Award travel SFO - JFK - Zurich - EWR - SFO in BF last summer, to nab the standard award the first leg was a Delta redeye, an airline I used to love. F was very, very lame.

Oh yeah, and doing the redeye thing two nights in a row isn't as easy at 50 as it was at 20, upgrade or no upgrade. In the pecking order of such things, there's youth (impossible to obtain except vicariously), then Ambien (easy to obtain) and only then, class of service. I had an Australian girlfriend a few years back, and in typical "That's not a knife, this is a knife" Aussie fashion, she was prescribed roofies for her trips to see me. She'd go into yoga position for 24 hours, and they could have moved her into cargo without her noticing.

We all obsess way too much about the front of the plane; what matters is I slept great in the Swiss alps.

LOL... I think its cool that you are 50 and know what roofies are. My friends and I used to take roofies in college. I would wake up the next afternoon and literally have zero recollection of what we did the previous night. Good times indeed. Now two glasses of wine at dinner is considered "pushing it".

:eek: Yikes! This is where the J.Edward is at! :o It's an interesting mix when I trade stories with friends - there's are always, "Man, I got someone to buy for us and got so f(*u@k#ing wasted, called Earl twice, totally lost my face, blacked out after my 14th drink, then woke up next to two chicks" while mine are along the lines of, "I found a really good Carbent Sauvignon last night! In fact, it was so good I had two glasses!". Them: "Wow J.Edward, you really let yourself go :rolleyes: " Me: "By golly I sure did! :o ".

Thank goodness we have laws to foster a mature, responsible, and anti-binge culture.
