how can I get your job, cougar2k?
Graduate from EMAW U College of Engineering. Get laid off from you first job after graduation 3 weeks in. Profit.

I flew a transatlantic flight with Canadian Airlines once. It was pretty nice. Much nicer than the return flight on SAS, anyway.

Flew with them from Montreal to London one time and it was incredible. Lots of legroom, good entertainment system, plugins in every seat for USB and 110v 60 Hz power. Amazing food too.

Yeah, my transatlantic flight experience is pretty limited, so I didn't want to brag them up too much, but I was very impressed. My flight was Toronto to Frankfurt.

Where's that link for the forum that lists out all the priceline hotels?

Also, heading to DC, KS soon... Staying at the casino/hotel, I believe.

Yeah, it was 125k for two one ways getting there. Flying business back for 100k assuming whatever other city we choose has AA service/availability. I priced our exact flight there and it came to $10,126 per ticket. So $20,252 for the pair (I would never pay that and am only flying 1st because I have the points but if JayZ is on my flight that's what he paid for his seat)

Paris - Anybody that talks up the flea market there is full of crap. Do not listen to anything they have to say on Paris going forward. I stayed close by the Moulin Rouge and the area was really walkable, some good bars. Don't drink a french beer, even if you want to just try it. They are all garbage. I took a night river cruise that takes you by all the landmarks. Went to the back and had the best views/no crowd til people figured it out later. The river shores are crowded with young people getting hammered. Seems like that could be a good time too

Jay Z probably has points too.

yeah, but he probably doesn't plan his travel 10 months in advance. ALL AWARD SEATS ARE SPOKEN FOR HOVA!
