Re: Working Hard or Hardly Working? From WSJ

A few things Cherm:

1.) Business Class is a beautiful thing... I am 6'4 - and could sleep the entire way... And just in case you get any crazy ideas on those packed flights - and if you happen to be walking back to coach passing empty business class seats - do not attempt to sit in one... They load the plane with the proper amount of meals - when those meals don't match - then they get out who should be where and who they upgraded - they'll find you eventually just because their meals don't match.

2.) Secondly - rows 81 thru 89 are the best - those numbers on KLM and Northwest mean you are upstairs - 100% silence...

3.) You can get upgraded to business class for nothing. And don't worry about humiliation - simply walk up to the counter and say that you fly this every other weekend - you have work to do - you are primier - and that you were wondering if they had any room at all in first class - I'll even skip the food. I would say 6 times out of ten - this worked for a friend that I traveled with.

4.) Profile profile profile [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

I launched my firm in Rotterdam almost 8 years ago... So know that country very well... We also have projects in Amsterdam, Houda, Delft and Utrecht - let me know if you need to know where the proper gentleman clubs are that people do not talk about [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img] Or, the cities that have cool out of the way bars that are older than the US and have AWESOME food...
