mlc it shouldn't be because we haven't reached the limit if there is one in the past.

I'm in again. Any other Pattaya league codes?

Very small window indeed.I had 2 friends use my buddy passes for distant future travel and they saved a few bucks. All but 3 airlines did but I didn't check today to see if they caught on to this money making gov't freebee.

Every person,regardless of age on an international flight,must have a ticket.That was the rule for my entire career and was in force when I retired in '06.

Airline tax holiday in effect. Act fast. PostDateIcon July 23rd, 2011 Due to the budget stalemate in Washington, airlines stopped collecting some federal taxes on airline tickets at 12:01 Saturday morning. This means that most airline tickets bought from now until there’s a budget agreement in Washington will not be subject to the 7.5% federal excise tax, the $3.50 segment fee, or the $16.30 international departure tax. For example, travelers booking now will get a savings of $37 on a typical $400 domestic fare. The higher the fare, the more you save on the federal excise tax. So, let’s say you need to take a quick trip to New York next week and the last minute fare is $1000 round trip– you’ll save $82 on that fare. While airlines may be price matching soon or already — just raising fares to make up the difference and pocket the windfall– a Delta spokesperson told The TICKET that the carrier is not collecting the federal taxes and has not increased fares as a result, and ticket prices have declined. Similarly, a United spokesman said this morning that the carrier has stopped collecting the taxes and while its base fares remain unchanged, the final ticket price to the consumer would be less. Also, Alaska Airlines told the Seattle Times that it is not collecting the tax and its customers would save about 14% on ticket prices as a result. However, a spokesman for AirTran (and Southwest) said that the carriers have raised roundtrip fares $8 “to offset industry cost pressures.” That means that AirTran’s ticket prices today will be more or less the same as they were yesterday. Also, the Washington Post reports that American and US Airways have raised fares to offset any tax savings. So if you’ve been sitting on a fence about a fare, now might be a good time to go ahead and bite the bullet– at least on Delta, United, Alaska and Virgin America. But keep an eye on this…as always fares are subject to change!

ANA and AirAsia to form 'AirAsia Japan' New joint venture the first low-cost carrier based at Narita International Airport, Tokyo TOKYO, July 21, 2011 - ANA Group, Japan's largest airline, and AirAsia, the world's best low cost airline, today announced that they are teaming up to form AirAsia Japan, a new low-cost carrier. AirAsia Japan will be the first low-cost carrier to be based at Narita International Airport. Operating under the AirAsia brand, it is to serve both domestic and international destinations when commencing operations in August 2012, subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. In Japan, the aviation market is undergoing rapid transformation with developments including the expansion of Open Skies agreements and increased domestic competition from road and rail-based travel. In addition, Narita airport, a major international hub serving Tokyo, is seeking to increase capacity with the introduction of a new terminal and is expected to attract many low-cost carriers and foreign airlines. ANA has been seeking opportunities to launch a new low-cost business based at Narita and, after analysis, has concluded that partnering with an existing low-cost carrier is the most efficient and strategically advantageous option. Having already established an unmatched network,especially within the ASEAN region, AirAsia has been seeking a business partner with strong Japanese market influence to further expand its scope, as well as contribute to strengthening bilateral ties between ASEAN and Japan. The formation of AirAsia Japan leverages AirAsia's successful business model and brings together the complementary strengths of the two companies, generating new demand with the aim of making affordable and quality travel available to all.

HALF OFF BUSINESS ELITE UPGRADES. For overseas flyers, there’s some good news this summer for people using miles for upgrades. Until Aug. 31, 2011, Delta is allowing upgrades to Business Elite for 50% fewer miles. For example, transatlantic mileage upgrades are typically 15,000 miles each way. This summer, they can be had for 7,500 miles each way. Upgrades are permitted only on Y, B or M Economy Class fares, which are usually quite expensive, and are subject to availability. Before redeeming miles, it is best to call Delta to see if “Z” availability is open since that is the class that must be open to upgrade with miles (or with systemwide upgrade certificates). No registration is required. Click here for more information. While using miles can be a good deal, keep in mind that Delta often sells Business Elite seats at a discount, which can be even cheaper than a full Economy Class fare, but come with many restrictions. Be sure to research all the options before redeeming your hard-earned miles!

I've used them 5x without any issues.

jacko,I have something,not a prescription med,that will make that only 1 trip per night.Andrew Lessman's Prostate Support.Have been using it for 3 years and works great.One small per cap per day.

