I'm with Rick Lee. Been to a few places, and would love to see a lot more. I just loathe the entire commercial airline/airport travel process (especially when multiple legs are involved). Even on the occasions when I've upgraded to first, it is still a pain overall IMO (shuttles, TSA, customs, waiting, jet lag, living out of a suitcase, cell-phones/SIM cards, currency exchange, being trapped in a germ-tube for hours, etc.). It can wear on a person.
We just need Joe A to sell his boss on the idea of donating seats on dead-leg flights to fellow Pelicans! Slumming it on a Challenger 600, with no security/waiting probably wouldn't suck.

Yeah, even with the above mentioned issues, taking a first class flight on Emirates and British Airways is on my bucket list. Might have to do the expat thing in Dubai for a couple years!
