Weird news of the day

[Randimus Maximus]

I've spent over 250,000 miles on an airplane over the last 2 years.

most of my flights have been to/from Denver & Phoenix, Vegas, or Albuquerque...tough to rack up miles that way...segments on the other hand 

[Popeye the Sailor]

Whine whine whine I travel *so* much blah de blah blah.

I'm sure you've got many more segments than me...many of mine were to Tokyo, Singapore, Melbourne, Shanghai, London, Munich, etc.  Although this year seems like mostly East Coast trips.

<continuing threadjack>
So a couple of trips ago, I was sitting in the Economy Plus exit row (this was a seat where I had nobody in front of me - so several feet worth of legroom), and a guy walking to the back of the plane says, "Excuse me miss, but I'm 6'6"...would you mind trading seats?  I'm going to be so miserable for this long flight."  (Never mind that 6 hours isn't a long flight to me.)

I told him I would trade if his seat was Economy Plus.  It wasn't so I stayed put.  Felt a bit bad about it.  Although I later discovered that for that particular flight United charged $60 for non-elite members to upgrade to Economy Plus.

We each have one. She's just in the wrong one. She's silly like that.

Good job!  I hate it when people try to take a handout by feeding off of other peoples guilt.  Although I will gladly give up my seat in particular instances (such as i've got a window seat and some mom and her kid want to trade me for an isle seat)

I do the same.

I do the same.

as any decent person would    But some people are just too kind hearted and they are who those freeloaders try to pick out.
