Teh Penalty Box | part 2

So, get this: I was just able to successfully change an award reservation on .bomb!

Had to change routing, airline, and class. Charged me zero fees (despite changing airlines), and only charged the appropriate mileage! Changed from IAH-YYZ-DUB in UA/AC Y to IAH-MIA-FRA-DUB in UA/LH J.

I'm shocked, as this was much more than just a simple flight time change. The merger is clearly a failure.

Couldn't sleep as usual but the Transporter is on Bravo so .

Watch this space for an announcement from Teh Gadfly (with pictures).

Coming soon!

What did the inspector find? When we had our inspections, the inspector found more than a few flaws, but nothing too major. Our closing is on Tuesday.

Actually 50. Powerball tix are now $2 each. Mega Millions is still $1 per ticket.

It seems I am the only one awake at this time of the morning. Work is awesome™.

PWP?

Sì.

Nein.

I had to go back to work. I could not continue my PWP.

Speaking of work... just heard of a train vs. pedestrian fatality. Darwin is at work.

Up a few minutes early thanks to a mega bus starting up.

Good morning box

Stupid Houston Metro at work again??

Golly, can that train ever run without hitting other people / things?

Actually, no. This was not light rail. This was up in the northeast. Sounds like it was a freight train. Near Lake Houston where a lot of a/c fly over before landing at IAH.

Ah I see.

Well, one less hit for the Metro rail then.

Early morning....

Howdy Box. Good afternoon from Brzesko, Poland.

With road construction, what should have been an hour drive from KRK turned into a traffic cluster fuzz lasting almost three hours. Or put another way, I could have flown FRA-KRK-FRA-KRK in that time. Crazy.

Remember also that the electronic TCVs can have residual value. You can use the $400 to buy a $225 ticket and have $175 left over rather than a single $100 coupon.

They still exist at EWR and some sCO European stations but the role is transforming. They are called GS agents (or something like that) now and the responsibilities are slightly different.

Greetings Box, from the BA F lounge at LHR. Epic fail at changing to an earlier flight but I didn't really expect less. Phuckers. Have commenced rotting for the next five hours.

Flight over was fine, but the food was horrible and I'm not one to bitch about first class. So I'm making up for it with some tasty food in the lounge. Just had the best cole slaw ever. Yes, I said cole slaw.

And I have a lovely glass of champers. Sadly, it seems a tad unappealing right now since I sorta feel like a$$ after the long flight + a few glasses of wine on the plane + whacked time zone. I don't understand how people can pound liquor on multiple flights and still remain upright.

Walkers pilfering has begun.

Blah blah blah.

I will need to confer w/you on your changes!

Who said anything about remaining upright!?!

The whole point is to be in a steady state of haze so you don't notice the time issues.

Ditto. I haz Teh Jeebus Look if I go 3+ weeks without a haircut.

Cool! I got a battlefield upgrade EWR-IAH, after getting CPUs on IAH-LAX & then my flugs on Sun.(all on award tix)!
