Agreed that this is a fun trailer!

I'd be interested in your comparisons and preferences re the F experiences. on the three airlines.

Have a great trip!

Very much looking forward to this report. Can't tell if I'm more excited for the pictures or the sarcastic and douchey humor!

The gate agent scanned my boarding pass and said, no, because this is a free ticket. Listen b****, its an award ticket, and its a positioning flight for a $10,000 flight tomorrow. Miles arent free. Miles are like money in that both are earned and that I earn more of both in a month than you in a year.




LOL, gagged on my coffee when I saw this. Looking forward to the rest. Love the Top Gear taglines.

Speaking of TG, sucks Clarkson got the boot and the other are not returning. Wont be the same again.

Really?

Let me guess, it's your charm that earns you 'all that money'

Thanks! I will comment on the three as well as comparing them to TG F, CX F, and last but not least, UA F, near the end of the TR. If I forget remind me and I will.

GEG:
The two long flights (to Asia and back to the US) and the hotels in Shanghai is courtesy of my firm, because it is a business trip. Intra-Asia flights are on my own dime. If you'd like to know more send me a message.

It is really a shame. I'd like to know what really happened to. It's rumored that James and Richard are speaking of quitting as well.

Being nice doesn't get paid , or upgraded.
