It was and most of them still are. There is one or two specific ones that are being allowed. I'm guessing they are not as potent as the "real" stuff.

Good use for DL's in-flight Wi-Fi: Going online and seeing that you've been protected on the next flight to your destination, since there's a 99.999999% chance you'll miss your connection. And selecting a prime exit row aisle seat on that flight, so you won't be stuck in a craptacular window seat on the CRJ.

This is what a guy who is too lazy to cook looks like...remove ground beef from freezer and Zatarain's box from pantry.

Don’t be surprised if you see a Green Fairy on board your next Virgin America flight.

Virgin America is delighted to be the first Airline to offer Absinthe in-flight.

Le Tourment Vert authentic French absinthe is now available on all Virgin America flights. Try our Mile High Cocktail, a Tourmenting and satisfying blend of Le Tourment Vert Absinthe, sprite and lemons shaken and served over ice. Bon Voyage!

Visit Le Tourment Vert for inspiring absinthe cocktail recipes.

do they have sugar cubes, a spoon, and torch to melt the sugar on the plane too? :D

It was. But as of 2007 it's once again legal.

Fozz is correct. It works sort of like the proof system in Oklahoma. Under 10ppm of the chemical in wormwood is ^, more than that is :td:.

I flew in there a few years ago and the line was forever. Finally, after a couple hours, the US line started moving. I finally got to the officer and he looked at me, my passport, and said: "Okay, honor code. Are you belynch?"

I said "yes'r."

And he said, "okay, works for me."

I asked what was up and he told me the computers were down, so they were doing "visual inspections" for people claiming US citizenship. :eek:

I do like that Go Go has enough bandwidth to perfectly stream Pandora over my browser. ^ I'm getting to relive some of the music from last night's INCREDIBLE Leonard Cohen concert in Minneapolis through a custom Pandora station I built and am now listening to.

Still think you spent too much for this? ;)

In a way, yes. But it has made the flight fly by, no pun intended. And it probably was worth $10 to get one of the two slightly decent seats on that CRJ.

For those of you who are curious, you can see me on Flight Aware. DL 1904. Currently over central Ohio. Just started my descent into DTW.

Rolov has spoken and said I'm a voice in the sky. I feel like God now. :D
