After confirming that we were the only passengers for the long flight to Hong Kong, just before leaving the Swiss First Class lounge, the agents insisted on giving us new boarding passes, since apparently one of the seats we were originally assigned to was inoperable.
One of the Cathay Pacific agents escorted us to the nearby boarding gate. My wife boarded first, then the flight attendants welcomed me by name, and brought me to my seat. My wife was ...
I was getting some work done this morning on UA 517 from Atlanta to Chicago, and I had things organized on my tray table quite nicely. I had my 11" MacBook Air on the left, where I was working. On the right, I had my iPhone propped up against my Diet Coke can so I could watch some video podcasts while getting work done.
As I was working, the flight attendant came over to me, and he handed me an updside down coffee cup with a portion of the cup ...

Thus, on my most recent trip to Brussels and London, I flew in United ...
Given that food is prominent in the name of this blog, and good quality food is something I strive to find while traveling, when I had a little time on an O'Hare layover, I wanted to explore the Garden and feature here so maybe others can explore it.
The O'Hare Urban Garden is a unique concept in that its truly local food in a place that primarily features large quantities of fast food and junk food which is the norm at airports. Items grown in the garden are currently ...
Well what started out to be a simple mileage run from London to Denver on UNITED, turned out to be a bit more exciting. I booked the following flights:
LHR-ORD-DEN
with a return
DEN-EWR-LHR
I was using two systemwide upgrades to confirm all the flight including the CO flights, I was looking forward to checking out the CO Business First product.
Then the forecast was not looking good to fly thru New York, so I called UNITED and got rerouted via ORD on ...
