An FTer birthday this week – wish Point_Chaser a happy birthday on 6th June.

Jenbel and chrissxb have set up a fantastic consolidated do thread. So I am looking for 1 more new find to showcase each week. Any suggestions please by PM (click here)?

New news – pax hospitalised after turbulence.

Something from the talking heads, err Talk Board – nothing new this week!

Something random – the topic of getting miles for a 2nd seat comes up from time to time. Here is a recent thread including comments about miles for a seat for a cello.

British Airways has modified its seating policy somewhat after many customer complaints. Check out if you benefit from the modifications.

Did you know there is a *G benefit available in some circumstances even when not flying *A? I’m not talking about open door lounge access that certain top elites have. To find out more, check out this thread on the *A forum.

United Airlines has done away with its planned removal of mileage conversion upon expiry of 500-miler upgrade certificates for certain members. Check if you qualify here.

Which of the 30 busiest airports are the most pleasurable(?!) according to FTers, and which are least? Results to date are not surprising (to me).

…if you are traveling in the United States on Friday, June 1, 2007 and you are craving for something sweet, you may get yourself an absolutely free doughnut on National Doughnut Day.

National Doughnut Day?!?

Why do I not have the day off from work?!?

Anyway, sprinkle this news around the hole office on your next coffee break. Then, sink your teeth into this pormotion by hopping into your rusted old Toyota Cruller to venture for your doughnut. The icing on the cake is that it is free!!!

According to the latest issue of Consumer Reports magazine, this airline ranked worst in a rating by 23,000 readers.

Which airline in the United States “earned” this dubious distinction?

I am not telling…

…your miles are about to be de-valued…

…but by how much?!?

Please see the THAI devalues mileage program starting October 1st, 2007 thread for additional details.

Can you guess what is the topic of the Arrrrgh stupid stupid thread, and in which forum is it located?

The only hint that you will be given is that travel is discussed in this thread.

By the way, I am not attempting to pick on the FlyerTalk member who posted this thread. Rather, the title of the thread caught my eye and my interest, and I was quite curious to investigate as to what is its topic.

If you had already clicked on the link to the thread before venturing a guess, you are required to walk around in circles in a popular public venue repeatedly citing “Arrrrgh stupid stupid!” “Arrrrgh stupid stupid!” for a minimum of seven straight hours.

Its a loooong line.
