I'm only back because I had to get my resume off my (nearly 7-y/o) laptop. The job hunt never ends. I should come by more often. But FT is a to load up on my iPad, and I don't really take my laptop with me anymore.

Welcome back!

Good morning everyone. I'll off tomorrow PIT-JFK-LHR spending a good chunk of time in the SC. If I can't get guested in, I'll use my AMEX gold. I really don't want to wonder around JFK for four hours.

I will admit, FT doesn't feel much different from when I first joined in 2003.

LOL, but you can spend time bar hopping at JFK.

Hmm, link doesn't show up on mobile, I think known FT bug. Here it is again as just a plain URL:

(warning, may induce GROANs)

at the just concluded ATL mini-DO we hit up all 9 Sky Clubs on Friday afternoon/evening

One for the bar and one for the road walk to the next Sky Club?

Zorak

Truth be told, I only had drinks at I think 6 of the clubs and stuck to water/coffee at the others (didn't completely finish all of them either). Lightweight, I know, but I'm not in college-drinking-shape any more We also stopped for dinner at OFS between the D and E clubs.

That's always seemed like such a tempting idea, but I've never gone through with it.

Zorak

It seems difficult just logistically if you actually intend to have a drink at every club (or fake it, like I did )) -- we started around 4pm and, including dinner, finished up well after 10pm (this is how I found out that E closes at 10pm -- it was nearly deserted at that hour! and I think F closes at 11pm)

If you took out the dinner, and used the Plane Train (we walked in between most of the concourses, I think only took the plane once from C to D to accompany davetravels who continued on to his MEX flight in E without us), and just slammed the drink (or "drink") at each club then maybe it could be squeezed into a 3-4hr layover.

The other variable that can't be controlled is how long the line is to check in to each club. (We also used the elevators since everyone had a rollaboard, stairs would've saved some time)

0700 isn't ryediculously early, but even my sense of humor wasn't ready for that

Zorak

7am is usually ridiculously early for me, so it's a good thing I'm in the eastern time zone

If I am up at 7am, I am probably arriving on a red-eye, and have to return my zwieback to its full upright position.

plus they forgot to mention their canine tracker -- which of course isn't a bloodhound but a bagel

Zorak

That was pain-ful, excuse my French.
