FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Marriott has nursing homes/assisted living; I need to find out the point structure on those because I think if they time comes, that would be a good a good place for mom and dad.

My grandmother's development north of FLL has one of those Marriott-run properties. If the assisted living part isn't a requirement, there's always the model of the retired Hilton for life guy. There's also a few women (no men that I've heard about, anyway) who have chosen to retire onto a cruise ship.

When he is done dealing with it, I'm sure he'll post the results...I'd imagine a refund or a juicy voucher are involved somehow.

Apparently Africa is universally hated by flight crews to the point where delta has to offer hazzard pay.

Hazard pay is usually where the fun is. I turned wrenches on missiles in Saudi and Qatar - loved it.

My Tivo went :rolleyes: and re-set this past week, apparently erasing the season-pass for LOST. Have to wait until tonight to watch last night's episode online. :mad:

You'll want to watch it a couple of times. There are interesting things going on in the background....:confused:

Meant to post this earlier -- one of my SYD-SFO flights got in late and I missconnected to my HNL leg. Went to the RCC to ask for a $7 food voucher (wanted a cup of soup) and they said no but urged me to call the 1k desk.

Call the 1k desk, told me I needed to do it at the airport but as a goodwill gesture they sent me a $350 ecert.

A $350 voucher and all I wanted was $7 for a cup of soup.

Not sure if I should hate or love UA.

That would depend entirely if you're a stockholder or not.
