Lol - no, but I think I got food poisoning from something I ate at the FRA train station this morning.

I guess that doesn't just happen on UA, eh? ;)

Bad spinach and cheese borek, I think. No more train station food for me.

That is correct my honor.

I am finally home, my luggage however, is still in BRU.

The KLM agent insisted that my CO codeshare was a KL flight and that I had to abide by the KL carry-on rules. I should have put up more of a fight but I was tired and somewhat incoherent

Just remember I've got the "other" karokee video. :D

heh, so noted.

I got "op-uped" to E+ on UA. I did get a whole row to myself again. I am now officially the master of sleeping through TATL flights.

Finally home at 1am. Just made the BRU-AMS-EWR connection in AMS due to late KL BRU-AMS. But CO AMS-EWR was on time but arrived to snow. Our 7:30pm EWR-DCA left EWR at 11pm.

I've been getting all the alerts (5 of them) and now see it at just over 5 hours delayed, plus headwinds flying home. I'll probably suck it up and just wait it out. I'm not in that much of a hurry to get back and I only need to make it to EWR, not onward.

cova, they won't switch you to UA now because it is now a wx delay, not a mx like it originally posted yesterday.

Agreed but originally it was mechanical which caused the ripple. I complained about mechanical being the reason - and they would not put me on UA since they said UA was not accepting other tickets because of inauguration. Would not put me on DL either - since I was on a revenue ticket. If I was on award ticket I could have switched to DL.

Overall - CO continues to have real bad irregular ops. We need to bring this up at the DO. CO was going to try to improve - but they have not. The problem is the reason for the delay/cancellation always being weather/ATC.

conditions were pretty bad at EWR yesterday , it started snowing around 1 pm and visibility was very very poor .
The snow did not stop until around 7:15 pm

Slept for 6 hours on AMS-IAH, then got home and slept for another 12 solid hours. What a weekend. I'm so glad I don't live in BRU, as I'm fairly certain I would have died years ago.

Good to see everyone and meet new folks as well. I'm sure I'll be ready for the next one of these if my liver transplant clears.

Oh, God, there was video...

I will allow the singers to identify themselves if they wish. Please note that this video is posted in good fun only - I will gladly take it down if someone in the video would like me to.

Enjoy! The guy dancing in front of them is classic... :D

Oh, good, the really embarrassing footage didn't make it onto Youtube. :D

I just wish we had video of how happy the guy looked at the Celtica bar when you told him he looked like a U.S. actor (J.K. Simmons). The more I look at that picture, the more the guy in BRU looks like him. :p

I'm convinced it was him. He probably was just pretending to be Belgian so as not to blow his cover.
