of mice and men and nonrevs...

Ok, so well, I got the boot at the gate. After the GA said I'm a goner, Boss came out to give me the bad news. Good thing is I gave him my car keys last night. No big surprise when both cabin #s went neg, one pax at a time. I am tired of these people running from the DF shops, then thru bag security at the gate, just to get a seat. Dammit--BE ON TIME or you can stand there with a mournful look on your face because you bought too much CRAP!
Worst part: I was using S2 and first nonrev. Now that's mean for the day after my birthday trip. Maybe I should change my birthdate to May and see how that works? Any day should work better for EU. Or just pick a better nonrev destination? What's your take?

To make it more palatable for me: I'm at membership lounge sipping on free sekt (look it up; it's not naughty!) and waiting for SBY on AF to CDG. Yeah, it's gonna cost me some hotel points (not bad--right in terminal). ezed is all of $42 OW and even w/almost $100 tax/fees (double PRG..Big whoop!)
So, barring any over-zealous nonrevs on this one to Paris, I bid you all adieu and expect to take my nonstop to home --a demain, mes amies.
( for those who realize my French is limited, take pity!)

Happy summer nonrevving!

Bring the bubbly with you. Its hot over here

Don't you all have a cut off time at gate. No appearance at T- ??? (insert time here) means no seat

BON ANNIVERSAIRE

Many thanks, Frapos. Yep, CDG is really HOT in the terminals. Don't the French have AC? UGH.
Had steak/frites last night but the 5am alarm some ELSE set didn't help me sleep!
Got a good seat on AF and an upgraded suite using pts (when they didn't HAVE rooms--not sure about that?) Sadly, the treadmills start around 5:30 so no rest for the wicked! Gym is next to my suite...whomp whomp whomp...
Flt looks great to home! Guess we're the only ones on Euro time. Cheers and see you in EU some day. Are you FRA base? My friends from Bremen just arrived 2 days ago in CVG. Small world, ain't it?
Cheers all!
