AH, thanks for spotting that one. It's a typo, it's supposed to be UA6344, and yes, I know that SEA-PDX-EUG-PDX is in a small EM2 on UX
It's my first time in EUG, stopping over to visit some friends, so it's not for racking up miles. Actually I'm doing well on this ticket, I have a lot of new airport/airlines/aircrat on it:
* Frist time on 343, EM2, 773, 74E and a BMI ERJ on GLA-CPH, and possible getting on a 73W and 764.
* First time in SEA, EUG, NRT, PVG and PEK, and possibly also ADD.
* First time flying with NH/OZ and possibly ET.
The "possibly"-stuff is that I have an extension from BKK to ADD/JRO for some work, which may prove interesting if it happens (won't know untill I'm getting close to BKK).
I'm really excited, as it'll be my first time on SK's C-class on the 343. Last time I flew them in C on longhaul it was the last few months of 767's to the US, and also, having read many good words about NH, I've decided to use them on SFO-NRT.
Also, I've religiously avoided UA to the extent I can, but having read in a few places that if you fly them on intra-Asia on their longhaul extansions, it's supposedly a nice experience, I have given them the benefit of the doubt and stuck them in on NRT-HKG.
Last time I did this I did SFO-ICN-SIN in one go, and that is decidedly way to far in one go, so I've tried to break this one up with breaks here and there, and the longest bits are now CPH-SEA and SFO-NRT.
