I for one would be interested in hearing all about your trip. <br /><br />Most of my knowledge of Uganda comes from Donald Westlake's novel Kawaha about a gang of crooks who steal the train with the coffee harvest from under Idi Amin's nose. <br /><br />Great book as are all of Westlake's books. <br /><br />John HenryJohn r Henrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-55979964825649308392011-06-06T08:12:52.294-04:002011-06-06T08:12:52.294-04:00Yeah, there's some bizarre bookkeeping that go...Yeah, there's some bizarre bookkeeping that goes on so that airline partners minimize the number of seats that their users can redeem on partner airlines-- the problem being that Delta has to pay KLM to redeem on KLM and vice versa. So each airline would rather you use the miles themselves. This ind of crap is typical in the industry.<br /><br />Of course, it is part of the wonders of laws designed to prevent foreigners from owning airlines. (The US is very bad in this regard with domestic flights, which is why Virgin had to create Virgin America. The Bush Administration tried to ease the rules on foreigners a bit, but Congress would have none of it.) In a world without that, there would be real gains from a truly multinational airline.John Thackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269867695937765049noreply@blogger.com
