Great post, TravelCrazy. I'm wondering how you can "honor" the FrequentFlyer "gods" for smiling on your in your travels?

IT's another example of why it's great to earn elite in a program. But be prepared that this will not happen EVERYTIME. Just
remember that it can happen.

I think another "plus" in your favor is that
you seem like a friendly and personable guy
so that might have impressed the airline "powers that be."

Being nice can help you avoid the "price" of
being stranded. CATMAN
