regrets

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

I am so not flying that long in coach ever again. At least not on united. The food sucked, they only brought the booze around twice, and international coach has less legroom than domestic. No, honestly. I upped my seat to the section in coach with “extra” legroom, and it was only about what I’d had in domestic. Add bad food and no individual entertainment, and it’s sooo not worth it. Not even for 820 something before taxes and whatnot. Nope nope nope.

So that’s one solid vote against united for international travel.

In happier news, You can fly business class on Air NZ for about 6200 us. Not bad. Only 6 times what I paid. Out of auckland, to NYC. Not bad at all.

In more realistic happier news, this trip made me premier on united. So on the off chance I fly anywhere the rest of this year or all of next year, I get to go thru the speedy checki n line. And i get some lame-o upgrade vouchers. And something else. Oh, yeah, a shiny new card and stuff. Yay.

luggage limbo

Friday, November 17th, 2006

I spent about 8 hours at dulles airport yesterday. My poor luggage spent closer to 24 hours there- maybe more. And now it’s lost.

My poor luggage.

Or perhaps the more correct thing to say is poor j.

Guess who forgot to pack a clean shirt and undies in her carryon?

Yep.

But I got an excuse to do some more shopping, at least.

forget lost- try trapped

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006
I'm stuck at LAX! I hate LAX! whoever ordered up airport wackyness for 48 hours into my trip home is now also on my magic hate list. Maybe we get to board and go soon now. I hope. j.

last minute messes

Sunday, November 5th, 2006
I'm doing my packing- still. And piling my trash by the door. But what I need to be doing is actually packing. And studying. And figuring out where I'm staying tomorrow night. Ok, and getting ready to go out. And alerting ... [Continue reading this entry]
