My FIL ever since UA came out with their campaign against skiplegged - he calls me up before his trips to check for any hidden cities. Now he will start calling me when he has to fly BA as well I guess. Thanks Mr. BA.

I really did. It's so true. I've heard from at least 5 people who still use Yahoo as a news and search engine  ;) they know I am into travel and they all came telling me what they saw in the news and that they have never heard about it and they will of course start using it.

I once called LH to inquire about a one-way fare from Ukraine to NYC, and was quoted $2900. I asked him so much? "one way is always more then round trip" so do for me a round trip "when do you want to return?" never, you said it's cheaper, I'm not going to fly it "ok it's $600"
