Sorry for being unclear. I am now in C all the way from LAX to MEL (instead of doing SYD-MEL in coach). I would have chained myself to the service desk across gate 70A if they would have tried to take that upgrade away from me.

Probably I was not making too much sense because the "complimentary" "beer" the bartender offered, was "Bud Light". Come again? I was asking for beer, not for foamy lemonade. At first I thought he was offering a proctological exam (Butt Light....)!

Anyway, there are some Aussies at the bar chucking back one Bud Light after the other... do you folks know no shame? Actually, brewing something akin to Butt Light carried the death penalty in Bavaria, at least in the 16th century...

OK, off to gate 77!
