How to identify if one is a true idiot, or a false idiot:
(from true life recently, me wondering what to do with an expiring upgrade voucher)
Me calling a potential idiot: ”i will have an expiring longhaul voucher of no use, do you wanna fly business?”
Idiot: ”yeee we spoke about that trip plan but I dont know if I wanna go or not”
Then next, me calling a flyertalkeridiot: (same question as above)
FTidiot: ”guess I need to start booking something then”😂
True or false is too easy here. But to guess who flyertalker this was: not too difficult to guess that either😁😁 but I keep it to myself.

Last night, I had a dream about the Plat Wing, and I hope it's not a premonition 
Outside the dining area, all seats were substituted by dark red leather benches with a diagonal leaning area instead of a proper sitting cushion so people would spend less time in the lounge.
On entering, you got a numbered ticket and the roped-off dining area was guarded and they were shouting numbers like at McD. I hadn't got a ticket and entered anyway, and the server warned me that if I don't present the ticket after the meal, there will be a "recovery fee". He actually explained that in English and used this term; he explained it to me and an Indian lady at the same time.
Sadly, I woke up before I could have anything to eat.

AY‘s message after the last flight made me smile
Dear Jainzar , Several bags were left behind from your flight AY1411 Helsinki - Frankfurt due to weather related challenges in ground handling at Munich Airport. We are sorry for the incovenience.

This knowledge has completely evaded me until now: you can request a comb, mouthwash and a razor on LH flights in J. Just learned this from a Customer Community survey. Does AY have an extremely small stock of these items because I've never been told of this possibility...

Travel related, somewhat aviation related:
Got spammed by Autoliitto(was customer one time), and they seem to have introduced a new 3rd level, premium. Including a priority pass! Lol.
But seriously, the bennies are worth a thought IMO. Not that I would jump in for the PP
Back then, I was happy customer.

4 visits to PP lounges for under 200€ all in is not terrible if one needs triple A anyways IMO and one does not have PP via AX
