Passengers:  “What’s the Catch?”

What do you do with free drink coupons that are about to expire that you can’t use? (they were for Southwest, but I was drink coupon2flying Sun Country earlier this month).

Give ’em to somebody else.

Drink Coupons and Gift Horses, or, “Take My Wife Free Drinks, Please”*

I walked over a couple of gates from where my Sun Country flight was departing at the Twin Cities’ Humphrey Terminal, and offered them to passengers on a Southwest flight.

The offer was unusual enough that I couldn’t immediately find any takers:  the first few people I offered the tix to clearly thought there was some catch, and declined.

I can’t decide if that’s a regional, “Minnesota thing” — any budding sociologists out there need a study subject??
