Someone is out at sunrise claiming half the pool deck with towels You swear you won’t hit the buffet every morning… and then you do anyway The trivia host is either incredible or completely chaotic, no in between Drink package vs no drink package becomes a whole thing by day two...

Every time I see a line forming on the jet bridge for valet bags, I think I understand how lines work. Then someone just walks straight to the front and stands there like that’s completely normal. No hesitation, no eye contact, just… new system I guess.

Back in 2013 I had a BOS–ORD window in the exit row. Tiny older woman sits next to me and immediately starts yelling because I didn’t read the safety card on command. Kept elbowing me every time I drifted off “No sleeping in exit row! Sacred duty!” The whole flight. Fast-forward...

So my wife used 17k of my miles for a last-minute flight to see her hospitalized dad. At a horrifying 1.69cpp. I mean… why, when we could’ve flown Kansas–Kazakhstan in J for 20cpp?! My friends say I overreacted, but I just care about maximizing my sky bitcoin. Thinking of...

Can’t make this up UA1849 SFO to IAD is delayed because there’s a fox on the runway. We’re apparently waiting for the fox wranglers to show up. Only at SFO.
