And a DDF'er who found the deal through DD was the only person featured in the WSJ article though the article failed to make any note of that.

Good times, looking forward to E's report once he gets over the jetlag!

Perhaps, though there's also much to be said for staying under the radar.

Sorry but honesty is honesty, I'll have to -1. JN was 1st.

JN said,
Checked in and soon to board. Honored.

On he plane . Very nice first class there is a desperate bed and seat only 3 seats are taken should be a nice flight!

ETA- JN never posted again after that. So not sure what his deal is or if he is real. E many of us know and he is definitely the first to receive a full round trip first class ticket to HKG courtesy of United :))

Why would anyone do that?
You'd have to be crazy to call about your ticket at this point, even just to add an infant.

What if the ticket was confirmed and not ticketed? Worth playing around with them to see what they'll offer? After all, the odds of being ticketed are kinda slim.

The person who files a complain with the DOT (or AG, SCC) is a P I G.


(we are not that innocent blonde dumb child, we all knew well what's going on, and this is a glitch which will most likely not be honored. In case they honor it, than good, that's why we're all here, to grab the world for free, but if not, t'was a good try an a lot of fun, but, please, don't act piggish).

Let's just hope that for the sake of the Tribe, it doesn't go viral.  :)

And I'm revising my estimates.
2,850 comments, and 34,000 page views.
And if it's honored, then I double the number of page views.

Maybe he's expecting the chicken breast in his Thigh meal :D

Reminds me of the famous saying: "don't give up your day job"
