Desk Tidy

This afternoon I will:

1. Get the database upto date for what has been a very very busy week
2. Tidy my desk and surrounding floorspace

This evening I will mostly be drinking outside.

Yet More Boring Travel Stuff

My meetings in Seattle have been arranged so I've got to go. My travel options are now:

1. United: Heathrow - Chicago - Seattle
Pro's: Good(ish) inflight entertainment, reasonably modern fleet
Con's: Crap airline, bad times

2. KLM: Bristol - Amsterdam - Seattle
Pro's: Convenient flights, good times
Con's: Crap airline out of Amsterdam (the flight is run by Northwest Airlines on DC-10s!), even crapper inflight movies (can you believe there are still airlines which only have a main cabin movie for economy class?

I suspect the KLM option is going to be the most practical, given thats only a 30 minute taxi ride from home. Still, I suppose its only DVT after all.

EDIT OF THE EDIT
Air Canada has appeared as an option (seat pitch 34")

Is now booked - via Vancouver, I tried to persuade my boss to fly me business class, and got a "when you win the business..." response. So there's hope yet.

(At the very least BA Premium Economy is pretty good)

Crap inflight entertainment, and a question mark on the drinks policy (they appear to only have a limited range of alcoholic beverages for free...) however, it'll do.
