BA travel
On a BA flight once I noticed that my boarding pass said "world traveller VIP".

I thought "play it cool, Browser, and you might just get away with it".

So I asked the flight attendant to please direct me to the world traveller VIP section, and she was kind enough to tell me that it meant "economy" and I was already standing in it.

Edit: and so I was immediately filled with sheer single-minded self-pity.

Was once travelling to Argentina with a collegue on Varig
And we got upgraded to first class. We were the only 2 people in there.

I was wondering aloud whether we'd get a spiffy washbag etc, as they usually give out. My colleague didn't seem bothered.

"Watch this" I said.

I called the steward and said 'Hi, I forgot my toothbrush, you don't have anything on board you can let me have, do you?"

The steward smiled broady, and said "Of course, just a minute, I'll see what I can find".

Ha ha, I'm getting a spiffy washbag! Will it be a leather one, with some nice aftershave? Can't wait. Fuck you, you didn't ask, so you won't get!

Steward comes back, and hands me a crappy disposable toothbrush.

My colleague for some reason finds this amusing.

Varig
They were a truly fucking abysmal airline.

I'll have you know I'm a Flying Blue member.
I have an Ivory membership for KLM, Air France and other Skyteam operators.
Sounds vaguelly good until you realise it's like Nector Points and you have to travel about 20,000 miles a year to get one upgrade to a slightly bigger seat with a free newspaper.

Me too
Ivory is such a nice way to say white, i.e. bog standard.

Indeed.
What gets me is I got no benefit whatsoever from it but just got a few more SPAM emails. It even stopped working after the first time I used it for electronic check-in.
I got mine because I was flying to Scandiwegia about three or four times a year, thinking I might get something from it but I was nowhere near. I think you'd have to fly every week to the US to qualify for an upgrade (the miles I mentioned in my previous post probably weren't correct before anyone gets pedantic).

I feel I had to share the above as it is in the spirit of QOTW.
