I had a flight on Monday using same-day confirmed (awesome Diamond perk), but flying standby because the flight I wanted was oversold.  As soon as I arrived at the SkyClub they confirmed my seat, which was ironic because five minutes earlier the gate agent said it was impossible.  Needless to say I got on my flight to DTW and was upgraded on my second leg to PHX.  On my flight to DTW I got stuck in a middle seat, but they put me to an exit row to avoid complete misery.  I ...

Even though I was in economy class, the weekend made me realize that a lot is missing on United/Continental.

First, I had all ...

In October, I traveled to New Orleans (out of Munich) for a few days to attend the wedding of a family member.

I had an unused return ticket stored, and flew BusinessElite from Munich to Atlanta.  I then connected on an award ticket (I know, right?) from Atlanta to MSY.  Shocking enough, this was my first experience with an award ticket after the upgrade program started, and at five days out from each respective segment, I was upgraded.  This trips were on a Thursday ...
