Assigned? :confused:
Odd, I thought SWA did party seating still.

I guess not for this flight.

Have fun up there.  I am thinking of taking that 4-5 hour drive and staying with my brother for a while.  Great place, just expensive.

If you're going to the Air & Space museum, they have a Bf.109G6, a Macchi MC.202, a V2, a B26, and a few other WWII birds (I think a P51 and a zero?). I don't believe they don't have a Ta152 unless they added it since last year.

They have an Ar-234 at the Air and Space Museum, too? I know there was one at the Udvar-Hazy Center when I was there.

Have fun.  BTW, If you like drinking Dr. pepper, it is real hard to find it served in D.C.

Shoot, I can bet people up north have never tasted Dublin Dr Pepper (we usually get a 12 or 24 pack when we see them at the store)

BUT... I'm more of a Coke person ;)

Yea, I think it's a 2 hour flight to Houston...

It's barely a two hour drive from Austin to Houston.  Flight from gate to gate is little more than 30 minutes.  Climb, descend, you're there.

Have a fun trip.

Just what the paper's telling me, and it's about a 4 hour drive to Houston if you don't hit Traffic (which is like jumping into the Ocean and not getting wet)

Edit, 4 hour drive THROUGH Houston. ;)

I've driven from Austin to Houston in 1 hr 30 mins. Followed a A Vette and 911 down 71 to I10, not a single cop.

Have a fun trip!
