    anyone see it? like it?

    I enjoyed it... but seemed like a first class mismatch... what are those new domestic first class seats installed in? And i doubt they'd be in a Super 80 or a 757W

    Also why would some elite frequent flyer settle for jim beam white label?

    Loved it when they started talking in IATA codes, and the girl says "wow we get turned on by elite airline status" haha. And his closing monologue about his wingtip lighting up the sky.

    I heard the 10 million miles club was fake... what about this concierge key? What do you get? Not that you'd swipe it through the passport reader like he did. Why can't they get these little things right?

    I find all these frequent flyer levels interesting, seems way more out of control in USA than here. I always noted that AA had a massively long upgrade list too, and yet DL managed to upgrade staff into J a lot of the time. So does that mean DL doesn't let as many frequent flyers upgrade?

    Oh and V Australia staff were at the cinema handing out leaflets advertising their new MEL-JNB service. That was weird.

    To be honest, it was a little disappointing. Yes, some of the airline stuff was fun, but the movie as a whole was a little slow, I thought. Oh, and who flies to Milwaukee to go to northern Wisconsin? That's the furthest corner there is, Minneapolis is closer if he had to stick to the main airports, and Wausau (CWA) is serviced by AA.

    Oh God. What have you people done to me? It was one thing when I started seeing airport codes in license plates, but this has gone much, much further

    I haven&#39;t seen it. It looks like one of those movies I&#39;d like to see, but wouldn&#39;t pay much money to see it. Maybe one of those movies you watch...on a plane. Or to really get corny...Up in the air.

    DL upgrades are different domestic vs international. International only platinums get a very limited # of upgrades/year and alot of nonrevs get on up front. Domestic its a free for all. Upgrades are prioritized but nonrevs don&#39;t have much of a chance domestic. I&#39;ve gotten F domestic a few times, but even if its wide open, you can&#39;t expect it.

    Yeah, that happens as well, mostly 757 (probably because they actually flew that on NW... now that I think about it, I think that&#39;s the only Boeing NW flew at the time).

    And you&#39;ll know you&#39;re really insane when you think of airplanes while the clock reads 767! Especially on the 13th day of the 13th month of the 13 year.

    As I long suspected, C-19 you stand to close to the blast fence.

    It probably wouldn&#39;t surprise you if I told you you weren&#39;t the first person to say that to me, and I know you won&#39;t be the last...
