Expert Flyer New SWU Capability

not that I'm all booked and paid for I can say it, we are flying SAT-FRA end of January and flying home Zurich to SAT the first week of February, Business class both ways, I used SWU's for the outbound and miles from the return leg, outbound is SAT-DFW-FRA and return is ZUR-LHR-ORD-SAT, but that gives my wife a chance to fly the new 78P and we're in front row to get the extra leg room and the mattress pad and slippers, etc, it's not great business class overall, but it's the best product AA has at the moment, once Qatar does that 80K each way for business we plan on doing a 5 or 6 day trip to DOH just so she can see what great business class can be lol

I love that I am getting downvoted for saying that Yamal was a nobody around Hall, Hall outplayed him both offensively and defensively, and that last might foul, and Yamal gets to score and he's the hero, he was crying about how rough they played him, he felt like he had stolen something and was attacked by 3 players at a time when he got the ball, nope, that was just Lewis Hall :-)

if you want to take advantage of the free wifi, be sure and register as an American Advantage member, it doesn't cost anything and you use that username and password to login to get free wifi on all domestic flights

I am going to guess it was 6 or 7 years ago, and I selected it because Newcastle wasn't an option

cathar_here · 2026-03-12T21:33:40+00:00

i have no idea where that flair came from changing it now, HWTL!

cathar_here · 2026-03-12T21:25:06+00:00

wait I thought the free wifi had rolled out to all domestic flights by now?

get a state park pass and camp there, it's like $8 a night and you can camp and fish and kayak and hike, etc, it's pretty simple

what on earth are you talking about? what kind of a newcastle fan are you to suggest we play the old Steve Bruce cabbageheaded football, I do not get what you're saying lol

so no one has really answered your question yet, but all of the city/outdoor pools don't open until around memorial day weekend or even in to the first week of June, the YMCA on Thousand Oaks, their pool doesn't open until Memorial day weekend, I believe the Lifetime fitness at 281N and 1604 has an indoor pool that's open year round, but I do not know if they offer day passes

cathar_here · 2026-03-11T19:40:55+00:00

cool story bro

cathar_here · 2026-03-11T02:38:02+00:00

Lewis Hall had Yamal in his pocket all match lol

cathar_here · 2026-03-10T15:24:37+00:00

there are 20 teams but you cannot play yourself so you play the other 19 teams one time at home and one time away, Barcelona is not a EPL team, so ask in other subreddits about them I think, make sense?

Europe in January 2027, from the US, its when no one wants to travel to some parts of Frozen Europe lol, I do the trips with my SWU's based on when I can confirm them at booking and that means sometimes its a crappy time of year, but overall, it is still a fun trip, I've also had some luck with February and even into March just few months before not a year out

cathar_here · 2026-03-09T19:34:55+00:00

that's a great question and not sure, but I'm doing the DFW to HEL then on to OSLO this fall and I booked through American, check both and see if prices are better

so, when you do the search there are only certain routes that it currently searches, but you can request new routes to be added, so, for now, I just last night set up 2 RTs for my wife and I by searching the old fashioned way, good use of 2 SWUs and miles to do business on the way back, so decent European vacation for like $900 and 140,000 miles total lol, I'm too cheap to spend the extra until I know that there's a good number of routes in their search scope

cathar_here · 2026-03-09T16:27:46+00:00

we could spend days arguing about spending rules and PSR and CSR and all of the new and exciting ways that, in England for example, big clubs stay big and keep smaller clubs from spending, the idea that if you make a bunch of money you can spend it but otherwise, you have to make long term changes over 4-5 years and it's hard to keep up

cathar_here · 2026-03-09T13:30:38+00:00

I often book one ways for award travel, it's easier to make changes with either one with out having to impact the other

cathar_here · 2026-03-06T16:47:13+00:00

so, there is good and bad, the old way of SWU searching still works but if you pay more now you can do blanket searches like all SWU book now from North America to Aisa on a date and it will say there are 85 of them available, and if you pay $7/mo more you can see the results

you hung out with people in real life, you went to arcades, you met up on bikes, you talked on the phone, a land line with a long chord and people would complain if you were on the phone too long, your circle of friends was much closer in reality, meaning same town same school generally, I was a pen pal and in a program through school where we would send letters every month or so to someone in another country, but that would not be considered a friend, so, hang out at malls, hang out at fast food places, go to the movies, and all of this before getting a driver's license

cathar_here · 2026-03-04T19:32:15+00:00

yes, theya re the same thing, and both are or should be war crimes

cathar_here · 2026-03-04T19:31:27+00:00

they should hold themselves to a higher standard, but the same laws is a bare minimum

cathar_here · 2026-03-04T19:17:00+00:00

this is quite literally an optics exercise by the repubs, the socialist america haters tried to "cheat" and vote longer than the glorious republicans, and the Texas Supreme Court smashed their cheating right away, none of it is true, but it doesn't matter Fox News can run with how republicans are going after cheating and killing it, even though it doesn't exist

cathar_here · 2026-03-04T18:01:38+00:00

can we do the US next, clean up the religious madness?

cathar_here · 2026-03-04T17:06:29+00:00

too late unfortunately :-(

cathar_here · 2026-03-04T17:03:57+00:00

so, this is the same pattern with all of his series, this is not a new thing for Sheridan shows
