Does DL have martini glasses on board, or did he bring his own ?

That's my question - I must not fly the right carriers (or in the right class on the right carriers) for I have never seen a proper martini glass on board.

And his own white leather seats.

Notice the white leather seat and clean black carpet: that's Virgin America @:-)

What's up with this photo??


http://www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/01/07/frequent.flier.programs/index.html

I may drive 4 hours to go STL-ATL-DTW-MSP-BIS-SLC-LAX-SYD for double miles, but I wear sweatpants instead of a suit in BE, I leave my sunglasses at home, and I don't twirl a pin while I drink my dirty martini. :)

Stock photo fail.
Couldn't squeeze in JFK? Although BIS is impressive.

BIS has to be one of the smaller airports where you can actually connect through on DL (not returning to the airport you came from). Doing a turnaround at JMS would be impressive, but would require flying on the Saab and stopping in DVL on the way back to MSP.

Add to this list DTW-ESC-IMT-MSP on the Saab

Ooh. That would be "fun", and you'd be making progress from one location to another at least! Don't know that I'd want to spend 4:41 in a Saab for a measly 1500 MQM, however.

But if it's a miserable trip, when it's over you can tell Saab Stories.

-1. I happen to like the tie.

You guys got me beat on the connection city. I thought

BUF-JFK-CMH-DTW-MSP-LAX was good - not too many connect in CMH .... my bag made it the entire way (though my business partner's bag who was flying with me didn't - he showed up to a meeting with Toyota, of all companies, in a ripped AC/DC t-shirt.)

I had a nice one last year.
ORD-MEM-BNA-MSP-CDG-PSA, return PSA-CDG-SLC-BNA-ATL-ORD
50k rdm's 25k mqm's I used a voucher so out-of-pocket it cost $650.00.
Not quite a mileage run, since it was a business trip.

That was probably a very effective move; they probably thought AC/DC was a reference to their advanced hybrid technology.

No.

Ugh, one of my pet peeves! Folks who wear sweat pants (esp. in BE) belong in Cargo. You are out in PUBLIC, not lounging around at home. This one is second only to those folks who put their feet up on the bulkhead wall. Who raised you people?!?! LOL

:D
