My friend Scott runs the Hack My Trip blog, and he does a great job with it. We’re very different – I felt like going to college was the biggest waste of my life, while he has like 14 doctoral degrees and is trying to figure out a way to get back into school, cause…

I think the best response would be to tell him to duck off. 🙂

Thanks, Ben. We need some break after watching CNN these days. Besides you have passion for what you do, which makes you so different from other bloggers.

We're a different breed at HMT. Unlike The Devil's Advocate, I didn't make my girlfriend in an angled lie-flat seat, but a year later when she was my wife, I did make her do it on our honeymoon. 😛

Corrected comment: "We’re a different breed at HMT. Unlike The Devil’s Advocate, I didn’t make my girlfriend fly in an angled lie-flat seat, but a year later when she was my wife, I did make her fly in one on our honeymoon. :P"

Lucky, why do you think going to college was the biggest waste of your life?

hold on a second, lucky you're based on the east coast right? and scott is on the west coast... this sounds like a good ol fashioned: east coast vs. west coast showdown. lol the devil's advocate def threw out some fighting words there.

I'll have 8 hours in FRA between LH flights on a biz trip, not going to spend it in the lowly biz lounge, any sightseeing suggestions first-time Frankfurt? I will be traveling without Porsche escort.

Unfortunately, Ben, Scott really got you good this time..... I too don't see the appeal of LH, FCT or otherwise. Give me lovely SQ flight attendants any day. If it's any consolation though, I thought your presentations were the best at FTU Advanced. So where did you end up after Chicago? Picked up another rubber duck?

Well, obviously you wouldn't be flying your girlfriend in angled-flat business class - you and your boyfriend would both be up front in flat-bed first. 😉

I am on Lucky's side on this one. He would never fly his boyfriends on angled flat business class!
