Sorry, I can't go to MSP in January and I do realize know the weather will be very extremely coldest weather during in winter time. So you can't go to MSP and there is problems the flight will cancelled due to winter storm. It will struck you at airports for 24 hours notice. DL will automatically you to rebooked for your next flight out without penalties. I knows the weather is very extremely dangerous out there. Too many cars crashes on the streets and everywhere, too.

You know what is going on in MSP and the weather will very extremely coldest during in winter time. It will drop the temperature is below -0 degrees. You won't go to MSP for awhile until the weather will clear it up sometimes in Spring time.

I barely handle the weather that is here in MA. I can't even imagine MSP winter weather.

Hello lounge just wanted to relay my excitement. Just booked a 100k J ticket to Paris for a friend's bday. Shocked actually to even get J on the 380.

BTW, did you book that as a gift for your friend, or a gift for yourself (to get rid of said friend for a week)?

I posted in another thread yesterday that I was seeing a lot of low level award availability to CDG around Xmas/New Years. Maybe they really did loosen it up.

Good evening from the SFO SC. Checked in for my rapidly changed SFO-MSP-STL flight, only to be told that I had no chance in hell of making the MSP-STL connection (there is apparently more enroute weather that is delaying the SFO-MSP inbound aircraft).
So, here I sit...next available legs into either STL or MCI will not work for getting me to the work emergency in Jefferson City in enough time to be of any use, so the flight has now been changed to SFO-MSP-BWI. SFO TA, DM desk and the manual re-issues desk handled the process smoothly. Personally, I could have taken the news a little better than I did (work emergency is a pretty significant one and has me on edge), but I am glad that it worked out in the end (will still make it home for this weekend's kid-birthday activities).

...it takes some skills, but the AF staff in IAD seem to do something to make it work. And since it is the A380, there will be a lot more seats than row 1 on the 777s--so there's got to be some inventory available.

They will forced to stay at home due to snowstorm. Keep try to stay aware of the winter storm will below the temperature -0 degrees out there.

Mersk862 might be mad at me for this but, if the weekend on CO goes as currently looks scheduled, all 4 of my segments will be in Y. This hop over to see if the grass is really greener will be a VERY short hop if that's the case. MCO-IAH-SAT/AUS-IAH-MCO shouldn't be an issue clearing
