Both mine and my wife’s Club Carlson free night e-certs have posted in our accounts online. They expire September 30, 2016. Very nice. Keeping the cards for now…in the drawer.
Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfers to Amtrak end December 8. You don’t have much time left to burn some of them points for the sleeper cabin awards like we did in our epic trip across the US (and on to South America)!
Travel With Grant posts his experience booking a Singapore Airlines award, very good info!
This Gunnar Garfors dude again now recommends which countries we must all visit: Romania, Madagascar, Iceland, Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Kiribati, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone, Dominica, Norway, Uruguay. Hell no I am not going to Sierra Leone! I need to find Kiribati on the map lol.

Buzz-
Is that Belarus with an average I.Q. of negative 95? Have you heard any rumors about an upcoming FTU ‘do’ there?
Just noticed that, WOW! Only Advanced FTU belongs there lol.
Kinda surprised Sam didn’t claim #1. Therefore, I am #1.2. That works, right? If someone doesn’t claim it, it’s yours, right? #deepnessyetagain
Hmmm, you are right. May have to convene a TBB committee on this… #developing
Which means I get a 2nd again. All is right with the world
You.Are.Always.Second.Consistency!
TBB, on the carlson website, where can you see that the free carlson award night has posted (or not)?
Bluecat: You login to your account and click My Account, it will show your e-cert. I am also waiting for my free night certificate.
Thanks. I see the ecerts area now….and it looks empty still. 🙁
If you don’t see it by Sunday night, call on Monday!
Funny dog gif !
Very interesting Singapore Airlines article, I’m trying to see how that fits into the overall scheme of things in terms of when a friend books a flight for a friend, I hear that happens a lot these days but I don’t know how much the airlines scrutinize these things.
I had to google the “$20 front desk Las Vegas trick”, hmmm do you think it really works, and how often ? There is even a stupid website devoted to it, can you believe it ?
Sam you are too funny.
I book award trips for others all the time, no big deal if you have ALL their info you may be asked for.
I have never done a Singapore Airlines award so don’t sweat it.
Yeah, that $20 trick has been around for a VERY long time. I have never used it because the only time I use it the rep may not give it back to me and give a regular room…and then whadoyado, go back and complain? Don’t think so.
Well this statement ruled out Kiribati
“Paradise, like it used to be. There isn’t much luxury”
The only reason anybody traveled with Emirates was to fcuk the stewardess. I might as well go with Spirit airlines now.

If a place has no Hyatt…does it really exist?
She made $1 million!!! And no picture. I don’t believe it. Actually I rode on the shuttle bus with a crew from Spirit Air and I swear one of them was the prettiest FA I have EVER seen. I wanted to go up to her and tell her…Why? If she replied, why what? I would say Why, Spirit why? But I didn’t and just kept playing with my phone lol.
ABC-
Back in the 1970s, there was a book rating the plusses and minusses of dating steeardesses of each of the airlines. In the chapter on United it said “Sleeping with a United stew is like sleeping with your wife”.
I bought the book as a Christmas present for a friend of mine whose wife was, of course, a UA stewardess.
Love it. Waiting for a story by Ramsey soon…
More fuel for the jokes about the Turks?
So how long before we get a google maps tour of your house?

Would not mind a google map tour of how that Emirates FA made $1 million in the lavatory
Kidding of course.
