truth in advertising, Les Mis should just be called Singing: The Movie - prisoner 24601 Dec 25, 20:51 7
- LOL - was just coming on to post - the 6:30 show was sold out so we bought tickets for the 9:30 showing & went to see Django Unchained first - spoiler - DJenBro Dec 25, 21:25 4
  - i thought russell was fine. it would have been heresy for the superfans of the stage version, but i would have cut the hell out of the playlist - prisoner 24601 Dec 25, 21:30 1
    - And my friend Sue would have agreed with this IM and been very happy :) -- nm - DJenBro Dec 25, 21:49
  - Django has better singing? - peglegpete Dec 25, 21:29 1
    - Lol! -- nm - DJenBro Dec 25, 21:47
- hasn't the show been out for like 20 years? -- nm - loosi at home Dec 25, 20:58
- Jax? -- nm - Spawn Dec 25, 20:52
Is a 37min layover in Philadelphia okay? Or too risky? Both will be US Airways flights. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 20:50 25
- have you checked how far apart the gates are of the 2 flights? talked to the airlines if they could hold the 2'nd flight if you are close? -- nm - peglegpete Dec 25, 21:18
- Depends. Some US Airways flights on regional commuter jets arrive at Terminal F and require a bus ride connection to the other terminals. - ty97 Dec 25, 21:12 10
  - It looks like most (not all, but most) SYR-PHL flights on US are commuter flights that will arrive into F - ty97 Dec 25, 21:21 5
    - I am using expedia, I don't think it shows the gate. Does it? What site are you using? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:23 4
      - They won't know the gate this far in advance, I'm looking at today's flights for reference point. - ty97 Dec 25, 21:25 3
        
        Got it. Thank you for your help. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:27
        
        Use this is a *very rough* rule. - ty97 Dec 25, 21:27 1
        
        hehe, thanks. Looks like the flights are 3833 and 3925. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:28
  - BTW, you travel tons ha? I can't imagine flying that much. Sitting in the plane blows so much. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:15 3
    - I've earned 1.4 million miles over the past 6 years. - ty97 Dec 25, 21:16 2
      - Are you pretty much always in first class now? But the whole process really blows. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:22 1
        
        Domestically yet, internationally no. -- nm - ty97 Dec 25, 21:23
- I would not book it that tight, and would definitely not book the syracuse flight that tight. -- nm - loosi at home Dec 25, 21:11 12
  - Yeah. :( The last flight out of syracuse I can use leaves at 4:50 (gives me an extra 40min) but goes through Washington to get to Detroit. - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:14 11
    - take it. a flight one hour after your interview is scheduled to end is asking for disaster. -- nm - loosi at home Dec 25, 21:19 3
      - Pretty much. I will call the hospital tomorrow and get their thoughts. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:21 2
        
        you'd be pushing it even if your interview took place on the sidewalk and the cab was waiting for you. -- nm - loosi at home Dec 25, 21:22 1
        
        haha. Yeah, I am now looking at trying to move interviews around. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:23
    - Getting from a regional airport on the East Coast to (presumably) the West Coast with an evening departure is tough. - ty97 Dec 25, 21:15 6
      - Actually I am trying to get to Detroit. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:20 5
        
        change flights in Vegas and I will take you to lunch -- nm - peglegpete Dec 25, 21:25
        
        Doesn't Delta fly SYR-DTW non-stop? -- nm - ty97 Dec 25, 21:22 3
        
        Looks like it does... for double the price and the last flight leaves at 3pm so I can't make that. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:25 2
        
        What day of the week? I saw a 7pm on the random date I checkd. -- nm - ty97 Dec 25, 21:28 1
        
        I am looking at Jan 15th, Tuesday -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 21:29

Anyone know Syracuse NY? - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 15:08 13
- As a seasoned traveler, I would never book anything that tight. - ty97 Dec 25, 18:06
- You're not likely to encounter bad traffic in Syracuse... ever, but you are likely to encounter snow, which could cause slow travel and traffic. -- nm - psilotum Dec 25, 16:25 2
  - Ok, thanks -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Dec 25, 16:58
  - It's a small airport, so you can get away with arriving last-minute more than other places. -- nm - psilotum Dec 25, 16:26
- And can you be sure you'll get a cab right away? -- nm - Mistletoe Meg Dec 25, 15:26 1
  - That I don't know. I will call the program tomorrow and ask if they think I can make it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 15:31

CY, BAD, Meg and other SocCal's. a train may be running from here to Fulerton in 2014 - peglegpete Dec 25, 13:50 10
- $100 seems a little steep no? It is good that food and drinks are included however. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 14:07 9
  - you pay close to that with round trip gas in the car -- nm - peglegpete Dec 25, 14:32 2
    - and accidents on the 15 which could cause 3-4 hour delays, happen -- nm - peglegpete Dec 25, 14:34 1
      - and lets not forget that over the life and expense of a car, it costs about 70-80 cents a mile to drive -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 25, 14:40
  - Yeah, I guess it could be fun if a crowd of you were going, but I think I'd rather drive there in less time for half the cost. -- nm - Mistletoe Meg Dec 25, 14:13 3
    - I think especially if a crowd is going then it would be waaaay cheaper to just take the car. Boring yes, but way cheaper overall. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 14:17 2
      - I think the target audience is the same as those who rent those party vans - JD Dec 25, 14:23 1
