Headset Coupons
I was on a flight to IAH last week and chatted with the FAs while I was waiting for the little boy's room. They were actually folding and ripping out all of the headset coupons from the printed pages that everyone gave to them. Given that this was a 752, there was a huge stack and it took two of them to plow through them. So, if you plan on using one of them in the future try cutting it out after you print it. I am sure your FAs will appreciate one less papercut!

I always cut mine up super neat - I'm anal like that. When I travel with my family and are stuck in the back, the look on a FAs face when I had her 5 to 8 (depends on who I'm with) is nothing but sure appreciation.

Seriously, if the already do not state it, the web developers should put in some verbiage that asks passengers to cut out the coupon rather than bring the entire sheet of paper.

1) I cannot believe you took the time out of your life to type this post.
2) I cannot believe I took the time out of my life to read and respond to this post.
Surely we must have a life we can go live.
I think the two of us should go out, have a few drinks and bang cocktail waitresses, two at a time. Sound like fun?
The heck with this clipping headset coupons so they can fit into envelopes.
Who are you anyway? Martha F-ing Stewart????

I have to say, I print my boarding passes all the time on CO. Once I get to the airport, I check a bag, and reprint my boarding passes. I actually hate those paper boarding passes and I've also had gate agents tell me they feel the same way. BUT~ I never think of cutting out the little coupon for the free headset to give to the FA. I either don't give it to her or I give the coupon to my neighbor. I have too many spare (I know~ I'm weird) headsets from CO at home ready to go. I am going to start cutting out those coupons!
Not us travel savy elites ^ ^
