Sorry, just AMS, CDG, and LHR and the crap hotels that come with those layovers. The good destinations are for our code share partners only.

The first time I heard that I was confused until it was explained. Pretty funny, I thought.
I get it, just seems silly that we still call it that "because we always have" even though the reasoning behind it no longer exists. But as whoops pointed out, our system could implode but simply trying to make the change lol.

it also just doesn’t matter enough to update. We all know it’s the 73N, what’s the impetus to put resources toward the change?

ahh yes, I’ll remember that when I’m in VCE or BCN that it’s not “real” WB flying.
