In fact, Crazyhotelguy did such an exceptional job of researching that link and looking after the FT family, I think I'm going to start a new thread to thank him.

If Christmas wishes came true...
.....I'd be very surprised and extremely delighted if I saw a Porsche outside the plane window when we pulled into the gate. Don't think I've seen domestic connections enjoying this perk unless they were tight. 
We're in the air now traveling SDF to LGA via the ATL. Oh well, at least we may have time for a Chik-Fil-A stop at A10. Arriving in T and leaving from B, so it's "on the way."

It was a very pleasant surprise. ATL was very busy, but most importantly, Mrs. JPCAG does not travel very much and was quite stressed. The little trip around the tarmac and to our gate made her very happy.

Got the treatment today! Nice! Apparently there are eight porsches that are being driven about by four folks from Premier (or Elite) Customer Support Team. The initial term with Porsche is one year. Also asked about possibility of Meet and Greet in ATL and was told to expect it when new terminal opens up.

I got the Porsche experience yesterday upon arrival into ATL. Was a nice surprise to see the man standing in the jetway holding a sign with my name on it. I didn't see the Porsche when we pulled into the gate as I was in 2C. Very cool experience, I could get used to this! ^

I've got a connecting flight in ATL on 1/17. Should be arriving into A or B concourse and departing out of E. I'm a prime candidate for my 2nd porche pick-up
