 I know I should ask UA before asking this group but .....   I want to book
a EWR-PER FC roundtrip with a 2 day stop over in SIN on Singapore Airlines
using FF miles.  The way I read it the rules, this is permissible using 120K
miles.  It looks ike the route would be ...

Any one able to see how oversold the DL flight 133 Athens to JFK is on sep
19th? We are holding tickets but couldn't get seats and past experience
tells me that this is not a good thing. I know that the flight is full just
wondering how bad things are likely to be.

I'm looking to book a flight from Paris CDG to Dublin.  I have a
choice of using either Air France (through a partner, City Jet)  or
Aer Lingus.  Times of the flights and prices are comparable.  I've
flown Air France many times and like it, but never heard of City Jet.

If this comes through it would be great! A decent airline flying to the US
again after UAL pulled out of the AKL-LAX leg leaving NZ the only Star
Alliance carrier - one with no PTVs, no sleeper seats in 1st or Business and
worst of all no in seat power in business, and possibly not ...

   Flight Simulator 2002 randomly generates other
traffic in the skies and airports and I notice the other day
one program generated flight, a 767-300, requested
clearance from HNL to San Juan. That is about 5,600

Pilots to feds: Arm us faster!
Aviators plan to demonstrate

Hello there ---
For quite a few years I have been using the normally excellent www.itn.net
website for checking seat availability (after setting User Prefs to "expert"
(!) etc ) on the world's airlines -- most of my travel is on a standby basis

I'm looking at doing some internal flights whilst in the US and noticed on
their a mention of discount coupons. This peeked my curiosity so i'm
asking...
Anyone know where these can be found??

Does anyone know a  back door entry to the ol' Yahoo airlines/aviation
news that listed ALL of the days news instead of just the top three as
in now? I'm sure you all know what I am talking about... I just hate the
new format.

I'm sitting in the airport bar at SNA, trying to check my email, but I can't
even think about concentrating on what I'm reading because some jackass
family has brought their screaming infant INTO THE BAR and won't take the
damn thing out.  The baby is, literally, shrieking at the ...

I was recently due to travel from Newcastle to Bristol, but the flight
was first delayed by an hour, then cancelled. It was about 10pm, there
was a huge queue at Easyjet's desk, and by the time I was seen, the
woman on duty said they'd given out the last of the hotel rooms, but

Is it worth it for a non-business traveller to keep track of frequent
flyer miles, if I only take two, maybe three round-trips per year?  I
shop for price, and therefore am not loyal to any one airline (altho
it's usually United). I book online, but not consistently with any one
