Wow- I hope this post is a joke. If not, why stop at headphones? Why not sell gin and tonics? Your meal? I feel bad for you.

I'm not buying this thread. I think he's trying to rile everyone up.
Let us know how it goes, buddy!

For Continental only alcohol served by flight attendants can be consumed. On Japan Airlines I can take my own bottle of Whiskey and drink it but then again no need because they don't charge $6 for a 50 cent can of beer.
I carry my own headphones with me. When I get an upgrade on a flight without direct TV i would like to sell my continental supplied headphones to the Y class passengers. Do you think i would have a problem with the flight attendants if i walk down the isle and try to sell my headphones and accept cash for them in the 'cash less' cabins?[/QUOTE

This board can be useful, but needs a little more absurdity like this question.

You can also go to a strip club in Vegas and pay $10 for a beer.
Or a bar in Hoboken and pay $8 for a beer.

Well, today is 4/20. I suppose such irrational posts can be an expected consequence of a drug-induced haze...

Fritz vs. the Volcano
I sat next to a German national the other day (in whY) who ordered a beer not realizing that CO is a "cash free airline" (I love how that sounds). He hemmed and hawed because the international transaction fee on this card was going to make that $6 beer close to $10 and the FA was getting antsy because they had already opened the beer.
I felt bad for the guy (I guessed he was flying around trying to get back to DE because of the volcano) and gave him one of my CO currency coupons. He offered to give me $6 (cash), which I declined.
But, for all enterprising whY fliers -- there might be a business venture there.

The price for the past few years was only $1.00. Not sure why they raised the price.

Why don't you just sell your upgrade for $100?
