Upgraded to first class as usual
Good morning LAX
Good morning SFO
Coming back home, I decided to go psychopath mode: OAK-SEA-LAX, first time doing this crazy routeing and upgraded to first class
Watermelon feta chicken salad
Haven't been to SEA N lounge since Feb this year.. I regret trying this three bean salad, let me put it in a polite way: that's how some SF/LA streets smell like.
Some planespotting at N lounge
Everyone wants food when it's 7pm dinner time!
AS1196 upgraded to first class
Pork sandwich for supper
Final approach into LAX
The terminal is already empty.. what a long day for me..

Riding crowded free shuttle into LAX, cheap parking comes at a price..
Got the same aircraft which I ripped the window frame off a week ago LOL, good to know they duct taped it at least! (the plane retired from AS fleet a few days after this flight)
Gate agent didn't clear UG list although there was open F seats..
Can anyone explain why BART fare inspection choose to HOLD THE TRAIN while checking tickets?? So annoying! Whenever they do this, I always miss my connecting train to Berkeley and have to wait 15min for the next one..
That's like an open invitation for fare evasion..
And train cancellations is the new norm..
Rare to see mainline aircraft on SFO-LAX route, it's always hit or miss

Watching the train leaving when you have a 8am class to catch..
Luckily reached campus on time
Since it's a Friday and I enjoy flying (a better way saying I have nothing else to do), I decided to fly OAK-SEA-LAX home again!
Flying over bay bridge
And UC campus
Protein platter for meal service
Half way pouring lemon ice tea, the machine ran out...
AS1196 SEA-LAX again, this time gate agent didn't clear UG list so the plane left with empty F seats
Very fresh salad bowl
Hotpot for the weekend with friend.. he was impressed I am still alive with this commute..

Flight delayed due to first officer scheduling and maintenance issues. Things like this get on my nerve quickly, as I have a 10am class to catch and we take attendance..
Fake boarding time
Drinking at 7am to relieve my stress..
Reached class at 1001am! So lucky I made it!
Going back home via SEA again.. I thought I chose a window seat..
Catching up some hw with safety card for graphics. Feels like an undergrad again..
Flying over Downtown Seattle
N lounge
Last flight of the day back to LA
No meal service offered due to late night departure
The shuttle to where I parked was PACKED.. what a long day.

I don't have any class/events for that day, but I was deeply concerned about my midterm score so I flew to campus to attend prof's office hours (Tu/Th only)
Stuck in main cabin due to last minute SDC
Crew took REALLY good care of me, went above and beyond.
Some Halloween decoration at SFO customer service desk
Pork belly with rice for a quick lunch
Prof gave me some tips and encouraged me not to lose heart. Of course I won't, otherwise I wouldn't choose transportation as my career, right?
Upgraded on the way back.
