This is Commander Catcop, and I think this thread is borderline adult related and I think we should shift back to some g-rated things...
Like: I have never been to Amsterdam but I heard they have nice windmills there.
Thank you.

I have been to CDG (and all over Europe!), but I've never been to Paris.
I have also never been to Mexico.

I always feel some kind of sick obligation to declear every single penny of my purchases abroad if it exceeds the regular $400 custom allowance. Like a fool, I am known for listing a $5 souvenier in my declaration and paying a duty on it. Custom officers probably have a good laugh every time I dutifully march to the window to make my $1.00 or so payment for exceeding the $400 exemption. Sick !

Being a serious wine collector with prohibitive prices in my own country:
1.
-Never taken an international flight with less than 20kg's of hand-luggage..
(But: Almost always within the max. size limits; now that's efficient packing!)
2.
-Always declared my wine purchases with customs. (You don't want to see a grown man cry.)

What's the difference between an honorary and a regular member of the Mile High Club; being caught?

I've used a 25K mile domestic award, when I could have bought the ticket for $230.

I've never been to Mexico by air.
My only trip was by foot, one afternoon, to Tijuana, where I went to a race book and got cheated (IMO) out of about $400.
If I had never read Hamlet I would never have known about not being a borrower nor a lender, nor about consummations devoutly to be wished, nor about parting being such sweet sorrow.

Here's a few:
Never purchased a ticket online - ever.
Never succeeded in getting a truly good airfare deal for myself when paying with money - I almost always overpay.
Never paid the movie or headset fee
Never got a free upgrade just for asking.
