Reply #24: I flew over a quarter million miles on domestic business last year

No offense, but if you haven't done it, you have little room to speak.

Waking up at 3:30 AM to get to the airport so I can deal with the idiot TSA, sitting next to sick people on the plane, waiting for luggage which may or may not arrive on time, eating in a different place every meal, filthy taxis, dropped reservations, screaming snotty kids, amateurs at every turn, cancelled flights, arriving at a hotel at 2AM so I cannot get enough rest for a 9AM meeting that turns out to be cancelled. I was on about one hundred flights last year and only about twenty were connecting flights. That means I had to go through the airport nightmare over seventy five times.
Think about it.

People I know say they wish they could travel like I do, stay in great hotels and eat in wonderful restaurants.

Well, they can just try it.

Traveling like that wore me out to the point that I am taking this entire year off.

By the way, I cannot stand that commercial either.
