It's the only way (for me) to travel.

Sweet success! Flew to Vegas and back for free! When you travel as a non-rev, you are at the mercy of the traveling public and the kindness of gate agents.

Leg 1 - MSP to LAS:
Ice-queen gate agent upgrades me to first-class. Who knew? 

(Broken) Leg 2 - LAS to MSP (11:55 Flight): Snot-bag gate agent is worthless on a flight I have no hope of getting on. Tells me she's sure I've been automatically listed on the next flight out (I wasn't), but can't check, because she pulled a sammich out of her ass that she couldn't wait to go eat. 

Leg 3 - LAS to MSP (2:30 Flight): Found a couple of very nice gate agents that get the whole "non-rev" thing, and ended up with a great Exit Row seat. They were as happy as me! 

Next time I fly, I'm bringing treats for the nice gate agents, and ass-sammiches for the mean ones.
