I love travelling. I love seeing the city/destination also, but I get a thrill out of the travel part also. And as long as my kids are not with me, I even love it when things go wrong and there are delays.
I'm sure most people enjoy the travel too, if it's on premium cabins. My point was, just doing the travel itself, w/o exploring the destination, doesn't get lame after a while ?

And there are worse ways to make a living.

Personally, I'd rather be flying premium cabins than writing an appellate brief.

(Now you know why I try to spend as much time in the air as I can :P)

Who said I care about his sexuality?

And I'm reasonably sure that the UA portion has been whitewashed just a bit.
comment #6 here says that he would buy refundable and cancel if he wasn't bumped

Well, after Friday's decision, Mrs. AJK may in fact be a male

The consensus (though unconfirmed) seems to be that he was:
banned from united for manipulating the website to allow him to redeem the same voucher multiple times

Which would mean I'm lucky for not being banned from B6 ;)

And to make the whole thing seem a lot more nefarious than it really is.

Isn't that like really illegal? Like what the Chiu brothers did? Can't he technically sit in jail if they can prove he did that?

Maybe, but I'm sure it's past the statute of limitations by now anyways and I doubt they'd really pursue it

As are some other bloggers.

Hence the humor,

It's a very hard job to have when you have kids, so I guess it makes some sense.
