FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I got the VS e-mail for less miles to London now, as well. Except mine said 30K roundtrip
I thought earlier poster's offer was for 29.5
Seems like an ok deal, if positioning is ever needed and one doesn't mind whY

I collected VS miles for a while from car rentals and Hilton stays. (Hey, at 3k/night it was a no-brainer). Then, I tried to redeem the miles so a friend could fly LHR-EWR-LHR. The fuel and other surcharges on the award ticket came to about $400. :td: It was still cheaper than buying a revenue ticket, but not by much.

EUA shennanigans in full force!!! I am going to SFO from IAH on Friday at 11 am and didnt receive my upgrade at the exact five day mark. I am calling the OPSC and cancelling my OnePass account as this is a disgrace!!!

I also must report that I am still not able to find a Chase bank in NYC. I stopped someone on the strret and he mentioned it was next to a Duane Reade? Where the hell are those in NYC!!

(just kidding folks!!)

I did close my chase checking account today so will work on getting the new account soon!

I found an airline to do FRA-DYU -> http://www.somonair.com/

They don't fly rust buckets but we can get a really obscure line: DYU-URC. ^^

Also, DE does FRA-YXY-FAI//ANC-FRA :eek::eek:
