You gotta fly with us sometime, JJJ! We'll invite George Clooney along too, just like last time!

Haha. Don't forget to put the amenity kits on eBay. I was shocked to find out people pay very good money for this stuff :)

I just sold a couple LH F Rimowa kits for 120$ a piece! Some people have too much money...

Wow, indeed, people always surprise people

I think EVA Rimowa kits go around for $40-$50 on eBay

We could use the proceeds to offset the YQ :)

Yeah ... some people try to grab extra ones just precisely for that reason. I think it's a bit lacking in class to be honest (taking extras to resell, not reselling in general, though I think BUYING is extremely lame), but hey, everyone has their thing. :p

Since we are getting close to the end of November, I decided to contact GCR on the status of MBNA reporting for the AS card. Here is there response:

"Unfortunately, they won’t tell us until the day before. If they give us a date and we announce it then they are late it will not look good. The thing with software is there are always delays. Originally they told us November and they have not updated a date."

I do like them as souvenirs of trips but I would never pay for one otherwise... I wonder if the people who buy them actually use the little toothpastes and lip balms that come in them? :)

As I'm leaving a plane, I grab whatever I see left on seats. It's extremely petty and kinda gross, but I don't care, I'm cheap and need $$!

I think you have reached new levels of travel hacking haha. I got the perfect title for your next blog post: "How to pay for your next flight while exiting your current business class flight" :p

+1, I try to collect everything that I can, although since we usually travel 3 at a time, at some point it gets silly. I was surprised to see what LH F pyjamas are worth, same for EK F stuff. I tend to use toothpaste from them on flights, as well as various random trinkets (socks and the like), but now that I have discovered how vain people are, I might just keep some of our next ones unopened. TG F and NH F, here we go :P

I like the Emirates amenity kits best of any. They are real leather and have Bulgari stuff!

Definitely cheap plastic crap - my F EK kit died quickly.