I love soccer as much as anyone here but it's simply too much! Zero tolerance? At FIFA, more like zero scruples... By JOHN LEICESTER AP Sports Columnist PARIS -- When history books are written, this should go down as the week when FIFA's paper-thin last scraps of dignity and credibility withered and died. Because this was the week that world football's governing body exposed itself: It professes to "zero tolerance" of corruption but, from its actions this week, "zero scruples" appears closer to the truth. This May, football officials called to a meeting in the Caribbean were offered brown envelopes stuffed with $40,000 in $100 notes and told not to breathe a word. We know this because some but not all the officials later blew the whistle. FIFA investigated. Its conclusions, leaked this week, were that the payments seem to have been bribes and that two of its most senior and influential executives - FIFA vice president Jack Warner and Asian football chief Mohamed bin Hammam - were allegedly neck-deep in the dirt. Evidence, FIFA said, was "comprehensive, convincing and overwhelming." Bin Hammam wanted Sepp Blatter's job as FIFA president. For that, he needed football officials' votes. From FIFA's report, it appears he was ready to pay for them. Warner, one of football's most powerful men, allegedly used his clout and contacts to act as bin Hammam's facilitator. FIFA's report accused him of arranging the May 10-11 meeting at a hotel on the Caribbean island of Trinidad and of condoning the payoffs. If FIFA put football's interests first, Warner should have been banished as an example to others, packed off in disgrace, good riddance. FIFA's report even suggested as much. "Corruption affects the very core of sports and is to be considered as nothing less than life-threatening for sports and sports organizations. Thus, if there is considerable suspicion that offenses related to corruption might have been committed, immediate action is imperative," it said. "FIFA has a direct and pressing interest in barring the persons concerned from sports immediately and effectively," it added. "In this regard, FIFA and the FIFA Ethics Committee adhere to a zero tolerance approach." You can almost hear Warner laughing. He walked away, resigning this week from football duties and taking with him his secrets from 28 years inside the most discredited governing body in sports. Whatever knowledge Warner may have of any misdeeds within FIFA, the "football tsunami" of embarrassing revelations that he threatened to unleash, he can now keep for himself. Good deal for Warner, an insult for football. Warner is not banned from football stadiums or from contacting buddies still working in the game, officials who owe him their jobs and may still do his bidding. It seems, although FIFA's press office won't outright confirm or deny this, that Warner may even still be eligible for his FIFA pension, payable for as many years as he served on the executive committee - 28. The biggest scandal is that FIFA waved off Warner with kind words of thanks, saying his football work was "appreciated and acknowledged." FIFA's statement completely omitted mention of its own report, which it was sitting on, that accused him of knowing about, facilitating and condoning the alleged bribery in the Caribbean. Nor did it recall the 2006 World Cup ticket scam for which Warner's family was fined, or the other alleged financial misdeeds that critics linked him to over the years. FIFA closed its ethics probe of Warner. And because Warner is no longer involved in football, FIFA said it no longer has any authority to investigate him. That may be true, but FIFA surely didn't need to go the extra mile and state, as it so obligingly did, that Warner's "presumption of innocence is maintained." FIFA hasn't been so forgiving with others, like Michel Zen-Ruffinen, Blatter's former right-hand man forced out for crossing swords with his boss a decade ago. Last November, FIFA declared Zen-Ruffinen "persona non grata" after he told reporters that countries bidding for the World Cup were secretly trading votes. So why was Warner accorded such a face-saving send-off? Out of fear that he might, if dealt with strictly, pull down others in FIFA, too? More worrisome is why Warner and bin Hammam apparently felt safe that they wouldn't get into trouble for the alleged bribery in May and that officials offered wads of cash wouldn't double-cross them. Does that suggest that, in the past, officials simply took the money? And is this how FIFA presidential votes are won? These are questions Warner no longer needs to answer. How can that be zero tolerance? John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.

He said he served in the US military.

What pisses me off more than airports is that some hotels charge an arm and a leg for it,especially outside the US. Mexico,central America,latin America and Europe have absurd fees except for higher-end hotels. IRRC,Motel 6 charges $2.99 a day,which I use on motorcycle trips. Fort Lauderdale airport has had if free for a few years now.

What's funny is I thought he was selling 3 scooters by the description and was wondering how they all managed to have 6k on them-I was thinking rentals.

C'mon mlc,make it a once in a lifetime thing.I went to the Masters once for 2 rounds and that was a great experience. I much prefer to watch and attend LPGA events. Whatever sport women play is much closer to the level of any sport you and I play.Plus,they are far more attractive than the men.And more accessible too.

