Nice job on the upgrade.

Class of service bonuses perhaps?

You also reached the 90,000 Post Milestone. Anyone still keeping track?

They add up.

I had a boss in the 50's who was a MM on AA. All those miles BIS on prop AC - so much time. Fancy Certificates & lots of little souvenirs.

Hey Delta people, I'm not having much luck tracking down this info. Can I guy a SIM card airside at ATL (other than the ripoff Airport Wireless one)? I thought I saw a post someplace that Simple Mobile has kiosks in some of the concourses, but can't find it now.

Thanks if you can help!

Also I am soooo lookin forward to Popeyes. It's been years.

I remember when you unceremoniously grabbed that job from me.

And now you're looking to offload it.

Mrs. DTW just got off her flight home today. She was in 4A on the Embraer (the one-seat row), but when she boarded an older man was getting himself settled in her seat. So she nicely told him that was her seat, and he got up and moved across the aisle to 3C. Two minutes later the rightful occupant of 3C came onboard and the same conversation ensued. Turned out the guy's actual seat was 4D -- guess he figured a boarding pass is just nothing more than a recommendation...

Seat poachers -- they're out there so let's be vigilant, everyone!

Just inn CVG Skyclub right now. Starting the weekend with a flight to SLC. In F and dinner is provided as well as a few beverages. Have an overnight in SLC at the Hilton Garden Inn by the airport.

The Gin in CVG Skyclub is Bombay not Bombay Sapphire. The beer is the local Mt Carmel IPA- lovely. I assume kipper would either approve or has already sampled it.

The soup BTW is an amazing Thai Chicken and rice. Just the right amount of spice that does not overwhelm -lovely. My pre-dinner snack you might say -booked for an A320.

I enjoyed that soup earlier this month at LGA, ATL and MSY.
