The A380 will run until June. It switches to a 777 in July.

Will you be there? My attendance all depends on whether or not I get stuck at LaGuardia again.

There is no way Copa is going to operate out of Hobby. They're ties with United are just too strong (they're even entering the Star Alliance later this year). Plus, they're happy to devote their fleet to Panama City - LatAm routes and let United feed it from IAH. I don't see them ever coming to Houston. I can see Volaris, VivaAerobus, Allegiant, and maybe Spirit operating out of HOU.

Who's flying 727s around? I'd love to see that period.

Unless they sell them by the kilo like El Bolillo, I'm not interested.

Interesting. Would have preferred they had something that isn't considered the Bud Light of Bavaria on tap, but I guess it's a start. I'll have to check it out. Looking at the pictures of the outside, it looks like it'd fit in more in Berlin over München. It has that Bauhaus look to it.

The free ones are the same ones they charge for, so you're probably better off avoiding them. Prior to that Silvers weren't able select exit rows until check-in at all. So you had to pray someone moved or got upgraded. Now you at least have the option to select the seats. It should be noted that Continental has announced that Economy Plus will be part of the new United: http://www.united.co...67,1314,00.html As it is now, all elites are able to select the E+ seats free of charge on United and as they roll the product out to the Continental planes, I'm sure the story will be the same there too. Me, I'd rather have five more inches of free pitch rather than free pretzels.

The headphones have been $3 for almost two years now. If you're on a flight with DirecTV, they're free. And which elites do they charge for the exit row? Plats and Golds can pick them for free at booking and Silvers can have them for free at 24 hours out (online check-in time).

The Buy-on-Board program pretty much sealed the deal that we'd see Continental adopting more of the United way of doing food. I'm not surprised by them getting rid of pretzels since the evidence is there that a lot of people either refuse them or don't eat them.

You want a big stein so it'd be: Ein groß Bier bitte

I like that the price for the IAH-Moscow segment is actually somewhat reasonable. I bought a $650 ticket a few weeks ago and I'm happy with that.

The Singapore stats are extremely interesting. A lot of people have been worried that that particular route would be killed off.

Yes, will be within walking distance to Cedar Creek according to Ricky.

I'm fairly sure this is related to the finishing of the trail. You can see them working on it along White Oak Bayou as it heads toward the railroad tracks just south of Hogan.

The buy-on-board announcement has been made: http://phx.corporate...5060&highlight= With the menu: The upside is that there will be hot options, similar to what Alaska Airlines offers.
