^^^. I still can't wrap myself around sitting on a plane, in ANY class for a minute longer then necessary. The idea of flying fro BKK-LAX, THE LONG WAY!!! Just to get a card that is not exactly impressive, does nothing for you but give you a few more miles and a hope for an upgrade that may never happen

I love to travel, hate to fly these days but love to travel. Instead of paying out of pocket (and there are plenty here who pay out of pocket themselves, but if they sleep in lounges, buy cheapest fares, & use a flight like a Disney ride) then perhaps their money can be spent elsewhere on things they really need - at the same time, do what I and thousands of others have done,......Find a career that requires travels
