Teh Penalty Box | part 2

Saw pictures of the new amenity kits. Basically Global First got an updated looking version of the old BF kit and BF gets a slightly better version of the UA C net bag.

Where's the :td: when I need it?

Good times with Seth at the Pub Crawl....

These kids salon parties are all the rage these days it seems. A friend owns 3 and is trying to build a franchise

Trying to do an authorized unlock on my iPhone so I can use it internationally, before upgrading to a non-sucky iPhone.

The Airtrain EWR is even worse than that. The company that made it is out of business and there are no spare parts available. Everything is custom. It's too bad they didn't buy something that is more an industry standard. And it is creepily slow - the only saving grace is that the distances are short.

The Airtrain will need to be rebuilt, and they should either extend it to Newark Penn Station, or else extend PATH to the EWR station.

I'll be in the city in 45 if you clowns want to drink more.

Hmmm that sounds like a downgrade for sCO BF and little change for everyone else

I'd have to say that the amenity kit is for me the least important factor in a great international flight - hard product, food, lounge, FA & CSR friendliness are all more important, as are factors harder to control like security and border lines.

I'm just glad they had a fruit plate for me.

I sensed sarcasm, fwiw.

The Hilton is interestingly funky. It's the only one I've stayed in recently, though. Free wifi in the bar if you don't otherwise have status.

Agree completely. I do think the amenity kits are a gesture and demonstration of the service you're trying to provide. I usually use the eye-mask, ear plugs, and if it's a nice lotion, I'll use it as well.

Made a passionfruit margarita and it is delish. .

Growing up, this was my Diplomat Suite:

SOL ..LOL..

I wonder if I can use the Hilton facilities...no Hilton Status.
No StAAtus on that AAirline too..so AAdmirals club may be no-go...(unless I find some MP-er to guest me in, etc).

Don't stay at the Doubletree Downtown...it is teh

Sitting on E145 from beautiful IAH to CLT. Forgot what a zoo B84 gates can be and discipline of group boarding was nonexistent. Do they know who I am

I am in teh same boat at LAX -- arriving early a.m. from HKG next week on UA with absolutely no shower access, anywhere...LAX also is teh

Wood-paneled station wagons haz moar pimp than minivans.

Time for some Cuban food.

Dinner tonight is Thin Mints and coffee.

We had a Diplomat and two Oldsmobile Cutlass's...all three with teh wood panels. That, my friends = 70's/80's p.i.m.p.!

I am still surprised that pmUA got away with all these lounges without showers at their hubs.

Dislike!!
Overtime at work?

I, for one, didn't understood how nice you pmCO flyers had it at your hubs. We pmUA flyers got trained that arrival showers were mainly available in Europe, only on paid C, and often with fairly inconvenient time-consuming hotel shuttle rides.
