I love this thread!


I flew as an adult for nearly 10 years after the introduction of FF programs before getting off my sorry butt and joining. Now I rue the "original" miles I passed up.

I have never used a drink coupon in-flight or in an airline lounge. I have never had an alcoholic drink on a plane or in a lounge. I have never tasted alcohol in my life, despite having no religious or moral basis -- everyone else in my family drinks. It simply never interested me. Now, I have enough airline drink coupons to wallpaper my bedroom.

I have never sampled UA's Starbucks coffee or AA's Colombian coffee. I have never drunk coffee to give me a charge before or during travel or to stay awake. In fact, I have never tasted coffee (or tea) in my life, despite having no religious or moral basis. It simply never interested me.

I would burn the aforementioned drink coupons, but I have never lit a match in my life. This one I really can't explain, but I guess I have never had occasion to light anything. I've never smoked, or even lit a candle.

I have flown through DFW more times than I care to think about, but I have never been to Dallas and can't honestly tell you what direction it is from the airport.

Despite being passionate about geography, until I was in my late 20's I kept confusing the locations of Chicago and Detroit.

Until last month I had never been to Asia, not even for a mileage run.

I have seen hundreds of movies on airplanes and in cinemas, but I have never seen Star Wars.


There, all out in the open.
