"Maybe they sent some of the IAD crew out to retrain the SFO slackers."

Priceless ;-)

Will probably go to the SKL for a quick shower at 21:45

They have always point blank told me they do not HAVE Drink chits at SFO DOM.

I've often hooked up with FT'ers there for a while before heading off to It'l term for SYD flight with a SYD BP and they hold that line each time.

Ever noticed the term TransBorder at all of our major airports here in Canada? Most have three check-in areas which clearly demarcate destinations: Domestic, Transborder and International. The USA, and even Mexico, have seldom been considered at International destinations to/from Canada/USA.

That interesting because even AC STARGolds don't get them when flying transborder. Nor when flying in coach overseas, just business and first.
