All we ever see as prizes on the WWBTNFTMTP thread are some bottles of Cholula Hot Sauce, which is an informal (very informal) sponsor of lots of the nonsense going on over there and on some Community threads started by the DL crowd.

With the apparent more upscale nature of the clientele over here, I agree with andre1970 and think that some house like Jacquart should be persuaded to take interest in sponsoring and providing a prize. There is room to edit the Title of the thread to something like "The Jacquart Miles & More Forum Guessing Lounge - Champagne Drinkers Welcome".

Visualize the nonstop action as Europe finshes posting and the Eastern US picks up then California then Down Under as everybody is guessing and guessing, trying to win that prize.

Not just any kind of booze. This time it is the elegant Chardonnay-Pinot from the Northern regions that is holding our interest.

We figure (and I know I have more than one co-conspirator here) that we can get a head start on the RHE DO and stay out in front the entire time.

Arrow the jerk :D :D :D

Heck, if there is a bottle of champagne at stake, I'll play.

While it's been years since I've been on a Delta flight, it's only been a couple of weeks since I've been on a Lufthansa plane so I probably fit in here better anyway.

Now pass the gummi bears and chocolate covered puffed rice clusters.

Oh, and Andre1970, you were only a jerk for an hour -- you know -- till I learned that you were being considerate by not allowing someone else to take that seat next to me. Now if you can figure out how to get LH to give us the extra miles from the emergency landing, you will rise to become The Flying Master in my book.

This is hubris against TFM and I'm afraid that you did it on purpose in order to draw TFM's wrath down on me!!

There is little doubt here as to who put those words into Alysia's mouth. That cry for mercy is IMO likely completely bogus.

Too late - "The elusive flymaster" has been coined as of today.
Competition revives the business, I'd hope ...

While I did learn about The Flying Master term from andre1970, he did not put me up to posting this.
