so... I upgraded by using 30k miles + $600 copay on my 14-hour flight.

well, I wasn't counting on the fact that I so busy for two days prior to the flight.

when I got to the airport, I barely had time to go through security. I was the second to last to board the plane. (the last one was a lady who was having a dispute with the duty-free shop employee)

I sat down in 5A of the 777-300ER. Drank a glass of OJ. I closed my eyes and didn't even remember the plane taking off.

13 hours later, I woke up just before landing. I was still in my original upright position. The flight attendant came over sand said that they had a bet to see when I would wake up. They said that they saw me "happily" snoring away, they didn't want to disturb me.

I reached for my phone to see what time it was... (yikes! I fell asleep so quickly that I didn't even put my phone into airplane mode) I turned it off and went to the lavatory. Threw some water on my face and I was fully awake for sure. The flight attendants were almost done stowing eveyrthing, but allowed me to have a cup of coffee(from a paper cup).

The plane laneded shortly after that..... so.. did I really just waste 30k miles and $600?
