nov-4-1999: The PIP express LAX-HNL on UA-3-class-aircraft, the upstairs business-class was exclusively filled with FlyerTalkers, and Gisela and I were part of that pre-party-flight. As this LAX-HNL segment was 'only' part of the (upgraded from paid business to first with miles) Europe-Hawaii trip, we volunteered months before the flight to be downgraded to business!
(All trip and seat-bookings for that unforgettable PIP-flight were booked by all FlyerTalkers 330 days in advance - PremEx informed and organized this in perfection).
PIP = 'Party in Paradise' !
