Odds that my Aeroflot flights will post to my OnePass account? What's the Vegas Line? If yes, over-under for timeframe? :D

Necessary Disclaimer - SkyTeam ElitePlus status did show on my SU BPs.

Great way to kill 30 min. Phenomenal piece of writing.

After about a month of waiting, I had to send in the boarding passes for my SU flights. Good luck!

What did you think of the wonderful Tu-154? Did yours have wood trim on the overheads? Wood carvings hanging on the bulkheads?

Odds of posting w/o Otterian intervention - 10:1. Over/under on timeframe: I say take 3 months at the over.

Optimism in the airline industry. What a cute concept. :)

but this is my adventure over the weekend:

YYZ thursday noon car picks me up from a meeting and takes me to airport,
gives me 2 bags of marshmellows that my mom had requested I bring to Argentina.
YYZ-IAH - on a XJ 145 (Lie flat seats were not really working)
IAH-EZE - as i posted before IFE not so good.
Fri AM at EZE and waited a good hour to even get into the immigration room.
Clear customs , they ask about the marshmellows, I tried to explain what they were, and they said ok ok . ( Last year my mom made me bring a fondue machine)
after clearing customs I meet the driver who will take me to AEP ( B Aires Domestic Airport) He tells me , " When i picked your mom up yesterday we stopped at a shoe outlet and they gave her the wrong size , we have to pick up the correct size" ( 1 hour travel time out of the way)
AEP - I finally get to the airport , I get my bag wrapped in plastic so no one steals the marshmellows :D , when i check in with AR , they tell me I have no ticket only a reservation.
After getting the agents to finally issue my ticket , the baggage tag jams the machine and the bp will not print.
I board the flight , even got an upgrade to domestic F on AR,
AEP-CNQ (Corrientes City ) I arrive and there was someone waiting to pick me up . He explains to me that the local police has shut down the bridge that connects where we are to my final destination.
By shutting down the bridge ,he meant "they chained themselves together and will not let anyone or anything pass and they have guns "

So the solution was for us to drive to a boat dock where they had arranged for me to cross the river via boat.
Once I got on the boat after having to step in the water since the dock was floating , we left for the other side where my uncle was waiting with a car.
3 minutes after leaving the dock , the boat engine shut down and we started floating down the river.
We managed to figure out the fuel line had come off and I used the plastic wrap from my bag to secure the fuel line and held it in place for the rest of the crossing.
I made it to my grandmother's bday that night and the next day flew back to AEP at noon , this time from RES ( on the other side of the river ) They alternate flight days , thats why I could not fly there to begin with.

Then spent sat afternoon and sunday in Buenos Aires and flew home sunday night.

Sounds like fun.

Two drinks at first event that we're both at if you're right.

ETA: Otter needs to post clarification on flight date, etc. And for me, 2 weeks = 14 days.

You do realize that I have no basis for my belief in the two weeks right?

Speaking about over under, if one were to go over to the newsstand they would discover that AIM has suspended trading on Silverjet shares, as Silverjet has been unable to obtain future financing.

Over under two weeks before Silverjet suspends flying as well as trading.

Yes and yes. My offer of alcohol is completely tied to your baseless belief in the correct inner workings of OnePass partner operations.

Re: Silverjet, I'll take the under.

Betting with alcohol over the internet. This thread has evolved into potential infringement of multiple Federal laws now, I see. :D

I cannot believe L'avion is still operating.
