I just cancelled mine. I decided I had no interest in flying on AF that much so I bailed. Now, had I gotten on the SQ 380....

Bloc D' Rolleyes appears to be falling apart and needs some shoring up.

Anyone with an Asian hub interested in joining an alliance? Free lounge access for your frequent flyers, and an incredible US network accessible on UniCon's transatlantic 737 fleet with all coach seating and a luxurious 28 inches of seat pitch. We also run ATRs on flights under 7 hours in duration.

Alliance hubs also available in Amsterdam, Mexico City, and London Heathrow.

ALCO's epic failure part V
 
We left the coffee shop on one of the main drags of Amsterdam. I got some fries from a stand. XYZZY said he would have a couple, more like 1/3rd of the bunch. We then went to the "smallest pub in Amsterdam" just off of Dam square. There ALCO and his British friends left us FTrs in the bar and disappeared.

Now my stuff was in ALCO's room. This was fine except for no ALCO. However, Rolov allowed me to stay in his place that night. The next morning Rolov and I headed to the Liedensplain at around 1pm and stopped at a cafe for lunch. The view of the canal was great, but the waitress was smoking hot. She leaned over me to clean up the table, damn. (Being a guy is decidedly great sometimes). She was blond and dutch. I think I am in love......The food was pretty good, I had a sandwich, while Rolov had a tostie and some soup.

We then headed to the Marriott to meet up with the rest of the FT crew. We all went to the dutch museum. ALCO finally showed his face to the world, and after the museum decided to go back to bed.

If ConciergeMike is Richard Anderson, this would be Ben Baldanza.

Can you add a fee for purchasing a ticket, regardless of the sales channel?

ALCO then removes his hand from the button and the light turns off. ALCO then looks at the menu which is now dark. He repeats this process several times and says, "what is wrong with the menu???"

Word of advice you have to hold the switch and read the menu at the same time.

FWIW, that was as hilarious in person as it sounds. The menu light went on and off a few times. As we got to this establishment, the coffee shop part (located in the basement) was in the process of closing. While ALCO was trying to peruse the menu, The guy at the bar said, "Sorry -- the bar is closed now but we still have drugs." So they would sell drugs but not water/juice/coffee. :rolleyes: ... only in Amsterdam.
