Teh Penalty Box | part 2

The second worst thing about flying out of CLT is that inevitably someone will bring a box of Bojangles on the airplane, and make the entire place smell like fried chicken.

The worst is that flying out of CLT generally involves flying US.

QFT

Was his name Leroy Jenkins?

back when Papas bros had a bbq place on the high side of E I bought a plate of pork BBQ and brought it on the plane. My seatmate was muslim.

I wonder how convoluted I can make my Thursday afternoon EWR-BOS routing via SDC? I was thinking EWR-IAD-ORD-CLE-BOS.

I'd say you're evil, but there's no way you knew the seatmate was Muslim in advance (assuming that the seatmate wasn't someone traveling with you).

Potbelly Sandwich Works. For sure.

More split-terminal insanity. Now at LAX:

Should be fun checking in at T6 and hiking to T8...

The SFO changes haven't been listed, probably because it's not 6/1 yet.

Holy small plane! I was reading on a.net and a whole bunch of folks are skeptical that they can make $$ on such a small plane...they were also saying that the A320 won't have the range, without weight restrictions, to make it.

I'm not a mechanic, so....

*shrug*

Tacos al pastor...they're what's for dinner!

It's really not that bad. You check in at the junction of T6 and T7, so you're in the middle already. It's far less than the hike within EWR's Terminal C.

CO was always over in 6, that's where the PC (now UC) is.

There's one in T7 too.

HNL MR puts me at 71,998 PQMs.

Considering my flight routing, most of the customers seem "normal". I have an exit row couch again.

Sitka requires making a U-turn in the 734 on the runway after landing to get back to the "terminal".
The Ketchikan International Airport (as the building is labelled) has a single jetway for AS, and the runway is elevated above the ramp area. Looking at the side of what otherwise has the appearance of loose rock while taxiing to the runway is a bit disconcerting.

The Craftsteak at MGM is one of my favorite LAS restaurants, especially with tasting menus.

$1600 TATL W fares over 4th of July weekend are not cool.

Buy Z!

Those are about $5k.

I am woefully behind this year

I have still booked no revenue tickets this year

WWTBD On track to get to 125k EQMs this year. I matched with AA.

Would you keep all your travel on UA, and get the 2 extra RPUs.
Or push 25k to AA and get Gold status there? Benefit of being able to fly AA and have minimal benefits if the prices are too high on UA.

Seems unlikely that B6 would purposefully not load their planes full of fuel when the alternative is a diversion.

Wish I saw this earlier. Where is the Potbelly in CLT? I didn't see it in A, C or the center area.

I'm at 58K on my account right now with PHX-IAH-PIT-CLT-IAD-IAH-PHX-OGG-SFO-ORD-CLT-LGA still to post from this weekend. That said, everything upgraded is still posting at 150% EQMs for me. I wonder if they're going to fix that at some point. I'm easily 15-20K high right now versus what I probably deserve.

Do you have SWUs or did you get a challenge?

Shhhhhhhh. Only some of my upgrades are posting at 150% EQMs. I figured it was a goodwill gesture.
