Important update to the book: Southwest Airlines is no longer accepting the old “gold” drink tickets as of 9/1/2011. I know because I tried to use one today and was shot down. I asked the lady what I was supposed to do with the old ones and she said to use them as wrapping paper. Bitch.
Anyway, DO NOT buy the old ones on eBay! You’ll be throwing away your money. Only buy the new ones with expiration dates (pictured on the right above).
