A first time for everything (oh, and btw, to HELL with Amex Travel!)...

i'm blogging on a lufthansa flight from munich to jfk, currently over ireland... the service isn't cheap but it's not outrageous either and the connection is decent...

unfortunately, leaving belgrade earlier this afternoon, i had the same problem i had when leaving the states two weeks ago - a reservation but no retrievable e-ticket info... when leaving the states, i was able to get it fixed... leaving belgrade, i couldn't and ended up buying another ticket to the tune of over 1700 euros... this is the first time i've used american express travel for nearly 20 years and i didn't do it by choice... it will be the LAST time and they WILL be getting an earful from me on monday...
