Suffice to say, I'm wondering if going through the production of closing both accounts and reopening them is going to be a MASSIVE pain in the :rolleyes:.

You shouldn't need to close your existing accounts.

Open a new acct, wait until the miles post and then close the new acct, not the old, thus leaving all your stuff in place.

Thank you! So assume no armrests to deal with?


I did an overnight at SEA last year. The WN seats are "lie-flat" seats and are nice and quiet. The CO seats have armrests - :td: and so are not lie-flat seats.

The airport is pretty dead after midnight. Just the cleaning crew roaming around. They didn't bother me, I managed to nap quite a lot. I arrived around 11:30pm and was on the earliest flight out on CO - around 6am if I recall correctly.

This is available today. I know, as I have helped a friend book and confirm such for his honeymoon. :-:

Hmmm, interesting, last time I tried this it was a big fat no and I was told I had to go back the same way I came...

Whisky Tango :rolleyes:... IAH-LAX fares are $450 for mid-March across nearly all carriers. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Cool.

I'm thinking this may be worth it for ATM access at places like IAH and EWR where they don't seem to have BoA ATMs, oh, and the miles ;)

In other news, CO is working towards increasing EWR-LHR to 5x daily! They're adding a 4th flight (3rd 752) on 3/28 and then adding the 5th flight (4th 752) on 10/31. Part of the increase is probably related to only having 1 widebody on the route this year, but they also must be doing quite well between EWR and LHR.

I saw that and I approve. :)

I really like the 10:10pm departure from EWR.

I thought this route only had a single widebody for a while, including this past summer. Though, this past summer they did have the four flights, the fifth one is the bonus.

I'm surprised they aren't adding that fifth flight to CLE though...

Hmmm. This may be worth dealing with teh BD ICC to see if I can tag on IAH-LAX-IAH to my Australia itinerary. 40 Quid in change fees and ICC :rolleyes: seems worth it in this instance. :-:

Good point. While I have yet to do the Alcatraz tour, I can imagine this being the only reason for actually going near Fisherman's Wharf.

Why the hate on Fisherman's Wharf? :confused:

And I wonder if CO is benefiting from LHR slots opening because of BD.

Maybe CO will bid for BD and we could combine accounts ^

With the annual fee on the debit card, I can't imagine actually keeping the account. I'm in it for the 25k miles. :)

IMO, it's a useless tourist trap that doesn't do any justice to the wonderful city that is San Francisco.

Anglo Large Clawed Otter Jan 29, 2010 8:18 am

LOL. WN is $125 more than almost all the majors for the same dates. I'm sure there's kettles out there falling all over themselves to book such "good deal" Spring Break fares.
