Thread: Non Rev Around the World

do the trip7 out of ATL--prob get biz class--you can't get that on NW. 15 hrs in coach has to be horrid--it's pretty nifty in biz eilte. then pcik up the NW to HKG. make sure you find the escalator--what a hoot!! take the cheap ferry thru the harbor. get an octopus card including the airport train. are you overnighting in NArita? get discount from PanPacific hotel aka email info@naritatokyu.co.jp LAst price they ofered me was around 11000yen?
Best runway view is from their bar on 11th floor. Eat elsewhere--$$$$

I've only been offered business once on AF--my seatmate had to ask the FA to serve me--he couldn't figure out why she was ignoring me and I couldn't really tell him I was nonrev. Service really sucked but that was many yrs ago. I will avoid AF like the plague personally.

Can you go thru Dubai?

I could pretty much go through anywhere.

I would like to go through BOM, but I don't think you can transit without a visa.

So I read that DL is getting 3 77Ls this month(supposed to come in Jan, but delayed due to Boeing strike). I would love to get a ride on a first flight.

So I think I&#39;m headed to HKG this week. I was considering flying through DTW or ATL and NRT to HKG on my first day off, or working all day, and then hopping through CVG to FRA or CDG and taking Lh or AF to HKG. That would get me in a little earlier, and I&#39;d get around the world, but my Atlantic to Pacific ratio is a little high(12-0).

I&#39;m open to suggestion. Also, of course, my top priority, anybody know if I&#39;d have a better or any chance of business on LH or AF?

Thanks[/b]

You got an agreement with CX? We have 2 a day out of FRA, 2 every second day out of CDG and 1 on other days. But if you are looking to get upgraded don&#39;t bother with us... hell would freeze over first

Are those the ones they are gonna run to SYD?
Branson was quoted last week they picked the wrong a/c to come down here with... 773er is built for the mission whereas the 77L is for longer ops. Maybe it was all hot air... time will tell

This same thought came to me about three weeks ago. Doing some research I came up with this routing: CVG-ATL-NRT (Delta) NRT-ICN-BOM (KoreaN Air) BOM-ATL-AMS (Delta) AMS-SFO (KLM) SFO-CVG (Delta). The oNly reasoN i am doiNg AMS-SFO is to ride aN MD11


Sorry for the capitol N&#39;s. I am at ATL with a classic dowN troddeN keyboard at a empty gate...



Tchau

DA-

why not ATL/ICN nonstop--did you need to be in Narita for anything? BTW-it&#39;s really nowhere near Tokyo...same as Incheon--it&#39;s close to Airport Town, Korea...if you get my drift!
I would seriously utilize NW to get to BKK and then take whatever you need to make it to BOM
definitely had me wondering about the SFO leg
have fun in Bogota
