Thanks for checking..we got cold feet this morning and changed JFK->NCE into BDL-PIT-CDG-MRS. Now sitting in PIT with lots of space heading for Paris. Maybe we should've toughed it out, who knows. The numbers are now 12/-11 (bus/coach), but if you drill down into the airport standby list, there was this morning, while the list was empty, another pair of numbers on that list: Seats Remaining: 14/7, or something like that. Is THAT what you mean by "hard count"?
Anyway, we ARE looking forward to a great trip, thanks!
