A first for everything....

Someone had to be first.

This is probably the first - and likely the only - post on Casinomeister from 35,000 feet above the Earth.

I am winging my way to Dublin aboard a Lufthansa flight equipped with Connexxion by Boeing - they call it high-speed, I say it's a bit slow but certainly useable... and best of all, it's free because Boeing has already announced that they are cancelling the service because not enough people would cough up $26.95 per long-haul flight to make the business worthwhile.

Ah well, one can always dream... perhaps some other company will one day take up the business - or perhaps offer it for free in business class or something... in the meantime I am going to enjoy posting here for the next 10 historic hours

Can you see the normal banners or the US banners?

How are the slots from up there? Does the altitude help?

Are you sure it's LUFTHANSA? I can't imagine anywhere in GERMANY taking 10 hours to get to DUBLIN?

Are you on a codeshare with UNITED from the States?

Nowhere in Europe takes 10 hours and LUFTHANSA doesn't fly direct to DUBLIN from the States, unless it's a codeshare.

What plane are you on? Where the hell are you?

Are you drunk?

I see US banners... good point...

I am on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand to Dublin, Ireland via Frankfurt, Germany.

One small step for Spearmaster, one giant leap for gamblers!

BTW, I lied. We're only at 32,000 feet... LOL...
