Yes, I've heard the excuses too.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
--- Too expensive (exchange rate)
--- I might catch some weird disease
--- I can't figure out Travel Planner
--- Just can't do 10-12 hours in a middle seat
--- Don't want to end up on a cot at DFW. [/list]
Personally I don't mind the middle seat, or a cot in DFW

BTW Vulindlela, you've been nonreving 15 years and have never been stuck in another city...I am impressed. You must know somebody.

Welcome aboard Vulindlela, I see you hit the ground running.

Keep'em flying
