I've flown through DFW probably hundreds of times, but never flown just to DFW. (too short a drive from AUS).
I've never been to Antarctica, but flown over it. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
I've never flown international FC, or on paid FC/Biz for a business trip.

Until recently, have been to HNL, but never stepped foot onto the Islands (including the HNL terminal).

Love this thread - glad it was resurrected since I wasn't on board when it originally started

Ok... I can't bring myself to use anything in an amenity kit.. I just collect them (or give them away) in their unsullied perfection. I love looking through them and can't bear to "mess them up".

How's that? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I just found this thread doing a search and thought it would be fun to resurrect again if that is okay...

I collect every possible soap, shampoo, conditioning body lotion from every possible hotel, club, you name it... Like Jay Leno, I have never used my own money to buy any of that stuff (well, I guess I did pay for the hotel and therefore indirectly...)

I did sit in first and buy a guy in coach a drink with the urging of my bosses... We were on the ground for 8 hours. I had gotten everyone from the partner to the light staff to the Tax Manager who just showed up from a different job with a diffent client in a different city upgraded to first. 6 accountants... A lot of alcohol...you do the math!

I did pick up a guy who I sat next to flying with my family to Spring Break. He gave me his card (he was in Marketing for a famous beer company...) I called him months later and we went out once...

I did fly 1000 miles for my first date with the wonderful man who is now my husband.

My husband flew 600 miles for our second date.

I flew 600 miles for our third...

I flew 1500 miles to meet his parents.

He flew 2000 miles to meet mine.

This could go one for a while...so I won't bore you!

We planned our wedding in a week.

I have only used points once in my life...for our UA / Hyatt Kauai Honeymoon. Since they were my husband's points, does that even count???

I have gotten lots of bottles of champagnes from FA's for being cute!

I have planned a DO in DEN.

I have been to a DO in PHX and met lots of fun people!!!

I have done a LHR mileage run (25 hours in LHR)

I am doing a SIN Run this Friday!!! (30 hours in SIN)

I have learned a lot since I joined FlyerTalk!!!

hmmm, MHC, cant go there, its a no win answer

Like Boulder, I have every shampoo, conditioner, body soap, lotion ever made, my gym bags are all full of them.

I once told my boss that I really needed to stay an extra week to get the bonus points at the hotel.

I once, okay more than once, told my boss that I had to fly a certain route b/c it was cheaper.. well it was.. but only by about five bucks

I have many a time made reservations saying I had a baby and a bassinet just to get the bulkhead row for a long flight. No I don't have a baby.. and no I didn't show up with one

I once flew 1200 miles just to go work out at a new gym that I read about, well maybe miles had something to do with it.

and finally when I first lurked before joining and posting to this board thought you all were insanely crazy.. now look at me

Would HUMILIATION be getting boo'd off a Karaoke Stage in Seattle before you even finish the first verse of Copacabana?

pointsgirl May 10, 2002 8:24 pm

Travel related...
I have never flown first class. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Not travel related...
I learned how to ride a bike when I was 21. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif

It could be... or it could be having having PeachesBB tell you about it the next day and not remembering getting up to sing that song in the first place! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

* I have never owned a cell phone
* I have never refused any food in first class even if I just ate. (What's up with those people who get on a dinner flight & say "Oh I'll just have the set up?").
* I have never listened to music on a plane

I have a friend who has never used his towel to wipe off the wash basin as a courtesy to the next passenger. I swear to God.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif Well, maybe it is because I never really traveled far while I was on the bike. Move two feet...fall. Move Another two feet...fall. It was really embarrassing to learn this at such a late age.
