      you guys get a couple hr head start... so that's a benefit.
      mookie remembers flying there. seemed to take forever, then eh. decided PR was quicker and fit the bill, and if flying that far west (at the time) just continue onto asia.

      kauai is nice. mookie did that and big island. volcano trek was cool.

        Fade has a nonstop from DTW. 9.5-10 hours outbound, 8.5-9 back on a red-eye. Applying certs to try and get a biz class seat, but not holding my breath.

            I will be spending like 21 hours flying to Capetown in August. Minneapolis to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Capetown. (like 4 hour layover) I paid for the exact seats I wanted.

            I hope KLM is better than Air France...the plane to Paris last year was from the 1990s I swear. The TV in the seat was worse than the one I had in my bedroom in HS

                  When I flew to CDG on Air France back in 2000, there was a single projector screen located on the partition between 1st and portage class, playing some French movie. You could either choose to purchase headphone jacks to hear it or non. I chose non.

                    Well I guess if you were flying primarily to CDG you wouldnt care much either. That airport is awful...

                      No kidding!
                      I thought it was bad trying to return our rental car......then I went inside CDG.

                        CDG and Air France are both awful. I try to avoid both. I don't like KLM much better, but it is better, and Schiphol is always good option for connecting in Europe. I thought Aeroflot was better than both KLM or Air France, when I flew all 3 late last year.

                            I would never, ever fly Aeroflot.

                                Prague >>>>> Vienna

                                Dude walk up to folks sitting on sidewalk tables enjoying their day and beg for money.
                                Kids and mookie sat and watched a dude shoplift a hat from a store girl was in.

                                See nothing like that during four nights in Prague and only 24hrs into Vienna
