yess about 1300 delta air i wanted all American flights so my big bear butt can fit in the seats.  it is very expensive to fly out of where i am. this is Alaska.

Hey AB I agree with the others. I've had to travel to Asia and Europe on business occasionally. Personally I can't stand Delta - one of the worst airlines, I'd rather fly British Airways. My favorite Airline is Cathay Pacific and yes the seats are pretty good. Don't worry about that. Just avoid Philippine Airlines... that's the one with the small seats.

I have a feeling you flew that one and said never again.

And I dunno if you're like me but I always fly boeing. I'll never step on an Crashbus. Why? Look at the data from last 10 years. You always take a risk of pilot error when you get on a plane but technical/ engineering malfunction crashes are all Airbus.

OMG...listen to them AB, a 15 hour layover is uncalled for with a ticket over $1K. Remember your time is worth something too. I'm sure you could do better flying to Vancouver/SFO/LAX & grabbing a connection onwards. I would urge you to reconsider, easiest to check flights leaving on Sat/Tue/Wed as far as price & availability.

Perhaps Famous Bar should add a travel desk for you guys...

I spent a fair bit of time at Famous Bar this trip. There were 4 parties while I was there. Great setup with the bar downstairs and the upstairs open patio and air-conditioned Pool Room.
Short time rooms are of a high quality, although the lock doesn't work in one of them so you might have a "double" or "3some" when you planned on a "single"

I really like the gals at Famous. Every one is a "my friend you"

First up some pics from the official opening night.

There were quite a few of us BM's there and was a great night.

There was a beautiful MC and some high ranking police guy cut the ribbon.


Cheers DK
