As a human, I find this offensive.
It really is a disgusting term.

Not bashing ajk, just the person who came up with this is a real....

$1250 in base fare.

... To get mosaic and 90k?

Had to travel for work anyway.
I spent over $1250, but I got just a bit more than 90k.

I checked in a dozen pieces at JFK (where there's no conveyor belt by the mosaic check in counter) the other day. The look on the desk agents face when I told her how much I was checking in was pretty funny.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

A dozen pieces for one person?

The one hiccup was that I got booted fro pre-check when I realized I left my DL at home.  After looking at other forms of ID, they put me in regular screening, and then additional screening. Gosh I hate regular screening, and I can't remember if I've ever had to go through "additional" before, but, wow, is it irritating. Pat down, laptop swipe, shoes swipe, open bag swipe.

Screw you, OBL.

At least you'll know what to expect for the way back.

What a difference a day (and some confidence/acting like you belong) makes.

Unlike yesterday, I didn't only realize I left my license at home in front of TSA, thereby bringing to his attention I didn't have my DL. Today, I simply said, "good morning," and handed him my federal court and new york state court IDs (each has a picture) with a "doing OK, today?"

He said, "yes," looked at the IDs, put them under UV light, and said have a nice flight.

MCO-EWR oversold by 3 or 4.

Offered to take the last seat in F on an AA flight a couple hours later and $500, but she couldn't book it in F, but because "I tried to help," she op-upped me to F.

I'll take it, and let someone else fly back tomorrow (first available flight).

He claims he used "the back of his hand," but I'm not so sure.

Just think of it as a full-body massage and it’s really not all that bad ;)
