I'll get you next time

Well it is a FlAAgship lounge. It's meant to be the best stuff

I spent that week at a conference in Okinawa (787 TR coming soon!) with someone who spent most of her time charting Sandy's progress via facebook as it slowly blew away parts of New Jersey (where she'd left her dog with her uncle) and as the waterline raised itself towards her apartment in the East Village of NYC.

To be honest, I didn't ring the gold lines - I just rung the number that was in the txt message/email. If I had thought to ring the gold line... who knows. Maybe I would had gained 30 minutes or so... or be able to fly out on the Monday direct from ORD.

I think the Gold card helped to put me on the top of the queue to be rebooked though - I imagine if I had no cards, I'd be waiting.

I hope your friend is ok and managing to get back to normal after the floods.

Thanks Weean

Ahh. It's a bloody useful App - as well as seat monitoring, ticket and segment monitoring too!

Thanks schofs

Ah.. There are a few of us luxury_travel, but they all like to keep in hiding I suspect.

I've just started another trip today, and my first comments are

Servisair has done up the BHX lounge AGAIN?
Swiss Cannabis Ice Tea. That ends all arguments.

Glad you enjoyed luxury_travel
