So, the question is:

LIH
or
KOA

for the filler. (I've done OGG......nice but I'm in the get outta the rut mode)

I'll trade you my DTW, MSP and BDL red eyes for LIH or KOA plus a player to be named later.

Is it worse than JFK?

Do you know I never really envisioned doing an ocean crossing from New York City's John F. Kennedy airport to London Heathrow would start with me trying not to barf because someone took a dump in the bathroom next to the computer room. I don't think there is a fan in the bathroom, just the giant metal one in the printer room. It had to be awkward when you opened that door and noticed 14 people standing at the printers looking at you.

I'm more interested in Ferd's look he's dropping on the 10 year old beside him.

True that...........got me ready for the super premium Ice Station Zebra hubs later in life.

If you don't say, "I can't feel my face" after a walk around, you ain't a REAL Delta Dude (now)

I remember the old pilot check in area in MSP when I got hired. 2nd largest pilot base in the system and one stall in the mens room........but at least it was NASTY!

BDL?? Ouch........

First couple of years on the 757 all I did was redeyes back to DTW off the west coast. I'd always die about the time you could see Chicago on the horizon and going past MSP, where you'd be done if you were based there.

Lets start the bidding now.............I want the PLAY'ER to be FTB, or Clamp

Ferd <-----needs young BOYS for yard work............momma likes them YOUNG boys

Thanks, I'll try that!! Tough to go wrong out that way, but I need the lowest value trips on the list sooooooooo

I agree with ya on building a better trip. Granted it was out of the mid-west, but we did:

1: late afternoon MSP to the west coast
2: west coast to Hawaii
4: red eye back to the west coast
5: early morning departure back to MSP or DTW back to MSP.

25 to 28 hour trip and commutable on both ends. Didn't get much better.......but then Alaska entered the picture (yes premerger)
