The reason is they're stupid. Well my boss is and by default she must be if she married him! Despite working with me for the past few years they've failed to join any ff program despite actually paying for J class travel themselves now and then!

I told him to be the romantic and surprise her. Sure, the hotel will give him access to her room, just show you're passport and wedding band. They love that mushy stuff!!

Actually, I was hoping he'd be stuck in the lobby waiting for hours before she returned. We'd just had a major disagreement and this was going to be my revenge!

As luck would have it he's not going now as he called her and found she's going somewhere for the weekend that is a 6 hour drive away, and after 10 hours in the plane he didn't fancy that. Not with only 72 hours to play with!

Thanks for all your input. It's been amusing! ^ ^
