- 8 Mistakes to Avoid When Redeeming Air Miles, According to Experts
Gotta love MIA. Never a dull moment.
Out of contempt for commenter @David, who was butthurt over a different recent post about MIA, I’d like to blame the Cubans, again. And, no, I don’t care that the lady appears to be black, or that the flight was going to DR, not Havana. My point remains that it is the Cubans that run MIA; they are not race; this isn’t punching-down; it’s a reminder that they are in-control, and clearly it isn’t going well.
The problem race not receiving the proper deification and throwing a fit?
At $35, that very likely isn’t ‘real’ Kobe (unless the piece is very small)
The woman in Miami having a fit at the AA counter was in 2022, not recently.
That’s not a girl, that’s a hungry, hungry, hippo!
This is a couple of years old. I had a flight attendant tell me that she was flying on a Buddy Pass (family member). That would be interesting.
@Gary – Why does the departure gate in MIA matter? You normally don’t specify such details.
When the drugs where off you gotta know where your next high is coming from. Punta Cana must have had something real nice waiting for her.
