It's a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in bacon... lots and lots of bacon. :-:

Most of Middle Europe is so pretty it should be criminal. The men are so fashion-forward that they seem to be one step ahead of the trendsetters, and the women are just genetically blessed.

I'm guessing there are never any good MRs out of IAH, correct?

There are a few weekend specials that are good values. Last weekend was IAH-GCM.

RE the LH "change" I'm a bit confused. I'm going back through the forum trying to find some evidence of what it used to be. Of course, seaching for LH TATL is rather dysfunctional but I found this quote:

It just seems that for US-Europe, Mileage Plus provides full mileage for most discounted classes on partners, whereas CO only offers 50%. If at some point, the One Pass Elite benefits are also provided to UA Mileage Plus Elite members, what would be the benefit of being a CO Elite versus UA?
That suggests that CO was only offering 50% previously. I would've sworn that it was the other way but at least one post (from late October) disagrees.

I hate having to do exams in which the purpose is to see if your opinion comes close to that of the professor.

I distinctly recall Intra-Europe being subjected to 50% earnings, and not other flights. I've sent a PM to the appropriate individual, so hopefully the nature and timing of any changes made to earnings policies can at least be cleared up.

My LH Y TATL experience (exit row, 343) was actually better than any of my CO Y TATL experiences (minus the lie-flat Y ones, of course). Although, LH FAs clearly hate speaking English. I had to tell the same FA several times that I didn't speak a word of German.

I experienced the same thing on Iberthia. I can speak a little spanish but when they speak too fast I can only catch a word or two. I just quit telling them I didnt speak spanish and pointed when I wanted something.
