No krug and tugs. In fact, Barely a mention of champagne. Nice to have a grown up to read about.

That said, I continue to be shocked that a libertarian free market advocate like Gary would be against dynamic market-based pricing of award tickets.
Being a supposed "libertarian free market advocate" does not mean a consumer needs to cheerlead on behalf of every customer-unfriendly move made by a supplier in the marketplace. And we all ought to know: that this airline passenger service market within/to/from the US is no longer a highly-competitive market; and that it is really anything but a completely free market. What we have is a government-backed oligopoly, where the airline lobby and its supporters have gotten to have their cake and eat it too.
