» W hotel, Atlanta

Went up to Atlanta for househunting. Found a $79 rate at the W hotel in Atlanta (north perimeter, just outside Perimeter Mall). What a goofy place. I just DON'T get it. This is raging suburbia. All the "Armani" and blonde wood seemed strange. Valet parking for $9 just across the street from the shopping mall. No newspapers at the snack bar thing in the lobby at 8 AM on Sunday ("oh, we'll have to have the bellhop go out and get one"). Room OK comfortable, but various tackinesses (stained grout in bathtub, sink faucet loose in the holes on the sink), etc etc. My room overlooked...the parking lot of the mall. My view (12th floor) was of the Cinema I-IV (anyone who grew up in the seventies knows the look of the sign for General Cinem...... - 2008-11-19

» SEA N Gates = Problems ?

I have had five AS flights so far this year that have departed from the N gates in SEA. Four of these flights have been totally cancelled and the other was delayed for over three hours. :mad: I am beginning to think that maybe AS changes a questionable flight to the N gates to not interupt the normal flow of traffic at the D gates. Has anyone else experienced flights out of the N gates, and if so, were they delayed or cancelled?I have had five AS flights so far this year that have departed from the N gates in SEA.

» Meat market/butcher shop recommendations?

I saw this thread over in the Chicago Forum and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for DC. Since DC is such a sprawl now, let's define/confine it as and to inside the beltway. I know there are several wholesale type markets over by 4th and Florida NE. I believe that some of them have retail markets in them. I went into one of them once, but it seemed like one of those places where you can't get what you want unless you know who and how to ask for it.The butcher tended to be the neighbor butcher. DC does not really have European neighborhoods, so no butchers of that sort. there are halal(sp) butchers that I know of. there are also wholesale places that sell to retail, if you wish to purchase a NZ venesion leg, or someth...... - 2008-11-19

» AA and BA tie up to be announced on Jan 7

According to Sunday's Evening Standard/Mail on Sunday, the BA chief is set to announc a tie up with AA on Jan 7,2002.(Airliners.net) The airlines will have anti trust immunity. Apparently Sept 11 and close bond between Bush and Blair has sealed the deal. This will be great news assuming no last minute problems, finally able to acrue miles LAX to LHR . Will it be revenue sharing type? I hope it means we can upgrade like DL and AFYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this for a very long time. So when can we start using miles on the Concorde?How many years ago did BA and AA start talking?

I'm in US but would love to share info about frequent flyer/buyer programs in India. I believe Air India, Inidan Airlines andmay be the private ones offer frequent flyer miles right?

Lufthansa gives only 50% of actual miles flown between Germany & India. Thats WRONG!!!! Any thoughts venkatI don't think BA discriminates based on origin.

http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fpposted/archive/2008/02/12/canadian-airlines-outdo-u-s-rival-s-on-time-performance.aspx The U.S. Department of Transportation released its annual Air Travel Consumer Report last week, which tracks the on-time performance and the number of consumer complaints filed against U.S. airlines at North American airports. While the U.S. Government mandates that the on-time performance of its airlines be reported and released to the public, no such rules apply to Canadian carriers. This got us wondering how the country’s largest carriers stacked up against their U.S. competitors.

» 6 segments from PDX for cheap requalification?

Okay,I admit that I'm not too proud to take advantage of Alaska's offer for MVP Gold requalification if I fly six segments by December 31. The question is whether I can do them all in one day, or on an overnight, starting at PDX. My first thought is simply to fly 3 RTs to Seattle -- easy to do in one day. Never having been to Alaska, however, it occurred to me to check whether Alaska has a convenient 3-segment outbound route from PDX.

When I arrived home and plugged everything back into my laptop, it gave the same error and still doesn't work. Due to the fact that we haven't changed any wiring, and the fact that both laptops gave the same error, leads me to believe that something may have happened with the receiver.

The statement released by the Directorate General of Health Services on Thursday did not give the child's name, age, or other details about the case. The child is recovering after treatment. The statement said the case was diagnosed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

Hello all, Will be operating out of SAN during much of the UA EQM 2x qualifying period. Looking for max miles for min $$$ and min time.

» Holiday Inn to AAdvantage awards

I have recently came across an interesting feature on the Priority Club. If I purchase an AA award of a US to Europe trip using 161,250 points, in the off season this equates to 40,000 AA miles for the same trip. This is a similar ratio of 10,000 Priority points to 2,500 AA miles. But, if you look at the 'small print' on the Priority Club web site a US to Europe award is actually 60,000 AA miles credited to your account, and you then have to contact AA to book the flight. This is a much better ratio. Question is: Do I have to book the flight or can I just leave the 60,000 miles for other uses, e.g. upgrades, etc? Does anybody have experience of this?

I'm a bit confused by this form of the verb "iku" I came across in a song.

With the help of the Japanese Conjugation Builder (http://member.nifty.ne.jp/ComWin/grammar/bldverb/index.htm) I constructed the thesis that the "-sou" part is probably a shortened version of "-sou da", which is, as I've been told, often appended to verbs to indicate probability, e.g. in weather forecasts. The only thing that's bugging me is the "-ke" inflection before the "sou". Isn't "ike" the imperative of "iku"? According to the conjugation builder, the "correct" form would be "iki-sou da".
