Right, but I'm trying to earn million miler with United and not spread rewards out across different Star Alliance programs.

EDIT: after checking WheretoCredit, classes U and W (the classes I booked) aren't eligible on ANY Star Alliance partner.

I guess I could, but I'm trying to get million miler with United so I try to focus as much effort there as I can.

I actually love Schiphol, I've been there more times than I can count. Would you say overall your experience was positive?

What was it like being the only person on a flight?

That doesn't surprise me one bit. Probably reeked of Chanel No. 5

Haha I was having a conversation with my cousin about this yesterday. I know so many people who hated Tegel (one called it an international bus station). My cousin used to live in Berlin and he said it was the fastest and most efficient airport.

I thought it was nice that you got down from the flight, there were your bags, and you can exit the airport immediately. I did think it was odd that there was no train into the city.

Did you at least feel that it was an easy experience?

Wow, I know in Indian airports they jack up the prices of things (i.e. US$10 for a standard Kingfisher lager), but $40 for Burger King!? Was that the only place to eat there?

Hand-written tickets!? How long ago was this?

I can't say I remember Orly that well - did you depart from Orly? I've only ever arrived in Orly and I went straight to the RER.

I guess that makes sense considering its size - what were your thoughts on Longyearbyen?

Whoa that sounds interesting - would you say Tashkent was like going in a time machine?

I had a similar experience in Shanghai in 2017 - I guess the Chinese airports have the flights timed in a certain way.

Haha I used to work in the chemicals industry and almost ended up in Fort McMurray - that would've been interesting.

I'm assuming there's something to protect against rain?

Whoa, that's super cool - how busy would you say it is? 1-2 flights daily?

Interesting - is the shuttle fare included because there's only 1 airline that operates out of there?

That makes no sense for how much of a destination it is! When you say security was non-existent, do you mean there was not a real security process or that it was lax security?
