I played some hands with my partner today in a rather unusual setting. I was at home in Vancouver, he was on his way to Paris. Bridge at 35,000 feet.
Im sure it’s not a first and not the most unusual place someone has played but it added a new, fun twist to the game.

Bridge should be fun!

On the way back from Poland we (USA1 and USA2) had an individual on the plane, which took about three hours.

The Mile High Club would be a good name for a bidding system.

In my long-ago university days, the system of one particularly aggressive partnership was known as the "Miles Too High Club".

I'm trying to cook up something funny with "a giant leap for humanity" but I can't.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Beaner, how was the connection?
"Champions aren't made in gyms, champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. " - M. Ali

Clearly, I've been flying with the wrong airlines!
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.
