You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

Not as silly as it sounds.


You wouldn't want to have a haircut too often at those prices.

I am still trying to get my mens hair stylist (barber) to accept a CC so I can get $15 worth of FF points. I told him Amex preferably!!!:shock:

If you want an amazing haircut/beard trim try Ted Baker at Covent Garden in London if you have a spare hour and a bit and about £50.

£50! Seriously.... don't let my barber hear about those sort of prices...:shock:

I'll settle for the $25 trim and a chat...

Mine does take amex (and is on shop small), but it costs more than $15

Good luck with that. I often find myself coaching them (the small business owner) how to approach Amex.
It never works
They are just to expensive, for alot of people, unless there is a pre-organised discout on offer like the big firms are able to do.

Off topic but my mechanic takes Amex.. said that the rep promised to match Visa if they didn't add a surcharge to the customer.. win win.
But I think it depends on the industry.. the travel agent charges an Amex surcharge

Oh so there is hope !!

My +1 said to me today that she has a couple of free return flights to use before they expire and I told her that I do too. Then I said that I also had 4 free Europcar weekend rentals that I needed to use and a $100 JQ voucher, 3 VA-J upgrades and lounge passes which I forfeit year in, year out.

We both laughed at the ludicrous situation of not having the time to use travel "freebies" because of too much travel and I decided this should "go straight to the travel pool room"......well, this tread in any case!

On a long road trip, you put the seat back for a rest & tell the driver "wake me when the meal is served".

And the passengers in the row behind start kneeing you in the back muttering "bloody recliners..."

Or they come prepared with a modified recliner locker!

If you mean "all the seats in the car a seat number" - then guilty as charged.

How was the Lounge :shock:

 

[Simo]

I am in a lounge at the moment enjoying a few pre dinner beverages so that is my excuse.

 

[Steady]

The very best excuse and I am jealous

When you're in a taxi, and at the end of your journey you wait for the seatbelt sign to go out before taking off your seatbelt!

... you go to a meeting under the approach to MEL and keep getting distracted trying to work out where the flight is from the engine sound and time of day.
