    What did you expect? It's Status then Fare Paid, so all the 1Ks and Platinums were ahead of you mate.

    Why the heck does sCO management love turning everything into some version of the US Tax Code?

    If you complicate it, they will let them expire.

    6/3 is the evening of Dan Hammer's wine dinner this year down in Greenwich Village. Grab a bottle and come on over. Check out the thread on TOBB.

    I don't know who Dan Hammer is but we'll be in NYC that evening as well.

    Shouldn't all non-silvers have been upgraded previous to 24hour mark since there was the availability?

    Trying to get this down to $1350 on a 20 hour turn (so I don't feel totally guilty about doing a MR...)... works on ITA, but not ticketable (yet).

    That's an nifty trip you have set up... I'd recommend SIN for 2 nights personally as there's a bit to see and tons of decent Singaporean food to be consumed in mass quantities. I'll be doing Cambodia, Laos, & Vietnam before heading to Myanmar... Maybe do Bali beforehand it depends on how many miles I can replenish by then.

    Other silvers may have been upgraded, but were on higher fares than you. Also, higher level elites who SDC or book before the 24h clearing window but have not yet cleared would clear at that point.

    Ha.... Only if the system is working, they might have been holding back inventory or not processing Upgrades... As an 1K I have got some upgrades literally inside the 23:59 check in window.

    Yeah, that's a question I do have... I have 6 nigths to burn over there before I have to get to RGN. I'm planning on about 4 nights in Phuket, leaving me 2 nights in either SIN or BKK or one in each. What say the box?

    But he wasted all that beer that bubbled up and out of the bottle onto the ground!

    And he follows it up each year with a dinner to which everyone brings a bottle of wine, preferably one with a story but anything that is tasteful is accepted. One gets to taste a really wide variety of stuff.

    I have opened wine with a screwdriver, a screw, and a hammer. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    (Video evidence of this may exist. :eek:)

    I disagree. Anything at a certain price point is accepted. Whether it is tasteful or not has nothing to do with it.

    You're from the Lower 48 it ain't so it's all good mate.

    What do you think of 3 Euro Bordeaux wine that's generally served as Table Wine in Paris then? (Just curious since you presented a price point). I'd drink that however wouldn't drink woodchuck that sells in America at about the same price interestingly.
