Fresh from the social yesterday, and in lieu of the shelved Haircut Run comes the Planes, Trains and Automobile adventure.
Thursday 2nd November - Fly to Boston (my birthday so I may have a champagne or two)
Sunday 5th November - journey to New York JFK to make use of the lounge:
via Train - Acela Express - $81 for a Business seat (with inseat power!) for 3h35m journey to Penn Station
Boston, MA
South Station
(BOS)
11:10 am
05-NOV-06 New York, NY
Penn Station
(NYP)
2:45 pm
05-NOV-06
or
via Automobile - same journey takes 3h30m according to MSN Mappoint - I foresee a Top Gear-esque race....
Ultimately plan is to have a group meal for whoever cna make it on the Saturday evening in Boston, and of course takeover of the JFK CH on the Sundy evening.
I have some corp rates at hotels in the Back Bay, and there is award availability showing at the various chains (Starwood, Hilton etc) that wish to use points in said way.
Not sure if there are any sports events on the Saturday afternoon, would have to defer to Nick on that one...
Premium fare is currently £830 for a K, though I beleive this may fall slightly int he next few weeks with the upcoming sale.
Thanks,
Richard
