Done - Booked another flight on VX in first now because of what you said. One hour in the lounge or 5 hours in a better seat. Yes the price difference was $300 for 2 people, but we will try to have 7 drinks each

Flying VX now:
LAS-JFK
IAD-SFO
SFO-SAN

Can't wait ^

Trip report and photos will follow in late March
