Great blog to read!
Thanks for the post.
Now... I wonder what happened to Blonde after going on the tarmac?

This article is what pointed me to FT...
...and this is my first post.
Anyway, the article's author finished her log over the weekend and now there's a link to it from MSN's home page as "Slate: Taking advantage of an airfare goof." It was the first thing I saw this morning and I'm sure a lot of people have been reading it all day.

On the return, I walked with her though passport control. The agent, who remembered her from a few days prior, started laughing the moment he saw her and kept laughing for a couple of minutes.
She was the star of the trip.

Meanwhile, in a true showing of the FT spirit, the Slate author managed to get bumped on her trip back to the US, and received (a) a routing through MSP to visit family ^ and (b) a free ticket to anywhere IcelandAir flies. ^

Can you believe that? A bump, free ticket, free trip, upgrade.
What more can you ask for a $61 fare to Iceland?
