For the same price that CO (and the other majors) want for IAH-LAX, I can do IAH-LIT...(free rental day)...XNA-LAX-LAS-LRD...(free rental day back to Houston)

Would get three new lines, a new carrier, and three new dots.

If you go to Little Rock and you've never been before, the Clinton Museum is decent. As is Whole Hog Cafe (very good BBQ).

This is quite common. The 752s arrive at Terminal B or C3 and then get towed out to hard stands to be cleaned and staged for the evening TATL departures. A few of them go down to FL (or similar) for the afternoon and return for the later TATL departures (or continue to IAH, RON at EWR, etc).

I typically dread going through EWR so avoid it, it was just perfectly fine last week however. So I don't see how many are usually out there, I was thinking several would normally be however that is why I said this+2 (the +2 being extras for LHR route issues)

I have that stupid compensation ditty I thought up stuck in my head. It is frightening, every time I go to the main CO forums.

Mrs. MBM3 sang a nice compensation ditty when she got an unexpected voucher for dealing with "diapergate" and the 8 hour delay in SFO.

I think I should have gotten one as well for picking her up at 04:00!
:p

I heard that Clinton wanted to make the entire city a library so everyone had to be quiet. :p

Avis just sent email that they are removing from their fleet all Toyotas included in their recall, including the Pontiac Vibe.

For a while, I wouldn't be surprised if they held a dedicated fleet of 752s in EWR just for the LHR runs. Sending them to FL can be a little risky with delays and such. It would be out of character for CO to do this, but you never know...

Conversely, CO's character seems to be changing thanks to the Star transition.

I think it is a little of that and a little of the new CEO.

When US' waiver does come, make sure to check to see if the ticket becomes refundable or changeable for a future trip.

Just canceled the unused portion,, have a 106 credit now with US

US issued their lame weather waiver. Can only get a refund on wholly unused tickets, and any new itinerary has to start within 7 days.

See above, are y'all getting it over there yet?

15 credits for me for mileathon. Don't think that's right somehow, I'm sure I did more OLCI than 1???? Whatever! How many measly miles does 15 credits get me?

mine doesn't look right either

Has anyone here ever slept at SEA? I checked sleepingatairports.com but would like some real time input. Arrive at 11:15 - leave 9:05 the next morning. $50 for a hotel but I'd like to save it.

I'd be REALLY surprised if you couldn't PL a room for much less than that

I try to just avoid those type places but now have a bit of a back-up should I stumble into one by mistake

awaiting the blizzard here in RDU land

Yes, it was. We departed about 1:15 late and took off on the western runways. Even the roll down the runway was strange - you could really feel the crosswinds. The whole first hour of the flight was extremely turbulent... it felt like a good ride at Cedar Point!

Landed at CLE at midnight, and was home by 1 am.

Guess who just :rolleyes:'ed into work after the company outing...

Is anyone else having issues logging in to their OnePass account on CO.com?

Or 3 :p
