A Placed Called Heaven
Ok, so I bought this pass from Continental Airlines called the “Privilege Pack.” It was like $125 or something. It came with maybe 7,000 miles, a $99 companion ticket (why I bought it), a coupon for airfare, and rental car coupons, which make great pieces of toilet paper.
My favorite part of this book was 2 free passes to the VIP President’s Club. I used one last week before a trip to Europe. A good time to use it. My flight was delayed 7 hours because of a storm. They had to reroute the flight to New Hampshire because of a storm in Newark, then the storm went to New Hampshire. You’d think they would have maybe rerouted the flight to the south where the storm didn’t go?
This would have been excruciating except for the free-wireless-internet, free-copies-of-the-economist, free-coffee, leather chair lounge. I really some of you who were born rich have enjoyed the President’s Club your whole lives but for me it’s something wonderful and new.
