Done that before on the Beech 1900. Real fun.

Closest I come to hurling was on a crowded seaplane skirting a summer storm on the way back to MLE. Lots of swallowing and ice water avoided a big mess......

Yep, the wind here is unbelievable.today I'm glad I'm at home, in some fleece, thinking about happy hour.

Good news! I can get out of Sulphur tomorrow morning and not go back! A room has opened up at the Marriott Courtyard in Beaumont, so I can be less than 30 miles from the client site instead of almost 50 like I am now. And I can get out of the awful Fairfield in Sulphur after just one more night.

I never thought I'd be excited about going to Beaumont, but hey, it's better than Sulphur!

Excellent :)

Ah, the joys of the UA ICC. Am on hold now whilst the agent gets a supervisor to figure out how to add my BD number to the reservation. Initially, she insisted I would have to call BD to get my BD number added to a UA reservation (:rolleyes:). She then tried to transfer me to UA MileagePlus Customer Service (:rolleyes:).

Then I got ahold of the supervisor:

Me:
"My BD No. is ABCDEFGH"

Supervisor:
"Let me repeat that. AZXRPQGH"

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Proud to say that I've never ralphed inflight...although today's weather might do the trick for some people.

Let me add that I didn't hurl. But others did.

And this is why i'm thankful for the 1k line. Though, they always get confused when I want to put a BD number on my UA res as a 1k. :)

I always make sure to call the ICC when I'm in the mood to laugh. :D

Well, then you're definitely on the right track. I also understand they are great for when you need a routing rule avoided. I have yet to exercise that strength. :cool:

I've got these. My only complaint is that when I fall asleep and the ear phone piece hits let's say my shoulder, pillow, etc. I get a high pitched noise. Other than that, I'm happy. I've had mine for probably a year and have held up quite well. These work especially well with an Ipod and I definitely use these all the time in place of the ac headphones.

I've been a QC2 (I didn't like the on the ear feel of the QC3s) owner for a few years now and I absolutely love them.

I haven't used FHR in quite some time (last time was at the Fairmont Waterfront Vancouver, several years ago). I'm paid up through well into next year, so might as well bank enough points with MR to transfer at 1:1 into a useful program, and reconsider my options.

I've never been able to use the dom 2 4 1 so to me it's not a benefit gone. It is steep and I have Amex Plat in addition to the Chase Presidential Plus but feel the Amex is worth it so far. If they don't keep devaluing! I have only found a few places that don't take AMEX and I always have a back up for that.
