I don't have a ticket but will find a good Pub. Problem is Northwest wants $275 each way from Harrisburg. Gees.
My point is, when are they going to start lowering prices on domestic flights just to get around our own country?
Heck, I can go to LA, SillyFrisco for less cost.
Forget it, I will watch the Steelers beat Seattle on TV.
Paleo, thanks for the ping. I noticed you resisted replying to these ignorant people saying they are afraid to fly on two engine aircraft over water...... ;o)

That's cheap compared to the cost of Super Bowl tickets.
Looking at a map, the distances seem roughly equivalent.
But the Hong Kong to London Flight was west to east while a SYD-LHR flight is east to west. At certain times of the years, the head winds going east to west can greatly decrease range.
And do what else? The zoo in the winter? The art exhibits? The bowling allies? The bars? Yea, right.
I have been to two Super Bowls and partied in 2 more cities where I couldn't get tickets when I was was working and making some good money.
Not this time.
Not even close. Hong Kong (along with Singapore and Bangkok) is a refueling stop for Sydney // London flights.

My car is in similar condition.
I reckon Orville and Wilbur could have pulled that off. ;)
I use the string on the globe to explain it to my grandchildren.

Why would anyone want to make the same post twice? You only say the saem thing twice.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
It does if you care about exposure to radiation.
