Oh here's a real one.
@ksm06 just approached me in the YYZ international MLL due to this post: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29075329-post3403.html

So I met a new FTer.

And it was totally unplanned, unlike most of the posts in this thread

Some people are jealous

i did not plan to meet our friend CZAMflyer. I knew we would have a date overlap here but since we flew different airlines on different routes, I didn't know where they would be

And to quote the famous @vernonc
24left is happily doing the aviation version of speed dating. Lol

......the adventure continues

Yes, only when it was an unplanned encounter.

Anything planned does not belong here.

Wait what! I missed that somewhere. So does this require its own thread?

Congrats and best of luck on your new VP position Andrew!^ (I found this out from another AC meeting in the morning)
Andrew promoted to VP Product !

Not sure if this counts but I was in the washroom at YVR Dom MLL and someone asked me what my puke yellow flyertalk tags were for. I started explaining about FT and he said that he is on it (lurker) so I explained the tags were for exactly what happened - i.e. FTs see the tags and connect. Never got his name/handle because I think we both were in a rush and the washrooms are not the right place to connect.

Same happens to me, albeit not while I'm taking a number one (or two).

In fairness, this happens way less frequently now that the massive gap in the YUL domestic MLL stall has been reduced... it’s harder to see the tags through the door

This was on November 26, but I haven't really had a chance to just sit down and go through photos until now (8+ hours in the NH F lounge in NRT).

@24left and I realized we were both in Sydney for one overlapping evening, so we grabbed dinner.

However, something ridiculous happened when I opened the menu. You'll see it.



I think we both burst out laughing.

Of course I ordered one.

The best part was that it was actually decent. Not my favorite, but certainly drinkable. Sorry for the lack of focus on the bottle. @24left may have a better shot.



Anyway, here's what everyone has been waiting for:

Currently trying to order that beer. SAQ doesn't have it. Can anyone check LCBO?

@canadiancow

That was great fun.
Here is my photo, just slightly sharper focus. I also checked out the Moo Brew company website. Wow, Tasmania.

Bubble aloft
In the SQ lounge in TPE and bumped into 24left near the stirfry. Recognized her from AC 11 where we had an unfortunate encounter with a gentleman and an unattended alarm clock over the pacific - in a dark cabin. As we were both just here for weekend we got to talking about mileage runs and realized who we were. Looking forward to an alarm free night. And hopefully we won’t misconnect to YYZ.
