one more reason for me: I learn/improve my english.

how/when did I become addictet: somewhen in 1990 at the old DEN airport (I did appreciate that location more than todays: closer downtown DEN, less miles to my business partner "Coors" and less miles to the skiing-region: Breckenridge/Vail/BeaverCreek) I did buy a boklet written by GEORGE ALBERT BROWN "THE AIRLINE PASSENGER'S GEURILLA HANDBOOK" "STRATEGIES & TACTICS FOR BEATING THE AIR TRAVEL SYSTEM", The Blakes Publishing Group, Washington DC, ISBN 0-924022-04-3, 1989, and on my following flights back to Switzerland I did read it trough lie I do it now with John Grisham's books without closing my eyes = 396 pages.

It deals with everything a flyer could possibly think of. Even with topics I will never try out (I promise) like "the ethics of getting your extra bags on the plane"how to deal with Hare Krishnas", "smuggling a garment bag past the gate", "what to do when you get caught sneaking your extra bag on", "how to ride to the plane on a transporter", "how to pick up sex objects on the plane", the best ways to make love in an airplane", tricks on an Inveterate Casula Smuggler", "taking advantage of the Psychology of the Average Customs Officer", how you or your estate can collect big bucks through the loopholes in the airline's limitation on liability", "a possible way to double the abolute liability limit", etc, etc,

The book may/will be outdated under many aspects, and I didn't look into it for more than 6 years now.

But if you want, I will go trough this book and give you on a daily basis a tip out of it (I hope not to get into conflict with any copy-rights that way - and I will first look into Amazon if there are newer editions of that book).
