What a couple of weeks it has been. You know you’ve been flying too much when you try to board a flight to the wrong destination, absolutely convinced the gate agent is wrong when your boarding pass sets off the alarm. I’ve spent exactly one night at home in the past nine days, three nights…

Hilarious. I'm in a similar boat on IFE this month. BBT was funny the first few times, but now? Ugh!

I spent 2 nights at the Andaz WeHo this week, I'm curioius your thoughts. I lucked into a free upgrade from a 'view' room to a corner suite, since they were cleaning carpets in my original room. Darn. Nice stay, but watch for the picketers at 6am.

Regarding the TV cast on flight, I really hate the stupid "Office" episode I repeatedly saw on last month's MR flights.

Is the call button really for "emergencies only?" I don't remember this during the safety briefings 😉

That lady didn't get your sarcasm because she doesn't know what 1K is, she thinks PremEx is the top tier 😉

Just got done with 3 nights at the Park Hyatt Shanghai. Wow! It rocks!

"Service has been phenomenal all around."

The badgering to watch the safety demo did sound phenomenal.

Quick question: what do you do for a living? Do you mostly do mileage runs or do you have a reason to be flying where you are flying?

@Chasgoose - Nothing. His parents pay for him to fly around the country aimlessly.

Kind of like how your "university" apparently pays you to surf aimlessly in the middle of the day and attack someone a lot of people actually like reading. Nice "department" leadership, huh?

TROLL

Hey Super80,

Get your facts correct before you post you dumb troll!

His parents don't pay for him to fly around. Maybe he is just successful at a young age? Something you weren't? How would you know if his parents paid for his travel? Do you know Lucky personally? I highly doubt he would ever associate with someone like you...

Hope you have a good rest of your day being malicious! 🙂

@ EndlosLuft -- Ran into someone in a Red Carpet Club a long time ago while with a group of FlyerTalkers. He had some extra stickers and gave us some.

@ BTA -- Is it sad that I'm doing through BBT withdrawal? I haven't seen that episode for two days, and I already miss it...

@ DModemd -- Park Hyatt Shanghai? I've gotta be honest, that building scares the hell out of me.

@ chasgoose -- I'm a student (I'm majoring in marketing). My travel consulting and blogging more than pays for my travel, so that's what I'm usually doing.

@ nick -- My classes just finished, hence the back-to-back mileage runs. Trying to get in as much travel while I still have time.
