    actually a doctor i was standing next to in panama waiting to get on the plane asked me if i had anything for his wives stomach
    when i told him i only had one prilosec in my pocket for me he asked if i wanted to trade something lol
    so im like, what you got? and he said ambien ...and im like, trade
    as he was reaching into his bag i saw a few of those small airline bottles of dewars and i asked if he was going to be able to take them on
    he said he does it all the time and never had it taken so i learned something that day
    also spotted mel gibson and his hot latina waiting for the same plane
    can't make these things up
    i guess you could but that would be stupid wouldn't it?

    you can and i actually finished several bottles of rum w a couple of ex mormons on a flight but they wrap that stuff so tight...
    they got in it and we got shit faced but looking at that box and those two mormons faces when we hit LA I literally ran from them for fear of how to explain the box
    suppose they could have ditched the box and stashed the remaining bottle but it didn't occur to me at the time and my survival instincts kicked in

    geezus in between my last post and now psycho indio boy started screaming from his house while I was watching my mom
    went into the yard and started filming as he screamed he is going to kill me
    throwing furniture legs, rebar all sorts of shit now
    LAPD came and spoke w me and the same old shit, they will go talk to him and thats probably it
    also ssid even though i had him on camera threatening to kill me and 3 witnesses that he didn't have the means, i.e. a gun so nothing to do
    i tell you he blew out his screen in the window and almost fell out
    i was screaming at him to come on hoping he would fall to his death
    something tells me this isn't going to end well
    they also said even if he is in my yard (which is a compound) i have no right to kill him unless he had a knife or a gun
    in fact i don't even have the right to beat his ass
    think thats going to stop me?

    Political theater.
    If you join in on the act you bound to run into bad actors.
    Politics is not for the people.
    The people are the tools. The actors.
    They certainly arent the writers producers and directors.
    Public demonstrations are like a weapon.
    If you brandish you better be ready to shoot.
    And if you shoot you better have good aim.
    Thats why you dont demonstrate until its time to stand firm and die for what you are demonstrating for.
    If not you just a bad actor causing innocent ignorant people to think demonstrating is a good idea.
    Mob mentality publicly demonstrates some of the worsts parts of humanity.
    You better off just starting your own private thing.
    Like the thing of the vikings and the cosa of the shekels. Folks just need a cause.

    Too many years
    Too many millions of miles
    I'm pre-registered in most airlines 'frequent flyer' clubs with my aisle seating preference known
    and this shit still happens once in a while
    so you gotta protest.. energetically at the gate (fuck those trolls).. and if that doesn't work then do it politely in the plane while offering "Outstanding Service Excellence" certificates for their assistance. Flight attendants care about these silly pieces of paper. Big time.

    These are usually offered by an airline once you hit xxx,xxx miles. My air travel life got way better once I hit 1,000,000 miles on American and now I'm Priority boarding for life and Gold club for life. Free baggage forever and board with first class. I no longer get bumped from my seat on any American related airline.

    Also these silly 'OSE' certificates stay in my travel backpack and I'm delighted to give them away "IF" I can EVER find service worthy. I've seen a harried flight attendant deal with some ungrateful newby flier and walked by her an hour later and palmed a couple of OSE's and the next time I saw her was when she brought me an unrequested vodka cocktail a bit later.

    Take away.. sign up for the airline 'clubs' and then focus on using one as much as practical. I had a nice balance on United ,Delta and American and since American had better international partners I used them to rack up massive miles on my overseas trips.

    Unfortunately casual travelers have very little sway as this industry heavily caters to the frequent fliers

    Good suggestion. I'm generally not able to sleep very well on the plane though. Do you pop a melatonin or something a bit more potent?

    Im asking since my wifes family flies from ecuador often.
    Is the miles thing per account or per person?
    For instance if my wife has an account can her parents use it to purchase tickets and have their miles go on her account?

    Everything good is free.
    If you want something just watch nature and learn how nature does it.
    Nature does everything for free.
    All types of nature.

    you can sometimes transfer miles between family members but depends on the carrier
    but accumulating them is per person, so if two people fly to the same place together it is necessary to have two separate accounts
    some carriers are affiliated with an org like star alliance which is like an umbrella that multiple carriers can be combined
    it can get really complicated and that is intentional so that you give up
    5 years ago miles used to really add up but they have become so deluded by most carriers that it takes a lot of flight time to accumulate anything worthwhile
    for your wife flying to ecuador i would imagine it might get the equivalent of a free ticket after maybe 15 trips or so
    she is probably flying avianca or copa and those are both star alliance so you can say accrue all the miles for both on copa which at this point is the better airline imo.
