i forgot who it was that said it though.
he was a keynote speaker at harvard, and a student asked him how to make a million dollars.
he answered very quickly take 100 million and invest it in an airline.
there is video of this, but like i said i can't place the name of the guy because i have been up since 4am and am seeing pink elephants.:p |
I remember seeing the article that was a transcript of it. Either way, yeah, he should have cited it. |

Since you've all butchered it and wrongly cited it I'll help you out.
The quote was:
'Whats the quickest way to become a millionaire? Start off a billionaire and set up an airline'
The man in question is grinning, ginger, woolly jumper wearing, PR-hungry idiot Richard Branson.

lol Aussies. You guys get so owned for overseas travel. SYD-ZAG is only US$1621. Which is AU$2100 right now. :) This would be leaving Dec 17th and coming back Dec 30th. |

See that's not half bad. I was thinking of leaving on the 19th and coming back early January. They will go down more though and I can easily wait until last minute to book. |

Yeah, I used random dates. One thing I would highly recommend, travel on Wednesdays or Thursdays. They are usually the cheapest days to fly. Friday, Sunday, and Mondays are the most expensive. |

| I'm loving the delta sky lounge/northwest world club perks lounge I'm at right now. It's really making me relax for my flight (mainly because it's all you can drink self service bar :gsmile: ) |
