The Ultimate Upgrade
Tuesday -
LAX - STL (757 ex TWA) 26D
STL - DTW (MD80) 21D
DTW - LAX GULFSTREAM IV
This was the best upgrade ever, my boss found out that the corporate jet was taking talent from Los Angeles to Detroit for an event that I was putting on. The person was flying commercial to Canada after the event, so he was able to get me and my team onto the corporate jet for the trip back.
That is the way to travel - our car pulled up to the plane and the ground crew took our bags directly to the cargo hold. 1 flight attendant to 7 pax. It was a10:00pm flight so we just had hot pizza, sandwiches, grilled vegis, cookies and brownies. We watched Pirates of the Caribean on the big screen in the back of the plane (which is where the couches are). The pilots were really nice and let me hang out in the cockpit for about an hour where they gaved me a tour of all of the equipment. We landed at LAX and pulled into the hanger (right near the American hangers). Then a car took me to the main term inal to get my car (parking lot 6).
I am sure this will never happen again - but it was great....
