If your mute, you really can't say anything......If the point is moot, well now that makes more sense!

Cool. I bet you're a blast at parties.

Your mute or my mute?

90% chance for business on first option - worth going for sure.

7 seats available on the plane and he needs at least 2. Very easy for one misconnect to fill those seats

Non-reving sucks here, although I imagine it probably sucks everywhere at this point. Seats open means airlines are losing money. They don't want seats open and program their schedules accordingly. They seem to be doing a pretty good job at that. If you're feeling spontaneous and have nothing to lose, try non-reving. Look at the trends and travel on days that are less traveled - Tuesdays and Wednesdays. List on the first flight of the morning and risk rolling to the right a few times to get where you want to go. I can't count how many times I've booked a hotel room/rental car right after the gate agent handed us our boarding passes. It sucks. Just think, if you sit around the airport for 5-6 hours trying to get to Fort Meyers to see the grandparents, you could have picked up a turn to FL and made $1,000+ for an easy day of work instead of sucking on Jamba Juice for 5 hours.

If you want to go on a nice vacation with no stress, buy an AA20 ticket 8 months out. We are between the 85-97% income percentile in this country. Unless you're traveling every other month, you should be about to afford to buy airline tickets.

Oh yeah, I always buy tickets when I need to go somewhere. We’re just trying to go anywhere in Europe on business class.

Copy. I think you'd probably have better luck in the European market than domestic/Caribbean right now.

Returning through LHR is the best bet but you need to come in so you can be a T and avoid the $500 business departure tax

This. Although I think they closed the train/Chunnel loophole.

It’s pretty neat getting a seat in international first class on a 773 out of LHR. Done it a few times and the paying pax across the aisle have been NFL QBs, celebrities, oligarchs, etc. Sucks that IFC is going away but there just aren’t enough people who will pay the cost of a used car for those seats.
