FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Mine places a greater emphasis on hotel points. I wouldn't be surprised if her miles end up going toward Series 1 upgrades for us at some point because she takes a value-based approach and would rather pay for air in order to go someplace where the hotel is free, and presumably the hotel is the larger of the two expenses.

I handle all the hotel points. She has an HHonors account with about 5K points in it. It's cute.

In a related item, Hell will by some odd consequence freeze over at the exact same moment that we book SYD tickets.

So true, so true.

I get that all the time. And the thought of "meeting" me somewhere doesn't go over well either.

Yeah, it's sad... i have to keep reminding myself my miles just don't go as far.

And you could not try to hit on the clearly underage bar skanks at Whataburger in the middle of the night, but we don't always get what we want. ;)

This is key. Perhaps I need to get her pregnant. Once there's a brood on the way, we can't all be on the same aircraft at the same time. Must think of the children. :rolleyes:

I made the mistake of posting my LH & TG F pix on Flickr. Her only Int'l F experience to date had been a :rolleyes: experience on UA. She now knows that there are non-:rolleyes: airlines out there offering F. I need to get some NH F in before the hammer drops.

And US + AZ are just given a bad rap, they really aren't that bad.

The 737 will be ^. The 767 will be seriously :rolleyes: (think old-school OK A310 J seats).

Their 777-200 Seat is quite nice, though.

It is better than sitting in the back , and at least I will get EQMs
the other option was Copa , and I did not want to try a 737 all the way to EZE

I heard the 767 was getting upgraded, I have no idea if they have started to retrofit them or if it was just nonsense .
