It's been almost a week, so I'm confident I'll never see it again.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the webpage with the seat charts for
Continental's B777-200?  I have spent 2 days searching on the
Continental website and cannot access any info on their fleets.
I know I can bring up the seat charts "after" purchasing a ticket  but

I have checked a number of flights on United's automated system, and

baggage only and hold a UK passport.

Hi, Anyone know where I can get a flight from the uk to Alicante from on the
Web?

I'm looking for a short break in Croatia during April.  Expedia quote a
realistic return fare with Czech Airlines, connecting in Prague.  Only
problem is the connection time outbound is 30 mins!  The return is
slightly better at 55 mins.

Is it safe for undeveloped film to pass thru the airport x ray
machines? Will they let you hold onto it and not send it thru or what
is the policy these days?

Five airports are experimenting with private screeners, and all want to
continue - primarily because by positioning screeners where they are
most needed, they have reduced passenger hassles. The airports are in
