Now I need to decide a direct economy or connecting business class for domestic. This direct flight will let me leave home 3 hours later to catch the same international flight. Time to think. I don't get to travel business class that often.
If I travel econmy with business redumption, would they still allow 2 free 70lb luggage as they would on business international? I am planning on using full 140lb luggage allowance.
Thanks
FWIW, personally I'd leave earlier and take the connection, if you're ponying up the miles for Business. I just did EWR-OKC in the 145 (be sure you snag an A seat if you do it) - It's not as bad as a CRJ, but it's not the way to start off a trip if you can avoid it. And beware - any carry-on larger than a backpack (and not an overstuffed backpack) will have to go under-seat or it WILL be gate-checked. Anything resembling a real roll-aboard simply isn't going to fit, including rolling computer bags. Those overheads are beyond tiny, and they get smaller heightwise as you insert the bag - important if you bring a lot of electronics with you.
