Crazy Trip
 
Hi Guys!

This was my trip to CeBIT Hannover. First I reedemed a free ticket with my miles, only 90k for a trip from SCL to FRA, but not a common trip:

Original Trip:

SCL-MIA-IAH-DFW-FRA
FRA-ORD-MIA-SCL

In recent weeks we really have seen a new generation of trip reporters bring insight and pleasure to us all on the board. ND76 and Mofomat in particular have impressed with their diligent attention to textual detail and impressive use of images. It's great to see JF10 raising the bar even higher with this report.

Not just a crazy trip but also a crazy report!

justforfun Mar 13, 2008 6:36 pm

I don't get it. Where's the report?

cstead Mar 13, 2008 10:52 pm

and a crazy thread to boot!!!!

civicmon Mar 13, 2008 11:00 pm

Epic stuff man. Can't wait for the details!

dunk Mar 14, 2008 5:15 am

Exemplary brevity ... none of those a.net epics here, thank you ;)

Maybe it's a guessing game ... hmmm ... OP flew AA, didn't eat, slept all the way, had no missed connections, no run-ins with TSA ... all baggage arrived on time ...

Are you still there?

Mofomat Mar 14, 2008 11:03 am

The thing is, the routing isn't even that crazy compared to some we have seen. :D

BlissWorld Mar 14, 2008 11:28 am

great pictures ^ :D

bschaff1 Mar 14, 2008 12:24 pm

This is by far the crazies routing and best trip report ever. Also, very concise and descriptive.

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this.:eek:

Fascinating and insightful. How was the line at customs?

Excellent attention to detail. How were the in-flight cocktails?

I wish all trip reports were this entertaining.

Wow. I just read this whole thread in one sitting. Step. Away. From. The. Computer.:eek:

Sarcasm is alive and well around the world
With no pics to bog down the wireless internet

Betty Swollocks Mar 16, 2008 12:44 pm

I love this trip report. It doesn't get bogged down in all the trivial stuff such as quality of seats and entertainment, and also the food. Keep them coming I say!

lucky9876coins Mar 16, 2008 1:30 pm

Welcome to FlyerTalk, Betty Swollocks, and nice first post!:D^

halothane Mar 16, 2008 2:11 pm

Very succinct. Good job! ^

Gatwick Alan Mar 16, 2008 6:16 pm

This thread has made me chuckle, makes me wonder if i'm waffling too much in my current trip thread !!

Moomba Mar 17, 2008 2:21 am

Come on guys give the OP a break.

He/she hasn't been around FT long enough to know that the routing posted is not crazy and in fact it is normal by FT standards :)

A crazy routing would be SCL-DFW-FRA-DFW-SCL :eek:

aajones Mar 19, 2008 12:36 pm

noob sauce.

No, you're doing just fine. ^

TrayflowInUK Mar 21, 2008 8:12 am

Come on folks, give him a break... JF10 only showed the itinerary from the original trip. See?

My guess is that the trip he actually took was just too crazy to post. I, for one, appreciate the restraint the OP has shown.

TEX277 Mar 21, 2008 9:47 am

This thread really does have it all: a delightful TR, many witty responses AND the finest handle ever to grace FT.

Welcome Betty Swollocks!!!! ^

My thoughts exactly! :D

Easily the best report I've ever read.

The OP's writing skills shouldn't be confined to Flyertalk. He is clearly destined to become a great writer. The following is only a local newspaper, but I am certain they would appreciate his insights. ^
