Flying first class on Lufthansa, all paid for with frequent flier points.
The airlines in Honduras were TACA - Take a Coffin Along - and SAHSA - Stay
At Home Stay Alive. Both went out of business because insurance rates
became to high due to frequent crashes.
I survived many very, very marginal flights in Honduras and Guatemala! Now
I fly first class for anything half-way around the world - but I only use
frequent flier points.
