Yes. Just a minutes to cross to Germany border. Yes, we have a nice lunch at Chinese buffet. So we didn't realize know that. My brother found the Chinese buffet in Germany. So we didn't realize know that from last time. We tries to find Chinese buffet. So actually, just a minutes from city of BSL to Germany border. No stamp necessary. Because this is all EU countries does not have a stamp to entry into the countries.

And then we drink it without tarting it up with the mountain of sugar that Gargoyle apparently thinks is de rigeur when drinking that coffee.
Just go into the place and buy a cup of coffee. Just coffee. Forget the funny sweet drinks that seem to me to be pitched for the ladies.

I'll be using one of the benefits on Friday for Woodford - traveling with the department head on my AmEx companion pass (per published rules, no chance for upgrade).

Thought there email today was rather informative..... Though, the multi-tier fee structure (online, member online, @ the airport) has got to be absolute confusion for customers. I so want to witness the "pay the carry-on fee" during boarding.
Our solution to the carry-on crisis:
Lowered fares
Lower checked bag fees
Give everyone a free personal item allowance
Allow customers to carry on an additional bag for a fee and give them
priority boarding so they have time and space to stow their extra bag
Everyone Wins!
We expect total prices to be lower
Security lines will move faster
The boarding process will be smoother
Deplaning will be faster
Passenger and employee safety is improved with less over-stuffed bins
What to expect for travel after August 1st:
We have introduced PENNY PLUS fares available to our $9 Fare Club members** that are 1’ each way plus fuel, taxes and fees*. If you are not already a member, click here to join.
We have lowered checked bag fees for $9 Fare Club members. A family of four checking four bags round-trip will save $80. Double the cost of being a $9 Fare Club member. Another reason to join now. Click here to join.
You can bring a FREE personal item onboard, such as a purse, briefcase, backpack or laptop computer. Other exceptions are: assistive devices, medicine, umbrella, outer garments (coats, hats, wraps), camera, car seat/stroller, infant diaper bag, reading material for the flight, or food for immediate consumption.
If you choose to bring an extra carry-on bag, you may do so for $20 if purchased online as a $9 Fare Club member or $30 online, at the airport ticket counter or kiosk for non-members. If you choose to wait until the gate to pay, the fee will be $45 which is not preferred since it will slow the boarding process.
Shorter, faster security and boarding lines. Less frustration while boarding and deplaning. Fewer delays.
Happier customers that pay less!

Her expression changed extremely quickly as she was told that it was possible. But still, I thought with the new Sky Priority, life a little bit more easier--and, I thought that the SC agents were trained to be a little bit more respectful...
--Just a thought--

I'm wondering what I should aspire to on NK. Thank goodness I only have to fly them from BOS-ACY.

If anyone ever wonders "why Atlanta, oh WHY DO YOU SUCK" just read this GEM from the AJC.
Apparently no one EVER CONSIDERED THE PASSENGERS getting from the new Intl Terminal to MARTA or the Rental Car Center.
What a #fail

Good call. The DM line was good to me and helped a change my mom's flight via SDC for free.
ALAs I guess it is what have they been smoking for a WHILE.
*sigh* ATL.
