Anyone know if it's permissible to open the emergency exit to toss a screaming kid out?

Not after takeoff. And the point of the trip was to take the kids to grandpa/ma, so an ejection would serve no purpose.

And how about ejecting the "stressful" trip's planner?

And perhaps more such realization:

How long until you're compelled by the other parent to do family trips using tourist package charter flights? Screaming kids, fighting kids, and accidental/uncontrolled knocks may have more of a home on those flights than on Star Alliance carrier flights.

The 'other parent' appreciates lounges and C/F travel, so no worries.

I'm curious how (according her blog) she obtained Mlife Nior by simply 'attending an event' a long time ago. I have read forums where some serious rollers with over 4M tier credits haven't be 'invited'.

Keep in mind that MGM Resorts wants to gradually transition mLife into more of a true rewards program (first evidence is the branded credit card).

It could be as simple as someone at mLife identified certain bloggers as being potentially very helpful in the plans, and extended "professional courtesies".

That would be my guess. A Comp to the highest level in return for an "influencer" influencing.

I guess...she is really that influential? I only heard of her a couple of weeks ago.

I don't think so and apparently the influencer market is BS

In and of herself, maybe not super-influential. But it can be a numbers game, and there a LOT of sheep-people out there who blindy follow.

It was given to a bunch of the more prominent Hyatt fans. She was not alone.

And in this case, it didn't really work in MLife's favor according to her trip report, given her sharing her experience of the complimentary limo not showing up and the suite not being cleaned when they first came in. While these are legitimate complaints, it's clearly not good PR especially in regards of what is suppose to be a super elite and exclusive membership.

No doubt, but in reality it's going to be the 'whales' and folks who already have a relationship with their casino host that get the invite.

Am I the only one who finds it odd? I know that Mlife were pretty much doing status matches with Hyatt passport- but all the charts have it ending at Diamond-Platinum.

Have either ever mentioned it? I read a blog from Lucky about messing up the $20 trick in a blog and it didn't come up.
