FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I wish I'd booked more than one of those tix!

Not likely to show up this weekend, unfortunately. I think we will have to wait until Christmas day. :(

LAX will have constant showings if anyone wants to come out. Our 3 FT'er event was really fun -- one Boxer, one Talkboard member and one hack+1 (Lisa and me).

I've always found just bringing something TBD to pot-lucks at work is a good thing. Last week I brought Dunkin Donuts up to MSP from Chicago for one.

So many people putting TBD is what got me in trouble for this week and me w/o cash has to make chili. I've already scoured the circulars to find out who has the cheapest ingredients.

I was under entree though because just about everyone at the office likes my cooking sensibilities. And my boss happens to be doing the pumpkin loaf.

Darn guy! :cool:

I do too. Unfortunately, I had to go to an off-site that day at work and was having difficulty booking these trips on my Blackberry :rolleyes:

I was sitting in the PC at SAT when I logged into the Box and saw the gossip about it.

I whizzed off to the UA website, and managed to book one. Got a second under way and it bombed on me, and then when I went back to re-do it the fare had been pulled. :(

Let me know too. My sister might be interested in it too. (might be the side effect from meeting so many from the Box)

Absolutely! The more the merrier! If we have to wait until Christmas, that works for me. Being Jewish, my typical Christmas is Chinese food and movie anyway.

I think it was Dave Attell who said: "Jews are the chosen people.....except in gym class....then we're the last-chosen people"

I think I'm somewhere in the region of 600,000, so a good ways to go for me yet before I reach 1MM

I believe I'll be just over 900K at the end of this year, so should hit MM around May (Will have at least 2 trips to China by then and plan on taking BL JR to CDG for Spring Break).

I remember missing out on the NRT B fare last January. I was sequestered in SAT at a client gig and wasn't able to get onto the internet for two days. During which time, of course, the fare came and went. Boy, I was sooooooo ticked at missing that one!

Can you be any more stereotypical?

Yeah...I was a mistaken fool back then and was too entrenched in DL-land. Fortunately I've since seen the light (and read about sbm12's taking advantage of said fare on his blog).

I still regret not jumping on that.

Damn my short trips and domestic work territory!!

According to FM, my average flight is less than 500 miles :rolleyes:
