What Happens When the Airline to Whom You are Loyal Does Not Serve Your Home Airport Anymore?

Posted on: July 14th, 2007 by: The Gate

Poor Lehava.

This FlyerTalk member and Delta Air Lines Platinum Medallion SkyMiles member has been a loyal staunch ally of Delta Air Lines.

She has participated in special Delta Air Lines events.

She helped fight US Airways against acquiring Delta Air Lines in a hostile takeover while the struggling airline was under bankruptcy protection.

She has vocally defended the airline against those who demean it.

However, as of September 6, 2007, Delta Air Lines will cease service to Binghamton, New York, which is her home airport.

What will Lehava do now? Will she find a new airline? Will she move to a city whose airport Delta Air Lines serves? Will she go out of her way to drive to Syracuse or Allentown to remain loyal to Delta Air Lines?

How will this love story end?

These – and other questions – may or may not be answered in the new FlyerTalk “soap opera”:

Visitors to USA have had to put up with this nonsense for a couple of years, and now it seems all travellers through London Heathrow may be faced with the same to overcome design flaws in the new T5 terminal due to open in 2008.

A Potentially Explosive Thread

Would you risk going through airport security with the residue of fireworks on your shirt?

If you took the chance and were stopped at the security checkpoint, would you be at your wick’s end and blow up?

Fire off your view by posting in the How difficult to remove TNT (firework powder) thread – but be aware that the “voices” of some FlyerTalk members may be residue to the comments posted there.

For a long time only in first class were there truly flat beds. Then some airlines added flat beds in business class. Now it is planned for economy also. Check out the concept pics and discussion on this thread.

Venice to Prague: The Least-Expensive Way?

Posted on: July 12th, 2007 by: The Gate

You are in Venice.

You want to get to Prague.

FlyerTalk member yogimax wants to know: What is the Cheapest travel from Venice to Prague?

In 2004, I traveled from Prague to Venice on CSA Czech Airlines in an ATR-42 propellor aircraft using my Delta Air Lines SkyMiles, but I do not believe that is the advice for which yogimax is searching.

Please help yogimax out by offering advice. Thank you.

Don’t Get “Tunneled” in Las Vegas!

Posted on: July 11th, 2007 by: The Gate

They say that what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.

However, you do not want any more of your money to stay in Las Vegas than necessary, right?

This could very well happen if you are “tunneled” when visiting Las Vegas.

What is “tunneling”, you might ask? Well, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

It could be considered a form of gambling, and it seems to be getting more popular – but not by those who visit Las Vegas.

Do not overpass the Has tunneling become SOP? :td: thread where more information can be found.

Let us allow FlyerTalk member Rebelyell to ask the first question:

Anyone know the average cost per pound to fly 1,000 miles at $3/gallon fuel?

Question #2:

If airplane A travels from Chicago to London at an average rate of 457 miles per hour for the first hour, 602 miles per hour for the next six hours, and 516 miles per hour for the remainder of the trip, and airplane B travels from Cape Town to Atlanta at an average rate of 481 miles per hour for the first hour, 591 miles per hour for the next ten hours, and 526 miles per hour for the remainder of the trip, at what moment over the Atlantic Ocean will they reach the exact same longitude, to which airlines do these aircraft belong, and what is the total amount of frequent flier miles one should expect to earn from these flights?

Question #3:…
