  1. Flying TK non-stop to IST cannot wait in business. They have business, comfort, and economy and fly 777-300ER.  Voted the best airline in Europe.  United now has satellite wi-fi over the ocean when my buddy flew to NRT.  

  2. Now new American Airlines wants gates at Love Field!  Good luck, cannot wait till they get rid of those MD-80s yuk.  IAH still has more International traffic than DFW.  US Airways has now taken over. 

  3. I was told they are closing June 30th.   I heard the land next to it the EPA condemned it they stop construction years ago.  There was a dry cleaner there contaminated the area.  I do not know the status of it now.  The foundation columns are still there.      

  4. They will get what they asked for.  Afton Oaks will be surrounded by mid rises and high rises.  They did not want the light rail, so thank Culberson.  They should of have overpasses at Westheimer, San Felipe, and Richmond.  Now they are squired in.  Within 10 years the population will be almost 5 hundred thousands within 10 miles.  I'm happy I live in Upper Kirby District.  I walk everywhere no need to drive.  Everyone will drive through Afton Oaks because of the traffic.   

  5. It would be a great addition even by MMP so you can see the whole skyline.  It just brings in a lot of tourists dollars.  By MMP it could be taller if there is still if height limit because it's out side of it.  I think the restaurant in Toronto was 900 feet and looked great.  The one in Dallas is under 500 feet.  Just a idea it would complete our downtown.       

  6. No the height limit was 1,100 feet that is why the Chase Tower was 80 floors down to 75.  Hobby has different flight approaches around downtown.  I know it cannot be that tall but 800 are 900 feet would be great.  It would be a great tourist attraction.  It would be people downtown for entertainment.  The restaurant was great with nice views.  You cannot see nothing anymore at the Hyatt.  There is a bar at that ugly Wedge International Tower on the 43rd floor just drinks.    

  7. That is very good news since EVA is with Star Alliance, so they can connect with United flights in IAH.  They want to get a piece of the pie to compete with Korean Airlines which does not have much flights to connect with SkyTeam.  There is Delta and Air France.  Good news for Houston.
