you could take a screenshot of the QR, print it out, tape the paper to the remains of the hanger, and use a bent piece of cutlery to fashion a hook

I have a lot of things to look forward to, but one of the things I am most looking forward to this month is my pre-ordered beet salad on my flight home from PDX next week.

I figured I’d move this bin not by Eastbay1K to the Bored Room to prevent further off topicness:
.
As for lie flats, i have recently taken to flying AS to JFK and DL (and occasionally AA) on the return, if the price is similar, which it often is on the last flight out. I just feel a lot better after what can be 7 hours (from boarding to disembarkation) in that seat ... Lying back and watching something on a real screen, maybe a little nap, and greatly reduced chance of unintentional slouching back pain...
...Not to mention the flatware, which doesn't bend when I look at it.
I’ve also taken to the Widget Skies lately. I thought AS MP was a superior program to SkyPesos (and it is to some extent, especially for longhaul premium).
I’ve been rather pleasantly pleased at how aggressively their domestic(ish) awards are priced. As in “hey, do you want to spend $189 on this AS Main Cabin flight to JFK or 9,000 SkyPesos + $5.60? Oh yeah, we have better food in our lounge too, that you get to come into”. I’m hopping to Vegas for < 10k regularly (sometimes 4k). DL often tries to match WN RR award prices in SkyPesos.
That MQD and 25k AMEX tax is a bridge too far for me… but I find myself looking forward to a flight in DeltaOne. I hope they got some salad bowls from their partner AM to go with the flatware.
(Don’t worry, I’m still mushing to FAI on the plane with Chester on the tail at the end of the month.)

Meanwhile, Skypesoville Airlines has recommenced PDBs, at least on certain domestic services. One can only hope that this gives a hint of whatever to the subject airline of this forum.

Maybe the owner of the Seahawks, Jody Allen (the late Paul Allen's sister who inherited the team). It's looking like she'll be the last one around to turn out the lights after ruining the team (oh, and btw... she's done the same thing to the other team she owns just down the I-5, the Portland Trailblazers).

That Wacky AS App
So, I think my AS App was drunk this weekend.
First, it told me that my 8:35 a.m. flight was delayed until 8:35 a.m.:
Then it told me that boarding for my 8:35 a.m. flight would start at 2:47 p.m.:
Or some weird time warp stuff going on? I wouldn't be surprised to find out that we landed two days before we took off.
