FlyerTalk Luggage Tags
Thanks are in order to our esteemed leader, SanDiego1K and the folks at Internet Brands (the owners of FT).
Let me explain...
Seasoned FlyerTalkers will recognize the famous overly long FT luggage tags. I reckon I could spot one a mile away - in an airport or the aisle of any 757.
I've struck up many a conversation on-board as soon as I've seen the tag.
Thanks to dedehans (and From NYC) for their help, Fedex, SanDiego1K and IB, 50 tags are winging their way to Dubai. With IB's compliments.
I'll hand them out to you all at the Welcome Drinks. Or when I see you...
Not long to go. Brace yourself effie....

Even when you have 4 different FT tags on your bag it still doesn't work.

I have the distinct honor of bringing FT Junior to Dubai, but I would like to hand him off there so that he can explore a bit more outside the US. The only request is that he make it back to tommy777 in Chicago by the end of July somehow. Anyone want to take him in a few trips?

Hmm... Looks like the 5:30, 6:00, and 6:30pm timeslots are already sold out for advance purchase tickets for the Burj Khalifa observation deck.
I still think we definitely want to do this - anyone else interested in a 7pm ride to the top on Friday, or some other time over the weekend?

Attendees,
This is a last and final call for anyone who is interested in participating in the Dune Bashing on Sunday. Please identify yourself immediately.
We only have three people so far, and unless we get 6, this activity becomes economically unviable. If we still don't have enough people in a couple of days, I'm going to have to pull the plug on this, and I'm terribly sorry to those who had already signed up.

Although, since sunset is at 7:12pm, we'll quite likely still be up there at 7. And you might just barely make it in time...I wonder what percentage of those tix sold are FTers?

I will come with my girlfriend, will we have any problem at the Hotel because we are not married? Should we ask for two double beds instead of a King one?
Thanks
Thanks
