American Airlines Loves Me
And something else of which I'm slightly ashamed - my pathetic glee at finding myself an American Airlines Platinum Member, elevated from the ranks of the gold peons. The card came in the post with a platinum-coloured 'Benefits Guide' which I read from cover to cover. I have trashed the idea of loyalty cards recently, but, somehow, airline ones are so much more glamorous than the rest - even when it's from the often rather shabby American. It's to do with the public nature of travel, the visible status involved in, for example, always being able to check in at the first class desk - one 'benefit' now available to me. It's pathetic I know, but, in spite of rumours to the contrary, I am only human.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Be prepared for much muttering and scowling "did you see that, bet he's one of those creepy bankers"
ReplyDeletePlus, come the revolution it's allways the platinum mob up against the wall first.
I understand the pleasure completely... the wall can wait
ReplyDeletemake sure you take your guide, the staff will not know anyhow, they will need informing of the benefits for your new status.
