I hope the next open world video game that uses quick travel makes it so your character gets on a bus or plane and then slams a bunch of pills and booze, rendering then unconscious.

poisonpill posted:How much is duty? Those liquor prices never seem much better than the local Costco. Liquor is, I think, 3% plus some fudge factor based on location, cigarettes vary a lot depending on the state, but generally about $1.50 to $2.50 per pack.

I like flying to Mexico, but the stretch from the airport terminal to where the resort buses park is always such a surreal thing. It's like the D-Day beach landing, but instead of dodging mortars and bullets, it's people trying to sell you grossly overpriced cervezas and time shares.

Last time I took a flight the bar I got drinks at was apparently only allowed to serve people 3 drinks. Some dude managed to have 3 drinks before security then had more after security, and wasn't allowed to fly. loving Canada I tell you.

Last year in singapore I got my wife so drunk at the airport lounge I had to use a wheelchair to get her to the gate. We are poors, so when I spring for lounge access, I'm not happy until my mental tally puts drinks/food consumed to balance/exceed the fee.

Robo Reagan posted:have you never been on an 8+ hour flight? This. I mean, you're stuck in a box that smells of your neighbor's body odor for half a day and you pretty much can't move. Even if you're not claustrophobic or anything like that it's not an enjoyable experience. Drinking is like time traveling. It's not hard to understand why people like to get hammered for long flights (especially in coach).

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:Airport lounges are cool but the rest of the clientele are total windbags ... its fun if you enjoy the company at a country club i guess Yeah it's not like a country club at all. There's no old ladies who suck their teeth after watching you drink your second glass of Chardonnay. Instead, it's full of people who have faced the futility of their existence and realized, while getting drunk during their flight delay, that the number of packaged meals on an airplane had more control over their lives than themselves.

Lounges are good. I just got status with AA so I have only been in a few. I travel alot for work and I like to tell people I'm a high end male escort. Always leads to an interesting conversation. I'm pretty good looking and a former college athlete so it works out. Occasionally I'll tell people I'm in transportation and logistics for a major cocaine conglomerate. E: I'm responsible for a region so most of my flights are like 3 hours max, but I just had a client in Europe and one in Denver. Wow, 7 to 10 hour flights are a whole different animal. Next time I'm eating a weed brownie or something. Idk. Waroduce fucked around with this message at 08:30 on May 28, 2017 |

My wife got a travel credit card and now we get unlimited access to airport lounges for a year. I felt very uncomfortable the first time I went in, but then I started getting that sweet sweet free booze and now I look down on poor people.

I remember getting wasted at the airport in Reykjavik at 5am when we noticed it was two for one highballs. Once you've had a few gin and tonics and the staff have put out the candles you just had to imagine the sun was going down instead of coming up. nowadays I don't give a poo poo if the sun comes up  but I fly regularly now for work

We were flying into Denver with horrible cross winds and turbulence. I just kept telling myself if he is calm, I am calm. Smoking lounges (the few that are left) always have the worst ventilation.

Me and a buddy were trying to down 100 drinks each during a three segment 8 hour trip. We booked it this way to maximize lounge time. We also booked an airline with free booze onboard. We think we stopped around 60 or so. We ended up at the hotel with none of our luggage. We left hand luggage on the plane and didn't pick up the checked luggage. The airline had it all sent to our hotel before we woke up the next day. Would do it again. I love the airport lounge. They don't complain when I show up six hours early to get blasted on complimentary booze before my flight. Here is the lounge I was in a couple of days ago. It was pretty empty.  I drank a few margaritas and two bottles of champagne. I blacked out the whole way home! Thanks lounge! yoloer420 fucked around with this message at 12:15 on May 29, 2017 |

I've only been in a lounge once. United Club in Chicago. My fiancé and I had a 10 hour layover so we figured why not. Spent the entire time taking turns getting alcohol and mixing it with the different drinks they have in the machine while playing Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU tablet. Was a good time. I made sure we drank, ate, and used enough WiFi to get the most out of the money we spent.
