I travel the world buying precious stones and jewels for our brokerage firm.Last year I was flying to Shanghai once a month and I really miss my agent friend, she was always the highlight of my day and on one particular trip I surprised her with a string of South Seas Black Pearls, she in turn surprised me by upgrading me to first class, it was fabulous. From then on, on every trip I would bring her pearls and anytime she had a seat she would upgrade my husband and me. It was a good deal given that the pearls were worth only 5k or 6k and the seats were worth like 15k.
This was not done in any sneaky way or anything, I even brought the pearls back for her bosses from time to time and she only gave us seats that would have been empty anyway, so needless to say I sure would like to find my friend and start this deal over again.
My friends initials are H.J. and anyone who knows agents would know her.
Thanks for reading!

Awesome Jewel Trader!
Don't let the first wanker's comment bother you. If that is the "sketchiest" thing he has ever heard of then he hasn't heard much.
Lot's of con's try to trick the airlines into first class seats by actual dirty plays and plain ole lies, but your way is neither. If you are doing a nice thing for your friend and your friend is doing a nice thing for you and the bosses don't mind and the seat was going empty anyway, the good on you mate.
As for your friend, I was a NWA pilot before I got a real job and I will check up on her. If I find her I will refer her to this page.
