So it’s 10pm ET and I’m sitting in the RCC waiting for the IAD-LHR flight. I have no idea what nasty food we’ll be served, but I’ll be sure to take an iPhone picture! 14A&B are the seats. It’s a UA 777. No fancy new seat, but at least there’s some entertainment. From there we’ll [...]

Back on United TPA-ORD-ALB
Well…I headed back to work a little earlier than expected, so flew TPA-ORD-ALB a day early. TPA-ORD was ok. Typical crew, typical Ted plane, typical “go to sleep” early morning flight crew attitude. I especially love when they close that little window in the forward bulkhead to (in my opinion) discourage interaction. We all know [...]
US Airways (US) DCA-TPA
Wow. What a difference a change of crew makes! Not to mention it’s a normal time for me to be awake right now.
So I was completely wrong about the crew probably remaining the same. My guess is that ALB-DCA was a reserve crew given the overnight and short hop prior to being done for the [...]
US Airways ALB-DCA
So it’s off to Tampa for my annual trip with my dad to spring training. I’m flying down from Albany via Reagan. They are flying US nonstop from Philly.
Typically I’d fly UA through ORD and IAD on a trip like this for some extra miles and an extra segment. Unfortunately, that’s not an option [...]
ORD-SFO
Wow. What can I say? Absolutely, positively, fantastic! That being said…issues abounded, but the spirit of everyone onboard more than compensated for the issues in my opinion.
If you don’t mind, I’d rather address the issues first…and then get on to the good stuff. In the spirit of being thankful, I’ll attempt to keep the negative [...]
RIC-ORD
Only on a FlyerTalk adventure does the cabin erupt in applause after the safety demo…and after the “beer, wine, and liquor is available for $6 line”…and when the FA pokes her head out of the galley to make sure we are still paying attention. Little does she know there are more 1K drink chits than [...]
IAD-RIC
Well…what can I say about a 25 minute flight? Oh…ask Ben where the emergency door goes!
JFK-IAD
Blogging from onboard a flight is fun. Really Currently somewhere between NY and DC. The CRJ200 has to be the worst plane in the United fleet. At least the ERJs have a single seat side.
The very nice lady next to me has a young daughter as a lap child. Woe is me. [...]
JFK-IAD-RIC-ORD-SFO
My alarm went off at 3:15am this morning. For those of you who know me…it wasn’t pretty. Drove to JFK and made it in record time. Even the GW was empty.
Now I’m in the United Red Carpet Club waiting for other Flyertalkers to join me. Decent view from here. I’ve seen a China Air [...]
