Looks like im going to start my drive from Sac early.
did you try and change you seats under your itinerary or under olci. if under your itinerary, it won't take if there's been an a/c swap. try logging into ocli and scrolling down to seats and select it form there and if it takes, reprint your bp.

It's a good thing that we had seat assignments. When I got to the gate, $400 in compensation was the offer to bump. 20 volunteers were needed.

Unfortunately, I did not get my upgrade, but I'm enjoying quality entertainment from pax that are annoyed at losing their seats.. The joys of flying.

We've also got some DYKWIA pax. One mentioned how all of her business travel is on other airlines, and this is the reason she doesn't fly UA..

Both. It said 664 was unavail for check-in. Im not complaining right now since 664 was overbooked and I volunteered to route through Denver. An extra hour in TPA, $400 travel voucher, and seats in E+. I call that a epic win for a first time MR.

Sitting near E71 @ TPA, working off the free wireless. Will be on 795 to IAD then 225 to SFO. Goin' to get hot dogs and roam around, I'm carrying around a HMS host bag.

Edit: 4:24p EDT, TPA ramp is closed since a lightning storm is hovering over the field. Outgoing flight to ORD has been delayed.

Thanks to everybody who joined in on SFO-ORD-TPA-IAD-SFO! It was definitely a fun trip, with 7/12 seats occupied by FTers on the ORD-TPA flight! We should have made out with three skykits, so this run has already paid for itself! I'll post the photo shortly. Great to meet everybody, and safe travels!

Sounds like you all had a great run. Nice to finally meet you FriendlySkies! I ended up with 2 skykits and a $400 bump on my turnaround flight. A good day for all.

Pat, we did have a great time on this run, Karung99+1 enjoy chatting with you, and she is getting to like doing MRing now, she need extra 15K to reach 1K either do one International or do 3 Coast to Coast or Hawaii.

We were lucky, get UDU all the way, got back home almost 2 a.m. and bit tired.

Any suggestion for next MRing again

You should do another TPA run on Halloween weekend. 10/30.. I'm also a bit tired. HunterSFO and I made a pitstop at In and Out after leaving SFO. I got to sleep around 2am, and woke up at 6:30.. He had to be up at 3:30..

Great to meet you!

I should have mentioned that my footrest was broken on 664. I only used it in the last 40 minutes of the flight, so I forgot about it.. Hoping to get an email for 795.. Perhaps we can also get one for the FA on 225. I don't know what was up with her, but she, as well as the entire crew had an attitude..

Great to fly with you!

We might do that again on Oct 30 give me your Itinerary, it was fun meeting both you and Hunter and John too.

All and all, it was a fun day traveling with Pat89339,goalie,HunterSFO,FriendlySkies and other, please post the picture that we took at SFO
