Never bought a personal ticket through a travel agent.

Never resisted the urge to post on any topic discussing the utter and imminent destruction of Flyertalk Community and the subsequent end of the world.

Never made an idle threat to an airline or its representative -- I always follow through.

Never been rebooked by a gate agent after a flight cancellation/delay -- always over the phone.

I've stayed at a Super 8 --- and liked it! (I was literally the first customer to stay in the place in Sulfur, LA - it was great!)

I've never tipped a cabbie, bellman, parking lot shuttle driver, airport restaurant waiter, skycap, or valet attendant while traveling and using such facilities.

Yes I do get many dirty looks.

BTW, what's a Hamlet? Is it new from McDonalds?

Maybe it's by yourself or with another.

I've been to LGW and LHR but never to London or any of the British Isles.

I've been to EuroDisney and Disneyland, but have never been to Disney World.

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

FWIW, Sometimes people attribute differences to things that actually exist only in their own minds!

But hey, what do I know, I'm NOT even in the Club!

I've never used the first class bathroom when not flying first class.

I used the $4-a-minute phone in my seatback - just to say I did...

Exactly. At least, that was the defense our nation's fearless leader used. :::ducking!:::

Well, I have never:
Had a Samuel Adams,
Called a F/A honey or babe,
Shaken the ice in my glass to get a refill,
Asked to switch seats,
Been able to get my employer to agree to a trip when there were tons of extra bonuses available,
Met Catman or Essxjay,
Flown Midwest Express or Midway or Southwest,
Done a mileage run (yet).

Since I have spent the better part of the last two years in Denver, joined on occaison by my partner, I have completed the non-flyers' version of the MHC in the Mile High City. Sadly no airmiles.

On the advice of counsel I invoke my fifth amendment right by refusing to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me.

It's okay, kyklin - I don't mind if you tell everyone.

My confession is I have made Plat but have never flown as a Plat. (How idiotic am I!?)

Well, I've never been to Heaven
But I've been to Oklahoma
They tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember.

Plus, I've never flown in a 747, 777, 717, DC-10, or MD-11.

LOL people! Maybe I'm easily amused but this is a hysterical thread. I'm archiving it straightaway. (And you all are now on notice: delete incriminating posts now in case you plan to run for public office someday ... )
