Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / January 2006Harro from Seoul, Korea
Just got off from a 15.5 hour nostop flight from ATL on Korean Air, waiting for the connecting flight to Auckland, NZ. (Strange; the KAL hub thing, I presume). Just testing the internet support at the KAL Lounge. The Lounge has much better free food and beverage than Continental's (KAL pardner) President's Club. It was strange the clerk wouldn't admit me on my President's Club card (which costs hundreds of bucks a year), but let me in on CO's Platinum card (which costs nothing). I think she made a mistake. At any rate, it's 7 pm here in Seoul, and 5 am Eastern US time. -- Feeesh on the road. > The Lounge has much better free food and beverage than > Continental's (KAL pardner) President's Club.

I think she made a mistake. No mistake. KAL clubs don't reciprocate with President's Clubs. Only Northwest and (recently) Delta do that. You got admitted because you're flying KAL and your Platinum card makes you a Skyteam Elite Plus member, entitling you to enter the club of any Skyteam airline you're flying on (international flights only), even if you're flying coach. The "benefit" for regular Skyteam Elite (which includes CO Silver and Gold elites) only allows for club admittance with a business- or first-class ticket which isn't much of a benefit at all since the airlines already do this for business or first-class flyers. Enjoy your remaining Platinum benefits while they last. "International First and Business Class passengers as well as SkyTeam Elite Plus members traveling in Economy Class enjoy complimentary access to most SkyTeam partner lounges worldwide. Simply present your same-day ticket for an international SkyTeam airline flight. As a SkyTeam Elite Plus passenger, you can even invite a guest to join you in the lounge." http://www.skyteam.com/EN/benefits/skyteam_eliteplus.jsp >>The Lounge has much better free food and beverage than >>Continental's (KAL pardner) President's Club.

It's two air travellers sharing information about airline lounges that other scuba travellers may not know about -- as I didn't, and I've travelled over 600,000 air miles the last 6 years. If don't give a sh.t, all you have to do is keep your mouth shut, like the rest of the folks in rec.scuba.locations. -- Bob. >From the Diamond Princess in Auckland, NZ now. >>Sounds like a bunch of snobs waving some damn card in my face expecting >>me to give a sh.t. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > over > 600,000 air miles the last 6 years. 600K miles? I can't tell if you're bragging or complaining - maybe both? > If don't give a sh.t, all you have to do is keep your mouth shut, like > the rest of the folks in rec.scuba.locations. I suppose I would if I thought I was under some sort of twisted obligation to abide someone else's preferences. I'm not. Get over it. > -- Bob. > >>From the Diamond Princess in Auckland, NZ now.

I can't tell if you're bragging or complaining - maybe both? Perhaps it's too much for you to recognize it as merely a statement of FACT, about my frequency of air travel, mostly to dive locations? Fact: CO Platinum 7 years in a row; each year required air travel of 75K PAID miles on CO. Fact: in 2004, counting the free air travel miles and those paid travel on non-CO airlines, I travelled 149,000+ miles. > > If don't give a sh.t, all you have to do is keep your mouth shut, like > > the rest of the folks in rec.scuba.locations. > > I suppose I would if I thought I was under some sort of twisted > obligation to abide someone else's preferences.

Another statement of FACT. Not like the "jerk", aka jer, all he does in rec.scuba forums is complain about cruise ships, in Cozumel, without a shread of evidence about what they do, or don't do, to the diving environment. > -- > jer > email reply - I am not a 'ten' For a jerK, why should you ever let FACTS get in your way? -- Bob. >>>>Sounds like a bunch of snobs waving some damn card in my face expecting >>>>me to give a sh.t. [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > travel > on non-CO airlines, I travelled 149,000+ miles. And all these facts are supposed to matter to me or anybody else around here because.....? Are we expected to confer some sort of specialness upon Reef Bobby? Not. >>>If don't give a sh.t, all you have to do is keep your mouth shut, like >>>the rest of the folks in rec.scuba.locations. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Just repeat what you said TO YOURSELF! And repeat it often. The only reason I'm in this thread is because you were shooting off your mouth. And while you may be special to some, you're just a schmuck diver like me and just about everyone else I've seen around here (not that there's anything wrong with that). I just figured you ought to realize there's at least one schmuck diver out here that isn't impressed with your flight schedule or any damn card you wave around so you can go inside your special little lizard lounge to strut your sh.t. >>>-- Bob. >>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > a shread of evidence about what they do, or don't do, to the diving > environment. You're certainly entitled to your own opinion, because just like me, everybody's got one.

You're here jerKing off your sh.t because you have nothing better to do. -- Bob. "Reef Fish" <Large_Nassau_Grouper@Yahoo.com> pounded away at his keyboard resulting in: :Wrong, jer the jerK. You're here jerKing off your sh.t because you :have :nothing better to do. Him too? I thought I was the only one who did that. Dan Bracuk If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. > "Reef Fish" <Large_Nassau_Grouper@Yahoo.com> pounded away at his > keyboard resulting in: [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Him too? I thought I was the only one who did that. Don't be so quick to claim the credit for something that belonged to others. In the event jerK is unable to serve out his term as the JerK (or j.rkoff; or jerKopf) of rec.scuba.locations, jerK's unfinished term will be held by "bendover" ben brad; before your are eligible for it. -- Bob.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Those prolific cross-posters don't even read their own posts much less see > any fish. Really? I saw lots of red herrings in that thread. > This is a diving ng so let's get this back on topic. Did you see any > fish? This is a scuba.LOCATIONS ng. And how do you get to those locations? I go to 95%+ of mine by flying. A Google search on "airport airlines" and other air travel topics, entirely, posted by Dan Bracuk in this group, indicated you did the same, especially on posts unrelated to any specific diving. As for "on topic" as a rec.scuba.locations complaint, you jest. I saw lots of fish, of various species. Unfortunately fish is one of my least favorite seafood. I prefer shrimp, lobsters and other crustaceans. -- Bob. |
