follow-up.  The Lounge at DFW was well-worth the 40 bucks.  I had 6 or more beers and a couple of sandwiches, in relative comfort.   That's a bargain.  

Or you could just get the CSR card and not pony up $40 each time.

High West has a bar at SLC. Pretty solid.

Yes, though, by Utah law, pours are regulated by a dispensing machine and limited to 1 1/2 oz.

NRT has a 7-11 that sells beer at 7-11 prices.  Grab a sixer, find a nice window with a view of the airfield, enjoy. 

I prefer this at Narita

Fell in love with that thing my first time flying through NRT.  The lounge sushi is tits too.

I need a better employer. Current one verifies via Concur that whatever flight we choose is not 10% or $75 more than the cheapest possible coach option. My previous employer made me fly to Dubai in coach. It was a long 19 hours surrounded by Indians returning to their homeland via DBX to visit grandma on her deathbed. All this business class and free lounge drinking talk interests me.

I was tired, asshole.

Currently crushing the self serve bar in the AA flagship lounge at DFW. Highly recommended. 

[Guest Lobo]

What's highly recommended, the DFW airport or crushing?  

[Johnny Chimpo 478]

The crushing. They have some pretty solid food and a very well equipped self serve bar. Other than that I could take or leave dfw as a whole. I’m in Frankfurt now, trying to rustle up another lounge to marinate in.

I can get you a return flight from Chicago next Thursday, does that help?

[hornbri 1400]

I will be there next Friday morning if that helps

Yeah,  for Burning Man East.  Haven't missed one yet.  I'll mainly be watching the Self Immolation stage.

Concur, the JA lounge in Tokyo is the bomb. Hung out there for about 4 hours on my way back from Sydney. I remember them having a red carpet when I went to check in. Total class the whole way.

Will be there in a couple weeks. It’s been a while, looking forward.

When the guy in line in front of you at Hudson's takes the last Financial Times

Police report says the whole thing started when the gate agent told the group of 4 stand-by passengers that she only had 3 open seats.

If they were flying on somebody's buddy passes, somebody is in deep shit.

I think I counted six people in the total melee which appears to have been going on before filming starts, and even continues a bit off to the right background for a little longer as well.  That's two full on brawls for two minutes each in plain sight of a hundred people and a dozen cameras and the only person of any airport authority that comes over is a ramp agent.  Meanwhile, there's 30 TSA agents 6 gates away making sure you're not sneaking any bottled water on board under penalty of jail.  

[Anastasis 23475]

Yeah, I don't miss business travel much.  And not particularly looking forward to re-entry without status. 

[Guest Lobo]

Your mom gave me re-entry status.  

I honestly have to say, I don't miss business travel but I would have loved to have been there for this melee.  

Fucking brutally sad how many people just watched, filmed, and shouted out random comments and offered no help to the victims.  You expect that at a 3am Burger King brawl in Louisiana, but not in broad daylight at major international airport.

Not hot.

You getting in the middle of that?  Dudes are fucking brawling.  In an airport.  By the gates.  They don’t give a fuck.

Sorry, as a white person I don’t feel I have the agency to try and socially appropriate what my privilege dictates as civil behavior to people of color right now. 

I’m gonna cut around and grab a drink at the horrible Applebee’s and let the federal officers deal with that shit.
