OK I booked the flights (NONSTOP BOTH WAYS!!!).

so you openjawed it with a planned chunnel trip?  why'd you choose that option rather than a stopover?

The Winged Victory of Samothrace at the Louvre was very impressive to me for some reason. I don't really get into statues and stuff but for some reason I liked the crap out of it. Make sure you see that. It's on like a main staircase so you probably can't miss it.

snapped this HUSKGUY - quality shot this summer

mich, idk what your UR situation is, but the hotel du louvre is in a primo location and it's only 20k/night, if you end up not doing the hyatt card again (or want to use those nights in london or something)

actually, I'm not sure how doable that would be through London without another stop. Plus flights are only like $80 between the two and I'm not ready to plan when we go from London Paris.

He's suggesting I book a flight from SFO to CDG with a "stopover" at LHR. Problem is I think I'd have to go LHR-FRA-CDG and that just seems like a massive waste of time.

i was just curious.  jeesh.

you made me feel like an idiot for a second if that makes you feel any better

that's usually my intention, but wasn't in this thread.

[tdaver]

There are 3, so suck it mocat, big time know it all

oh i'm sorry i read that wrong. i thought you meant slc as in the airport specifically

More than that, I can think of at least 5 off the top of my head although none in SLC proper.

And I have no intention to actually leave termy wherever layover is.

[michigancat]

I don't get how an LAX connection would be comparable to MSP or CVG. I guess maybe if you were going to KC?

DFW

dal has a whataburger

DFW

Ah. Then I'd probably go lax to avoid weather delays. (And it seems like it could be the shortest.)

Good call on the weather and yes it is a little shorter

[pissclams]

what airline?

[michigancat]

what airline?

Delta (he's based in salt lake and listed delta hubs)

But, is CVG still hanging in there as a hub?

technically but it's way far down their list of hubs. like 8th. their only transatlantic is to CDG

[steve dave]

they actually have shitloads of allegiant service 

[pissclams]

the delta termy in lax sucks balls, as an fyi

lax isn't a delta hub

[chum1]

Allegiant and Frontier are good for CVG. Like a light at the end of the Delta tunnel they've been trapped in.

Delta's CVG lease expires in 2020, but they still get tons of business from P&G and Kroger. Who knows what they'll do?

technically it is. and also i believe they just opened/remodeled (or will very soon) a new terminal for delta

[Dr Rick Daris]

so I assumed cvg was cincinatti but checked just to make sure and end up finding out that it is the airport for cincinattians but it's located in Kentucky. smdh.
