BLR = Bangalore/Bengaluru -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 18:58 4
- thanks, I was thinking weird things like Belarus -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 19:01 3
  - My nasty habit of speaking airport codes - ty97 Feb 13, 19:01 2
    - I knew it was your airport code, I just wasn't deciphering :). I think I got BLR = Belarus from an Olympic broadcast. -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 19:03
    - I do it too, but I had to look that one up. -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 19:03
Thank you. I wouldn't have thought of a Seattle to London flight, so I never would have gotten it. -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 18:52 9
- London-Vancouver has been on since the early '90s at least. -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 18:59 3
  - just so you and ty know, Seattle and Vancouver are not the same thing -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 19:00 2
    - But aren't they? -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 19:01 1
      - no. Seattle's weird and rainy. -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 19:01
- SEA already has three airlines flying to London - ty97 Feb 13, 18:57 4
  - much has changed, I flew Seattle to Copenhagen when I lived there and I don't see it on your list...also there are new airlines ther -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 18:59 3
    - SAS ended the Copenhagen flight in 2009 after 42 years of flying it - ty97 Feb 13, 19:04 2
      - I liked SAS. Who the fudge is Condor? -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 19:05 1
        
        German leisure airline (I'm guessing like Norwegian or a long haul RyanAir? Dunno, never flew them) -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 19:06
Oh. Huh. I would never travel across the Atlantic again without a stop in Iceland. -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 18:50 11
- Why? -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 18:53 10
  - It’s beautiful. And it turns a 7-9 flight into a 5 hour flight, a nice mini-vacation in Iceland, then a 2-4 hour flight. - Mop Feb 13, 19:20 6
    - I *like* my flights to Europe to be at least 9 hours because they are redeyes and I need sleep. - ty97 Feb 13, 19:26 4
      - Lucky bastard -- nm - spamlet Feb 13, 19:31
      - I have the option of taking a 17-hour direct flight to London. I think I'll stop in Dubai instead. -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 19:30 2
        
        For a 17-hour flight, I can see breaking it up. Though I've done the DFW-HKG 17 hour flight a few times - ty97 Feb 13, 19:38 1
        
        yeah. if it's a work trip I'll do it. we give clients the option of business or rest day. they always pick business. I've done YYZ-HKG and LAX-MEL/SYD - mafic Feb 13, 19:42
    - Interesting. Thanks! -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 19:23
  - the question here is really, given the option, why wouldn't you stop at a plate boundary? -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 19:00 2
    - I think LAX takes care of all my plate needs. And why are paleontologists weird? -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 19:02 1
      - they're totally different plate boundaries. that's like saying Vancouver and Seattle are the same city. - mafic Feb 13, 19:07
