Fly For Me
ah yes Mr & Mrs Jones, here are your seats..... | |
Often i have advance booked flights & holidays in order to get good discounts. but, working as a consultant there have been quite a few times i have had to cancel my plans & have got zero (or nearly zero) refunds for cancelllations. The tickets are always untransferable & they use your passport to
check that you are the name on the ticket.
We need a website that allows you to auction off your tickets to same named folks who live in roughly the same area.
i accept that such a site would be great for me & all the other Andy Jones's (there is one sat next to me in the office today), but would be useless for Mr Xeon Pxylzart.

Why do they need to live in the same area? Auction them off to anyone who's prepared to make it to the airport (e.g. Would I drive from Glasgow to London to get a plane from Heathrow to New York rather than Glasgow if I saved £200 on the cost of the flight? You betcha I would!)

true, true. i put "roughly the same area", but your right. i might pay to fly to amsterdam if someone was auctioning a round the world ticket that started there. |

Do we have any statisticians around? I'd like to see the odds, generally speaking. |

I'd let the high bidder take my other half and my credit card, too. No, wait! Shucks. |

can extend the site for unwanted monogrammed gifts too. what am i bid for a blue XL bathrobe, with AJ on it ? |

There are 8 Andrew Smiths working in my 1000 strong organisation. |

There's one other person with my real name who works for IBM, and I've seen a license plate for an Isuzu dealer with the same name, plus if I ego-search, I find several famous ones... |
