesday and want to take it with me!

You still can! Download via the computer and use it for the MR. Ship it back when you get home.

I took home the surplus Sam Adams from her family's Christmas party. Not sure I really like it.

The joys of flying on Saturdays...I've always found them quite nice for sitting in bigger seats closer to the front of the plane.

I'm doing PHL-IAH on a Sunday next month. The weekday equipment is a 738 or 739, and for Sundays it's a 735. If I do get an EUA, she can have it and I'll rock the exit row. I also am booked on CO1776 on the following Wednesday...EUA or bump would be nice.

I should have added the asterisk of 735s not counting toward these stats...

I think some Sam Adams varietals are excellent while others are profoundly :rolleyes: Tell me what you have and I'll give you my personal categorization.

My fiancee and I scored the last two seats in F on a 735 from CLE-MCO and MCO-CLE last year with upgrade certs. Midday weekday flights; no Elites going to Mouseland.

Indeed...some are quite solid (I love Summerfest), but others are incredibly :rolleyes: and not worth drinking...

I only missed three flights all of last year and two were my fault (plane selection). I'm still amazed I missed ATL-BNA on a MD-88.

Another reason why I love the hublet.

IIRC I have a few each of Boston Lager and Winter Brew. Her family does not have good taste in spirits. An imported beer sighting would be a miracle.
