bhatnasx posted: this is kind of a cheesy one, but i'd like to see menu samples. i'd like to know whether or not i should eat before getting on the plane (unlike some, i don't think airline food is all that bad, unless, of course it's in Y) - also, i'm curious about the different meal choices. ideally, i'd like to eat the low carb meals in the air, but am hesitant about requesting them because i don't know what they are.

I agree it'd be nice to see the menu samples, but what "low carb meals" are you referring to?? There've been separate threads discussing the dismaying ABSENCE of low-carb choices on airlines (and the amazing new finding of low-carb Atkins chocolate clusters in the NW Worldclubs). But if you're usually in F, you can pretty much count on having some selection of meat or other animal flesh, salad, and/or green vegetables to pick off the tray and approximate a moderately low carb meal.

Getting back to the thread topic, of all the suggestions above the two I would most appreciate would be the ability to search for and book upgradable seats with a date range (especially on coveted high-season international flights) without having to call back every day to recheck and waste my and service rep time, and the ability to look at/change seats on-line even if you didn't book on-line (e.g., because you had to call to book!).

I'll add that having a column on the flight display indicating "WP miles earned", like Continental states "One Pass miles earned" for each leg of the flight would also save time for those trying to book flights based on max miles earned or seeking miles to a certain goal.
