we have a certain "friend" who is absolutely addicted to frequent flyer miles. he loves the perks that come with travel so much that his goal in life is to garner as many miles as possible in one trip. he's addicted to the point that he gladly considers flying 24 hours on what would normally be a 3.5 hour trip.
exhibit a:
a regular route from omaha to boston
exhibit b:
friend's regular route from omaha to boston
exhibit c:
friend's dream route from omaha to boston
we'd like to tell him no elite class status, or free drinks in first class, are worth this.

LOL - I think as long as he doesn't whine about the fact that he just wasted 8 hours sitting in 32" of space, he should be allowed to travel from omaha to alaska to dallas to iowa to boston if he would like.
However, if he is whining, then I would lock him up in the cupboard on the lanai.
i like your idea, lady, perhaps we could also ban him from the Landing...
i will not be banned from the landing... its the place to see and be seen!!!
i also think we need a general ban on the word "lanai." and i think we all know who i mean...
c'mon... omaha to boston, 24 hours, 12,000 miles, $350.... it's totally worth it!!!
send the friend on over to FlyerTalk.com where all the other mileage junkies hang out and they will become so engrossed in the frequent flyer chatter you'll never have to worry about them again.
There's a forum there for these "mileage run" people and they make a sport of of trips like this. Go figure.
HA! I love that last map!
