EliteAccess carpets for sale?

I remember a year or so ago an FT'er had EliteAccess carpets up for sale. Didn't see them on the CO company store site. What are the chances of nabbing one of these before we're UNITED?

Depends on how fast you can run from Gate 36 to your car.

Me too, I had discussions with the Miss USA18DCA to install an Elite Access Carpet in the Bathroom as a pun and send the lowly non-statused people to the other bathroom that was cramped when we have our own place to call home.

In MEX, we arrived at the terminal during boarding for an IAH flight. Our flight to EWR was leaving from another gate at the other end of the terminal. To my dismay, the EWR gate was shared with Delta, and only had Sky Priority signs posted.

Fortunately, after the IAH flight departed, a small procession of CO employees marched down the terminal, EliteAccess sign and Blue Carpet in hand, and triumphantly unrolled it at the EWR gate. ^

When I saw that for the first time myself I laughed.

I Have Two

I have two available (the skinny one used by the RJ gates and the larger one used by mainline gates), although their value has increased considerably since they'll be going out of style soon. You can send me a private message if you're interested.

Los conquistadores de "Continental Airlines." I do appreciate the extra attention to all things ejecutiva in Latin America.

I want some of the glasses used in first class with the frosted "Continental Airlines" on them. Any chance of snagging some of those?

Don't we all?

I have one of the mainline Elite Access carpets, but I don't think someone could pay me enough to part with it!
