Yes, at least for 50% of the fat.

For those in the know, can I get some alliance clarification? Two have the same base. Is it the one that avoided a failed marriage to the ugly girl a while back that folks are able to trim fat? Trying to dump that one only results in about ~50% for me.


PM if necessary.

Thanks WWE. I do see it. FDing so far not optimal with this meal though, especially with the way tea is taxed!

Keep looking. One lead airline that is well known in the US, but probably not top of mind for most of us. Small country though.

Other airlines hail from Olympic host countries on both sides of the pond

Available from 9/13, loaded yesterday

514 ai, although it was a high bar I had to cross to get that fare to dump. 220 lbs of fat remain at that rate
