Evening, Box.


So long as I have continued complimentary access to Extra Big Black Disco Stick Room Seats (EBBDSRS), Continental is still in my good graces.

Right now, I'm chatting w/ a frequent traveler friend, who flies almost entirely within US & Can. We're both CO Elites, but our value systems on FF benefits are so different, and the convo is fascinating. My friend cares much more about upgrades and boarding first, while not giving a rat's *ss about the Star Alliance or lounges. OTOH, I use Star partners without a second thought and my travel "Gym-Tan-Laundry" is lounge - flight - lounge.

not a stoopid question, write it however you please, we alternate spellings.

As long as you spell Aeropron properly.

Fixed it.

I like a good combo of it all myself, upgrades, boarding when I will like it and cutting past people as I do, and Star A....good stuff :)

My "teh"s often are a result of drunken posting.

Don't get me wrong, I like complimentary upgrades like a good COer should. But honestly, it's not the most valuable elite benefit for me because roughly 90% of my travel is intercontinental and thus EUAs don't apply.

And most of mine is domestic, many times needing an extra bag for electronic goodies, so as I have in my sig line, it stands :) In this case the same airline for both of us, for different reasons.

Of my 33 flights so far this year, only five of them were CO flights that were EUA eligible.

But we all here in teh box know you are a mentally deranged flying fool, and you manage to survive the encounters each weekend.


(I am stealing your own words used recently in dreadforumPR)

Of my 26 flights this year, 8 were eligible. I received the EUA on 7 of them. I only missed on the SEA-EWR redeye. And I was nowhere close on that one.

Nice. I'm 2/5 at the moment, but hoping to make up some ground on IAH-MSY and IAH-LIM segments.

Which OmniPoor thread did I post that in? I recall being drunk in there at some point the other day. :D

I was calm. The other one was flipping out.

I did fly CO, to SFO. Apparently 2 hours and 10 minutes was not enough time for CO to transfer my bag to UA. I didn’t seem to have a problem making the flight and I got on the wrong AirTrain to the rental car facility.

I know..... We had some liquids that needed to be checked.

I will demand a gazillion miles.

You know what annoyed me with UA BS? We waited for out bags to come off the carousel and obviously they did not. When I went to the UA BS office, they had my paperwork all filled out and waiting for me. Why didn’t they just call us first instead of making us wait 25 minutes? :rolleyes:
