The flight is pretty long (8hr 47min) for domestic standards. Might as well start the trip out nicely and sit in first and have a few drinks on your way over. When else would you use 500-milers (gonna take 9 of them)...aint gonna find too many longer trips to use them on domestically.
BTW, is THIS the longest domestic (USA only) flight?
