49 hours? you bet. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 08:01
Not for me - but I'm a frequent flying non-believer. My tipping point would be whether the seats in coach have individual TV screens -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 07:56 19
- you'll never truly assimilate into Canada if you don't embrace points programs. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 08:05 6
  - I have Air Miles, which is enough for me. But I don -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 08:10 5
    - sfek - but I don't think always flying a particular airline is worth collecting the points, because there's always some problem... - Roger More Jan 27, 08:13 4
      - but then it's also free, so what've you lost? - mafic Jan 27, 08:19
      - i just take whatever flight makes the most sense. but even still i've earned a few short run free flights with Air Canada. - Andie Jan 27, 08:17
      - there are so many partnerships, though, you usually have a lot of airline choices. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 08:15 1
        
        at the end of the day, I just don't trust the airline to come through for me -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 08:17
- I always end up with the screen that doesn't work. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 08:02
- I would hope on a flight of that length, all would. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 27, 07:58 10
  - I'd hope so - but if he's flying Air Canada... -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 08:00 9
    - the beauty of it is I entirely avoid air canada. thank you, star alliance. - mafic Jan 27, 08:03 8
      - They're upgrading their fleet, but some of the older planes are still in service so it can be a crapshoot -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 08:08 2
        
        but international routes typically get the good planes, particularly those long-ass pacific runs. -- nm - mafic Jan 27, 08:10 1
        
        triple 7? I love those. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 08:12
      - what's the longest leg? -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 08:03 4

        yeah, in 2010 (again, barring life-changing events). this is for the trip back here after I go home in march. -- nm - mafic Jan 27, 08:11
