Poll of the Day > Its official: my friend will be adding me to his flight benefits(airline pilot)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dang this is so cool.

Flights wouldnt be free but really cheap across the US and the world. I don't know what to do with myself.

This begins jan. 1st and lasts through 2019. After that I imagine the torch will be passed on to other friends, which is alright with me.

Sounds pretty awesome. Is it only for flights that he's piloting and what kind of seats can you get for discounted prices? First class might be a standard for you lol

I dont know the details but its any United flight, US or the world.

US flights are 25 one way+taxes, and international flights are I think 50 each way plus taxes and fees. he said a flight there and back to London would be around 275 and Paris would be around 175, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than normal.

I imagine I'd just be sitting with random people in general boarding, which i dont care. I'd fly in a shipping container if it was cheap, I really do not give a fuck.

It's time for you to become a hunter of rare currency.

these international rates are a little steep for me to go to without planning it first, but I kinda want to talk to somebody in person, go to paris, or london or somewhere, take photos proving I am there, and then talk to that person again in person. all within a span of 24 hours.

I could do that domestically, but not internationally. at those rates while still cheap I cant just go as I please. but domestically I can easily see myself flying to vegas when I simply get scheduled 2 days in a row off like it doesnt even matter.

Dang, that's a steaaaal.

This also means I have a free flight(roughly) from credit card miles I need to use up before the year is over. Not that the points expire but it doesnt make any sense to not use to before the year is up.

I am going to vegas. I dont know if I will get 2 days in a row off but if I do I might as well do it then, but if I get some good shifts I was thinking if I left work in the afternoon and had the next day off I could make it work, or maybe something like get to vegas around 7-9PM, dont even get a hotel room, cruise the strip all night and fly out at like 8AM.

IDK man. this is cool ive never had so much power.

Oh and then I need a new credit card because gridning for points would be useless, so I need an cash back card.
