I think I mentioned this while talking about IAH-LAX-LHR-JNB and some folks thought I was crazy.

I told someone at work that that was my plan and this "seasoned" traveler thought it was a stupid idea. His reply was "that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, I just want to get there. If they'd let us fly Business we wouldn't have this problem" :rolleyes:

I used to take something upon boarding a trans-atlantic flight but stopped after the trip when I fell asleep during boarding, and woke up to find everyone getting off the plane. Thinking I was in FRA and had slept through everything I gathered my belongings and started towards what I thought was immigration.

Yadda yadda yadda I remember thinking that we most have come into the elusive "Terminal 3" at FRA because I was very disoriented. I felt like I was walking through a dense fog of confusion.

After trying to speak German to the Mexican at the coffee stand in the terminal and getting a :confused: in reply it dawned on me that I was still at JFK. Apparently our flight went mechanical during taxi.

What a keruffle.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while. ^

In your situation, I don't think I would have done anything else. Even in J, I'd pick the routing with the most amount of sleep time.

I was all ready to book IAH-YYC-FRA-LIS-JNB-CPT-JNB-LIS-EWR-ORD-IAH a few months back. I think the Significant Otter would have killed me by the time we arrived in CPT.

I finally cleaned out the pocket of my QC2 case the other day so mine are up for grabs as well. :)

For some reason I keep an electronic copy of every boarding pass as well. :confused:

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that routing? :)

Going out of LAX, not so bad. Going into LAX, avoid like the plague. I'd rather connect in SFO.

Have you tried to sell them on ebay ?

Just noticed that COFlyerCLE and I have LFM balances that are within only a few K of each other. 631,533 here, until I can rack up some more for the BRU DO.

We might need to discuss bringing you into the rolov, belynch joke sharing agreement.
