So I'm checking into the my flight at the United Premier section of SFO, and things are going just fine. I notice a man with a dog to the right of me. I take notice because it doesn't look like a seeing eye dog, and it doesn't have any sort of "clothing" on to identify itself as a special dog. It looks like this guy just brought his pet in here. Whatever - this is San Francisco. I turn back toward the counter and stop caring. Then I hear the ...
United Family Day is an annual occurence at the SFO Maintenance Base where United celebrates its employees and provides fun activities for families and employees including plane tours, car show, giveaways, and more.

My fiancé and I were super excited for this last part, as neither of us had ever flown on a A380, and we were keen to experience a flight on the biggest commercial plane ever! I planned to use a United systemwide "paper" upgrade converted for use on Lufthansa, but I screwed up, booking a fare code that was ineligible. However, we got extremely ...
