ummm....southwest may be no frills, but it's not THAT no frills. you get a seat and everything. try again, bub.
[laughing] Wow
Adam is incredibly awful.
Solution: Walk 2-3 more rows back until you find an open bin above your seat...
...OR, wait a few seconds when de-boarding to grab your badger brush, and then have to wait LESS at baggage claim.
I can't imagine being Adam Eads, imo.

Nelson knows what he's doing. Manufactured spending is waaaaaaaaaaaaay more profitable if you're organized and know what you're doing. Learn excel.
Chase, make sure you email one of us (Bbdk, Clark, anthony, myself) before you dive in the SW Companion Pass. Can get a little confusing and there's a few nuances to Chase applications and the like.
SW Companion Pass makes living in this cold hell tolerable when wife and I can hop on a quick flight for free.
But my favorite part of Southwest is the douchebag who thinks he's hot **** and lines up 30 minutes in advance at the very front of the A-line only to have another baller roll in front of his A2 spot at the last second. Never fails.
-Thanks to the wonderful folks at Citi and their absolute lack of a clue, flying BOS-HNL first class on AA in January and staying at the Grand Hyatt Kauai for free thanks to Chase. :100points:
Southwest is good, not really a fan of their lineup though. But it's worth the drive to the ville for the direct flight to Vegas.
Pro priority boarding. The overhead bins absolutely will get filled up and some poor sap gets stuck checking their bag. No thanks.
And yes, carrying on when you can is absolutely the way to go. Quick trips and not having your gear FTL. Longer trips and traveling with females, sure go ahead and check.

if you don't want to carry on, southwest does allow you to check your bag. for free, even. you people realize this, right?
Call me crazy, but I'd much rather spend 8, 10, 12, 14 hours circumnavigating the globe, all the while getting pampered by the world's best airlines (Singapore, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Lufthansa, Thai, etc) than I would running 50 miles through God's creation in po-dunk Mississippi. Different strokes and all that.
Love how this post was immediately followed by yet another email asking for my advice with his first "real" international trip. As with most BBdK things, a little bit of truth and a whole lot of spin.
I've thanked you for your service and even sent you nice care packs while you were there. Thanks, Bob.
I check bags everywhere. I hate carry on. Dreading the carry on BS related to G. My typical carry on is a bag just larger than my tablet filled with computer, charger, Altoids and Bose. The 5 minutes you save isn't worth the hassle.
You're correct in that the cancellation of SQ 22 in 2013, formerly the world's longest flight, prompted me to go ahead and schedule another trip to SE Asia. But I also was able to hit Vietnam and Siem Reap/Angkor Wat in Cambodia for the first time, which was incredible. Learn maximization.
Flying over is a breeze. Flying back sucks. London is a relatively short Euro flight. You'll be fine. Aisle seats are a must for walking around.
Our D was playing just cocky in that 4th Qtr. Cost us a penalty/interception but dang they were crazy.
I thought that the companion pass started as of the date your points hit 110K? I read that in a points guy post, but I don't know if it was dated or inaccurate though.
my dad was on the first concorde trip from new york to lexington. bbdk was still 20 years out from his flight, so he won't remember that.
Believe it's actually when the statement posts. Just make sure you finish your minimums in 2016.
Two things:
1) I only carry on a lap top backpack
2) I was just saying all this about priority boarding. Not a huge deal for me either way.

You're correct in that once you hit 110k, you're eligible for a CP for the remainder of that year and all of the following year. But all 110k have to be earned in the same calendar year. That's why it's best to try and earn those points as early in the calendar year as possible, as that gives you almost 2 years with a CP.
As Anth said, it's important to know when your credit card statement will close, as that's when the points are transferred to your SWA account.

Actually driving to Nashville Thursday to fly SW direct in and out of New Orleans. Saved about $250 and don't have to fly Delta, United, American, etc. with a connection, which means I won't get stranded/miss a significant portion of my trip. Pretty dope concept, really.
It does...in a calendar year. So if 50k post in '15, and 50K post in 16...you'll still have 60K to go to reach CP.
Just make sure u don't hit min spend on BOTH cards til Your first statement close of Jan.
I'd apply in Nov, then hit final min spend on both as close as possible to Jan 1...then crush another 6K ASAP
That's what we did and had the CP for 22 months.

If it were me, I'd apply for the cards sometime in late Oct or Nov, activate them when you receive them, and then just hold off on any spending until January 1st. You have 90 days to meet the min spend requirement, so as long as you do it in early Jan, you'll be fine. That's the safest play. You could do the min spend in late December, but only once you're absolutely sure that you won't have another statement close in 2015.
When you're ready to apply, let me or another Catpaw friend send you a referral link rather than going through the points guy or something, as there's a 5k bonus when you refer-a-friend. The offer is the same, 50k.
I don't think GYERO can handle the questions associated with Chase getting in the credit card game.
Truth when it comes to flying to Japan, though at this point, they have to be upgrading you to business / first class every time if seats are available. Back in 2005, I was one of Northwest's Top 10 flyers in AP. They even came and personally met with me at the office and gave me a nice Mikimoto pen set. Still have it and writes like a champ. Today they'd probably throw a packet of peanuts at you and tell you to be happy.
I find flying to/from Europe to be far worse when it comes to jet lag than flying to/from Asia. I think Asia flips your clock so much that you just kind of stay in a fog whereas Europe just messes up your sleep just enough that you feel like you're not getting any sleep.
Right now I have a trip coming up to Amsterdam and I'm sitting on Delta's site just waiting for a economy comfort seat to open up on the 8 hours from ATL to AMS. Nothing like 8 hours in a hard *** seat and not being able to stretch out your legs to make for a fun trip.
What's the best/easiest route for transferring Ultimate Rewards points over to qualify for the companion pass? TIA
anyone have experience cutting cable? can you share with me your process? tia.
Make sure your blade is sharp and make a fast, quick cut so that it's clean, no jagged edges. You're welcome.
please send this in a private email to chief. just in case he's wondering.
Do love this quote. Freaking Ulis.
“Everybody said, ‘You’re going to get a great four-year guard, this is what you need,’ ” Calipari said. “So he comes in (for a recruiting visit and) I said to him, ‘Tyler, look, if you want to be here four years, don’t come here. Go somewhere else. We don’t do that. We’re here preparing everyday to chase dreams.’
“He looked at me and said, ‘I’m ready to sign. I was tired of hearing that (expletive), too.’ "

-FALL!!! More like FAIL!!
-I will say I enjoy a good Sunday rainy day on occasion.
-That new theater in Louisville looks DOPE. 73, how was it?
-59 and rain on Saturday. Chili weather.

a light inconsequential drizzle and everyone driving in this river city loses their freaking ish. wrecks littering the curbsides all over town, everyone 30 to 45 minutes to work, hens worried sick that Paxton & Sophia were not properly dressed for a cold rainy day.
