The summer I was 16 years old, I flew Braniff Airlines to Amsterdam to for summer with grandparents. While there, Braniff went bankrupt. I ended up holed up in a hotel in Paris waiting for Air France to put an engine on their last plane in Europe. I spent a week in Paris,was able to spend 2 days at the Louvre and had free hotel meals everyday. The rest of the Texans on the flight hated the French table wine. I asked for extra water and traded water for wine. Happy 16 year old. Party in my room.
