Haha. Another post that could be devoid of emoticons and held up as heroism in the UA forum. I remember reading the posts of one certain smelly cheesebag of a guy who said that UA should never do op-ups, unless he gets one. And he was deadly serious.

I'm already doing KQ on BKK-NBO-JNB. Assuming, of course, that Americans aren't barred from traveling altogether due to Teh Pig Flu.

As a pig owner I would prefer you refer to it as H1N1
thanks.

I have a cache on non-expiring beverage coupons on (SkyTeam partner) from the mid-1990's that ameliorates that problem.

Being a vodka guy, and having complained about such at the Do, I have to agree. I'm only drinking on coupons because I did not have a positive cocktail experience on the party flight. I know the answer to my complaint turned out to be the concentrated crap cranberry juice, as I think was discussed here. But that juice ruined the initial taste of the cocktail, and such a drink isn't worth $5 in real cash. I'll have to investigate the juices available in the airport the next time I plan on drinking while flying, because if I can procure better mixers while airside, I'll use my coupons just for the mini.

There's a thread about some FT'ers who pack their 3-1-1 bags with minis and surreptitiously serve themselves ... Could be done quite easily in an airside restroom with a water bottle (and make the gate area a little more tolerable). A little brazen for my taste but YMMV.

I am reporting you to Dept. of Homeland :rolleyes:. You should be quarantined.

Poop. I can do Red October, Godfather, and Copacabana...but I don't know the FA lines well enough to be in on this.

You didn't think I was serious. I was dead serious. Apparently even CO agrees I shouldn't fly them in Y. Last two times I was going to be stuck in Y CO shipped me over to DL to fly them in Y and rebooked me in a full Y ticket so I got bonus EQMs. So yes, even apparently the CO agents at ATL don't think I should ever fly them unless it's in F or an exit row on regional equipment.

I would consider this if I ever found myself on Gulf Air, Egyptian, etc., for a long flight. Would have to dispose of the minis in the lav trash, I guess, to avoid :rolleyes: at customs in alcohol verboten countries.

Or there's always the :rolleyes:v solution - get minis past TSA and undercut the FA's by distributing willy-nilly.

Got to be the CRJ.

Given your upgrade numbers I can't help but agree. Your job might drive you up a wall, but getting to and from it you seem to do in some pretty good style.

[QUOTE=sdm1130;11665036]What's going on here - is The Box turning in to a real thread or something!?

Oh afternoon box. What a :( morning. I forgot to take allergy pills yesterday and I woke up feeling like microwaved sh!* and I'm sure I looked like to.

Ding ding ding. Three kinds of CRJ...regular hell, along with hell-ER and the ever-feared hell-LR.