For years, one of the top if not the top amenity on many road warriors' wish lists has been free Wi-Fi at the airport. Slowly but surely, it's happening. Take a look at the USATODAY.com Airport Guides, airport websites, and various commercial and user-generated Wi-Fi directories. You'll see there are now hundreds of U.S. airports offering travelers complimentary wireless Internet access. San Francisco? Free. Orlando? Free. Seattle, Sacramento and San Jose? Free, free, free. Washington's Dulles and National airports? As of April, 2011, free as well. Free Wi-Fi sounds great. But during heavy usage times at some airports, service often slows down. And some free airport Wi-Fi has strings. Most often, it's in the form of advertising a user must view before getting online. ALSO ONLINE: What's your most frustrating experience with weak hotel Wi-Fi? At Denver International Airport, "Sometimes it's a session sponsorship, such as a video and then users are directed to the internet," said DIA spokesperson Laura Coale. "Sometimes it is banner ads." At Boston's Logan International Airport, where 198,000 free Wi-Fi sessions were logged during May, travelers must click through to a second screen before they see the button offering free Wi-Fi. "The user agrees to watch a short commercial or take a survey to gain access to the free site," said airport spokesperson Mathew Brelis, "That times out after an hour and they need to log back on again." There remain some holdouts. Notable among airports that only offer paid Wi-Fi (outside of airline club lounges) are Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and JFK, except for JetBlue's Terminal 5, where complimentary Wi-Fi is offered as an amenity by the airline. There's a plan underway to provide free Wi-Fi at Los Angeles International Airport within a year. Is a little Wi-Fi too little? At some airports that cannot yet swing free Wi-Fi financially or contractually, there is a new model: hybrid, or tiered, service. Complimentary Wi-Fi with limited time and, often, limited bandwidth is available, but for a fee travelers can also choose more secure, robust and unlimited service. Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City offers travelers 20 minutes of complimentary Wi-Fi. In Houston, travelers get 45 minutes of complimentary Wi-Fi at both Hobby Airport and George Bush Intercontinental airports. "Some revenue needs to be generated by Boingo, our wireless vendor, to cover the costs of the Wi-Fi system," explains Houston Airports spokesperson Marlene McClinton, "And charges for upgraded, faster downloads and beyond 45 minutes help." "The airport is weighing the possibility of offering entirely free Wi-Fi," said McClinton, "But a timeline and strategy are still being discussed." Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has had some form of paid Wi-Fi available since 2000, but in May it began offering travelers a complimentary 30-minute session. Once the free session expires, a customer must wait 24 hours for another, find one of the airport's free internet kiosks, or purchase premium access from the airport's Wi-Fi provider, Boingo Wireless, which has roaming agreements with a variety of partners. "Austin's airport has different customer groups," said spokesman Jim Halbrook. "Our business travelers need and pay for a premium Wi-Fi product. The 30-minute complimentary Wi-Fi sessions are a convenient amenity for casual users," he said. "It's our way of fulfilling the needs of very different travelers." Nashville International Airport is currently evaluating its Wi-Fi options. During the winter, the airport complemented paid airport-wide Wi-Fi with 20 minutes of sponsored Wi-Fi in the Meeter/Greeter areas and in the food court. "We are still determining the impact of the promotion to our business model," said airport spokesperson Emily Richard. "Airport officials are studying how to continue to offer a complimentary service to customers that desire it and a level of service and security for those customers who require it." For now, sponsored, complimentary Wi-Fi continues to be offered in the food court. Why just the food court? "Anecdotal studies say free Wi-Fi may have an overall negative effect on airport revenue," explains Boingo Wireless spokesman Christian Gunning. "If people are watching a movie on-line they're not walking around the airport shopping or spending money in the food court." Do travelers care? Karen Marmolejo, a career/life coach in Sacramento, won't pay for Wi-Fi at an airport, but is grateful when free access is offered. "Generally I don't need access to the internet for more than 20 minutes anyway as there are many things I can do on my laptop that doesn't require me to be online," she said. But Forrester Research travel industry analyst Henry Harteveldt said hybrid Wi-Fi "is a way for airports to avoid building out the infrastructure to support travelers. It is cheap — and annoying… Shame on them." Annoying or not, hybrid Wi-Fi plans at airports may be sticking around. "Consumers are familiar with these kinds of policies where the heaviest users pay higher fees," said Amy Cravens, senior analyst for In-Stat. "The tiered pricing model has its place in the hotspot market, particularly in airports where the amount of time spent on the network varies so greatly." Outside airports, many travelers are already making those choices. A survey by travel research organization YPartnership found that 67% of frequent travelers have had a bad experience with free Internet while on the road. "Nearly half of those respondents are willing to pay for Internet. They just want fast service to get their work done and to access the Internet for entertainment," said David Garrison, CEO of iBAHN, the provider of internet service at 300,000 hotel rooms worldwide. "[T]he explosion in the use of photos and videos — think Facebook, You Tube and devices like iPad — has caused the amount of data per session to go up 50% per year. So free is not free and it's getting more expensive every year." Harriet Baskas writes about travel etiquette for MSNBC.com and is the author of the airport guidebook Stuck at the Airport and a blog of the same name.

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land." Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced to the US) Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land." Today, Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land! I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc . . . I called a Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for English. I was connected to a call centre in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...... Old but still funny.

Out of necessity!

I'm happy somebody here appreciates it.I watched every minute broadcast all 4 days.I was going to use Nicholson but that would have been too obvious. BUT NBC got a ration of shit for omitting "Under God" in a piece they did containing the Pledge of Allegiance during the tourney and apologized twice for it.It was still nicely done though.
