Nice deals you're getting Canona7 and you fly from the west coast!! :shock: :shock:
yea but let me be sure to add thats non revenue. my mom/dad worked for the airlines(united and continental) so i just find my mom when im not busy and ask for a non revenue pass. and i fly standby because of that. so when i get to the airport this Thursday at 3 am, i wont know if iv got a seat until they call my name. i usually get on, but its that not knowing for sure bit that would put alot of people off, and understandably so. im used to it though.


educating myself and waiting for the next trip.

I must admit that I wouldn't like the 'not knowing' but, for those kind of $$$$ I might be a bit more flexable.... :lol: :lol: :lol: 8) The time involved must wear you out also...flying stand-by, connections and coming from the west coast...phew. I thought the 11 odd hours it takes from here to be huge. :shock: 8)
Enjoy your visit.
If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll meet you on the next one.

2 weeks ago the plan was to fly the 23:20 redeye to wash dc(5 hrs) where i would have a 11 hr layover at the airport. seeing as i hate waiting in airports i looked for another route and now as it stands its the 06:10 flight seattle-chicago and then on to amsterdam after a 3-4 hr layover. its a long journey. but seeing as its so cheap i dont mind.

London STansted to Amsterdam, normally between £48 and £68. Have paid £5 for a flight with Ryanair one way back from Eindhoven to Stansted :-)

My latest flights cost me £55, plus £25 for changing it to 2 days earlier cos i decided i wanted longer in Dam :-)

In "09" it was $800. So far the cheapest I can find right is around $1100. I'm still waiting and hoping they'll come down in early 2011. If not or well, we'll still be there in April 2011.

Booked my flight with easyjet for March.

£21.99 each way, £18 for a Hold luggage, and a £5.50 Visa debit charge, if I or anyone I knew had a Visa electron card then there is no charge!! that really pissed me off.
