Old story...

but worth the chuckle as 2015 comes to a close....

“Eastern China Airlines officials only recently figured out the man’s scheme after noticing his single ticket being re-booked 300 times over one year....”

Yeah, and I so believe these dimwits invented gunpowder, etc, etc.

I call his liver first!

You’d think airport parking rates would have discouraged this scheme.

[right way right]

The Chinese are very “thrifty”.

[TauntedTiger]

In a small way, reminds me of a Bloody Mary marathon that I had in Atlanta!!!

Xi’an, home of the Terra Cotta Warriors. Was there last year in December.

A man in China purchased a first-class plane ticket - and used it to eat a year's worth of free meals

Ho Lee Fuk!

If the Worker’s Paradise had a food stamp program, unemployment insurance, minimum wage, earned income tax credits and Social Security this guy wouldn’t have to work so hard to feed himself.

I have a chinese neighbor who would go to the food bank and take from the poor. I knew her husband well and he makes a nice living as a union AP mechanic for....not saying.
He makes 80k-90k before bonus's and other bens and a paid off mortgage so....
I reported her, and told her about it too.
They no longer talk to me, that was expected.
Chinese people will not ‘lose face’ by admitting being wrong, never.

Well it’s been years, but the clubs at the terminal only need to see a membership card.

For terminal access, any old airline reservation gets you in, so he could spread it around. Southwest, for example would never care, if it is via the website.

But airport transportation in not cheap or free.

“Ching, ching Chinaman, sitting on a fence.

Trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents.”

[envisio]

Good on him.
If he can find a way to legally do better for himself, I say hear hear!

[hecticskeptic]

I would have thought the downside to this would have made the scheme a waste of time.... time spent cancelling/rebooking, traveling to airport and going through security, airport parking, eating same food day after day etc.....

My brother and his wife took free bump tickets from an airline a few years ago. On their free trip, they purpose booked a nearly full flight and got another set of free tickets. I think they pulled off over 6 free trips over the years from the one ticket.

[mountn man]

I thought you were Scottish...

When I get first class travel I drink a full years of alcohol...In one sitting.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

When we go to the first class lounge there is always someone at a desk checking tickets. You would think that person would have recognized the man after a while.
