Which should I take, may or may not be doing an intl trip on UA for the 20%.

Can you stack % off with VDBs or ecerts?

Someone just advise which to take as I have been waiting for weeks to decide and want to do it tonight before I forget and it expires.

I'd go with sbm12 and say the 20%, especially if you're planning a TATL or Int'l C/F trip sometime soon.

Ugh, definitely. 20% was a hard choice when the e-certs were $300-$400, but now it's a slam-dunk. They're probably hoping most people will use them for a cheap domestic flight. I'll take that gamble.

Hello B:rolleyes:x.

Yesterday was a real nice day. ^
Spent with great friends.

About 20 of us went to the Union Trust Steakhouse in PHL. Three Vegetarians in the group. (LOL).
But, the veggie sides were humongous and pretty awesome.

The meat eaters cleaned their plates totally.
So, this is a good(great) place for food.

The Ambience was excellent as well. We stayed till they had to close the doors past midnight.

I've changed routing a few times, normally to shorter routing, bypassing IAH to go to EWR directly etc.

it normally takes a phone call if a low level person doing it, but the supervisors can do it with no issue, this is normally at DFW so maybe it is a training matter, I am not sure :)

Yes, there appears to be one today, but no, I think it is this end of the world thing predicted in a few days. Notice, the boarding process changes are almost at the exact same time? Oh, I smell conspiracy.

<Complete and total joke folks;)>

:rolleyes: What happens when they wake up the next day right where they were when they went to sleep? Do they go back to their cave and re-calculate?

They will probably blame that the rest of the world screwed up. And we are still alive.

Where is this place? And were the veggie sides the standard steakhouse fare (creamed spinach, asparagus, etc.)?

I believe the gentleman in question has predicted the end of the world before. I think the last time the world didn't end he blamed incorrect calculations.
