    Endlessly brag? I believe I've posted about my trip it maybe 2 or 3 times, as I was beyond excited about it. Get a tissue Nancy. JFC.

    I'm surprised you even have any lowly coins in your possession. A man of your stature should only walk around with hundred dollar bills.

    As an ex-CON who worked there 17 years and was fortunate enough to leave on my terms before the Borg took over, it's truly sad to see what's happened. United has taken what Continental built in Houston and turned it into trash, even more on the cargo side than passenger.

    Jeff Smisek is the worst thing that ever happened to Continental. It's too bad Larry Kellner didn't stay on to lead the transition.

    LOL at this hate-fest toward Texxx and LonghornFan. If they worked hard enough to earn their financial status in life, then props to them. As far as being a douche, douche's wouldn't give away free suite tickets to a Rockets game, which were arguably the best seats in the Toyota Center by the way. Thanks again for that, LonghornFan.

    EDIT-I flew United for the 1st time last year to the Summer League in Vegas. I had no complaints, other than the lady next to me who decided to open her metal water container, mid flight, only to burst right in my face while I tried to sleep. I had enough points for 1st class, which was awesome. I wish there was a little more legroom, but that's about it.

    No problem at all bro, and lol I had no idea you changed your nic.

    theogcasey, calm down Coug. It's all in fun and I'm sorry me posting about a once in a lifetime trip I experienced, on a message board that I've been posting on for over a decade, makes you so upset. It wasn't all that great anyways, as I'm not a fan of Randy Travis and they flew him in to play for the wedding party. ;) He's much tinier in person that I expected and the music still has no slick beats.

    Damn. I hate you. ;)

    Sounds great and all but the real question is which version of the concorde did you like better? BA or Air France?

    Yes tortola is a bit too 3rd world. Sorry about that. the more discriminating tastes are either jost van dyk or bora bora. Just get me out of papeete. As hepburn would say 'what a dump'

    As for what version of the concorde I definitely would say air france. BA concorde just didn't have that refinement I have become accustomed to.

    I preferred Air France since overall french cuisine is well, french cuisine. Personally for me it's orly over roissy as it put us closer to the horse riding chateau near fountainbleu... and well there just a je ne sais quoi element of the whole experience with concorde air france.

    The little windows on the concorde intrigued me in general and seeing the speed on the wall panel showing mach 2, a real treat.. Paris was great as well but after a week at the place athenee I was ready for some RR at the other villa near villefranche. Cote d azur is nice but the negresco just isnt what it used to be.. so 'yesterday' on that busy road. yuck.

    Eh, maybe I overreacted. I think texxx is who I was really reacting to and you happened to be in the crossfire. My bad bro. Go on with living your life.

    I have ZERO problems flying commercial or in coach as I sleep anyways...but I'm married and if I can eliminate griping I will do that at all costs. Noise canceling earphones don't seem to work when she's uncomfortable.

    They also fly business class/first class and are at least 10 years younger than you. Like I said, BFD how you fly. People to choose to spend or in some cases.. not spend on different things that matter to them.

    Point is...you sound like an 8 year old girl. My dad has more money than your dad.

    This is for you -- http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2009/04/16/ditch-the-jet-its-cool-to-fly-commercial/
