I have been told the upgrade to [Whatever] Plus is really cheap for what you get and is totally worth the extra few $ - I think the figure I was quoted was about an extra $100. The extra legroom is very noticeable, apparently.

Good luck!

I think it's closer to $1,000 (or $2,000) than $100. I'm going to ask at the airport and see if they have any last-second deals, as I'm told they sometimes do.

Depends on what ticket you have and so on, last time my friend flew he got an airport upgrade for $150...

Treo Games majestros October 16 2006, 03:23:12 UTC

You know you can get lots of good games for the Treo 650 right? I can post some names of games as well as directories to look for games for you as well. Plus LJP (Little John Palm) is a great NES (and many other console) emulator so you can bring any games along on it.

When you have a treo, trying to find iPod games seems silly

BA sometimes won't let you use phones even in flight save mode, but they do let bluetooth devices on the Boeing 744... very weird.

Just picked up the Fuji F30, and I really love it. About the same price/size as the Canons. Had previously been total cheerleader for the Canons but have switched teams based on my research and experience with the F30. Easy, lovely photos, endless battery. I charged mine the day before burning man, and it just went to red this afternoon.

yay moscow! am jealous.

Just a warning, customers requires you to write down everything, and its value, that you bring into the country. If you lose the form when you exit they will try to charge you tax on everything. Be careful to mark down everything, I've had to fight with Russian soldiers before over whether to pay their "Tax".
