The Olympics could be used as an excuse, if you are originating in GLA and your destination is ATH. However, if you are originating in ATH and your destination is GLA? I tried both ways and it’s basically the same price.

Looks like 752 to me.

I’m stocking up on the malts already ! 😀

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Is that going to be your first Ted flight, gd?

No, I’ve actually already flown on 1 TED segment (ONT-DEN) en route to FLL. I have another 2 coming up May 21-23. (SFO-LAS, LAS-SFO) and another 2 a fortnight later (LAX-LAS, LAS-LAX). They’re not bad. Comparable to most lo-co’s, but they have economy plus and I get the emergency exit rows when I make my reservation. 😀

Looks like they are gearing up to become the 2nd best Alliance, behind Star, of course. 😉

They offered first class seats at much reduced fares compared to their competitors, didn’t they?

I believe so, or you could upgrade for really cheap. They also had the “free Vegas stopover” gimmick. Being that their hub was in LAS, if you flew between any 2 cities (that wasn’t originating or terminating in LAS) you were entitled to a free stopover in Vegas at no extra cost. Pretty good deal, if you ask me. One of my cousins flew them between LAX and JFK and took advantage of this.

It sounds odd to me that CO NW DL will work under the same alliance.

Not really. USAirways is about to officially enter Star, and that would make 2 U.S. carriers in that alliance. CO and NW already are partners, so them both entering makes sense. Obviously the only reason NW is entering in the first place, is because of the whole AF/KL gimmick. By the way, with US now in the mix, UA ended their marketing agreement with DL back in October. This entailed FF members of the respective airline being able to accrue mileage on the other airlines’ domestic routes only.

And no one is going to see the photo that Carlos took of me because as I said, it was so embarrassing

🙁 Have you gone, or do you plan on going to any of the meets, Comet?
