:D


If I sit next to him, I bet I'll get some free VDB vouchers and e-certs :p

My upgrade is now waitlisted. (V class)

Also waitlisted, H class

This UA non-status guy will not be upgrading, but is thankful for the E+ seat and drink certs. :)

The party will definitely be in E+, didn't I hear UA installed Xbox Kinect on their 763 fleet? lucky9876coins will be busting out his wicked moves to Poker Face! ;)

FriendlySkies, just don't let iluv2fly offer you his breadstick(s), as he's known to do...:eek:
H class?!?!? Darn you! So this should actually be an interesting experiment as to how upgrade clearance actually works. Anyone else booked above a "V" class?

C'mon now, I'll be too busy listening to Channel 9 making sure Captain Denny doesn't miss any calls. ;)

You're no fun-shhhhhhhh ;)

New to Flyertalk, but avid reader of Lucky's blog.

Put me down for the dinner and the pre-party only. I live in the East Bay and so will drive. If anyone needs a ride from anywhere else (even from SJC to restaurant), I would be happy to help. Just send me a PM to arrange.

To answer the status questions, I am not staying at the Hyatt, and wish I were Hyatt Diamond or foreign *G. I do, however, have one RCC pass I can gift.

Welcome to FlyerTalk (and did I mention you're awesome?:D)! Look forward to meeting you.

Alright - assuming no work situations come up at the last minute: I'm in!

I won't be able to make it to the dinner, as my flight gets in too late, but I should be around for at least breakfast/RCC/UA760/afterparty.

To answer lucky's questions:
1) No - Staying at the Westin SFO Airport just down the road
2) No
3) Yes - RCC Member

I'll also staying over at the ORD IC on Saturday night - I assume the F&F rate is the best way to go on this? (It prices the standard room out at $81+, which I feel like is probably the best deal around...)

Wow, I can't believe that rate is available for booking < 7 days out. One bedroom suite is going for $149+. Nice.

Just in case anyone needs to book cheaper, I know Priceline 4* ORD Sat night was going for $46 ($60 all in) a few days ago.

Forgive the ignorant question from someone who rarely stays at an IC: What is the F&F rate, and how does one get it?

Sorry! I meant to edit my post earlier with the link.

Intercontinental Hotels Group Senior VP of Marketing Steve Sickel shared his Friends & Family link with Randy a couple years ago and Randy shared it with his friends and family via his blog. So, it's legit. Nothing to worry about IDing your friend or family. Bookmark it. ^

I am - burned a CR1.

Rides to Max's Burlingame
 

I'm in the northern portion of the Peninsula. If you need rides to/from BART/Caltrain stations for the dinner, please PM/e-mail me directly.

Closest BART/Caltrain station to dinner - Millbrae

My upgrade cleared overnight, I am in H class. Guess I'll be a snob sitting in FC, but I'll join the party wherever it is. (after I enjoy my hot nuts).

BTW, I'm in 4F currently. I usually avoid middle seats on the ghetto bird due to crap overhead bins, but as I figured easy aisle access would be preferred.

I cleared last night on a V fare (1K).

I have cleared also

Anyone flying in on UA973 on Friday like me?

Upgrade cleared. 2J for me.

3C on the late ORD-LAX on Saturday.

Still waitlisted on FRA-ORD, BOS-SFO!! :eek:

Hyatt bathrobe and slippers .. is that ok? :D

-David

Don't forget the Hyatt showercap :p


I'll be in 3A on the flight. I'll also be in the RCC on Friday afternoon, before heading to the Hyatt..

sorry to say we will have to back out of dinner
 

We thought Mr. s would have had some work by now but that hasn't been the case. So we just can't do it. Hope it's a great time!

We are traveling on Saturday for a family situation so may see some of you at SFO. Hope to fly with the good Captain at some point!

Thanks!!! Bookmarked.

Looks like the party in F is growing :cool:. 5E and 5F for us (easy access to both aisles).

I agree with others that it may be more fun to be in coach, but with the exhorbitant coach fares, the F saver award was just too tempting for this flight.

Since we're on outright awards, though, so we can't contribute to the upgrade clearance experiment.

Looking forward to meeting many of you at Dinner on Friday and seeing some of you again!

Good to see you'd be joining us ryandc99! It's always a fun event w/capt Denny.

This is a great way to meet a lot of Bay Area FTers (and others too ;) )! I'm glad you'll be joining in the fun.

I'll be on this flight, too -- a few rows in back of you unless there's a miraculous UDU.

Just discovered this thread and booked a standard Y award for the flight -- right now in 12D. Sounds like too much fun to miss. Two tasks remain: finding a flight home and convincing my wife to let me go. I'd say 30% chance I'll be in attendance.

As a newly minted 1k (based on 100k+ on CO last year), I'm learning the hard way that 1k status, while indicated on my account and in reservations, doesn't transfer to the UDU process. I wasn't "waitlisted" until 72hrs on my Friday flights, so I called 1k. Unfortunately, it was after all of you folks cleared NF. I'm waitlisted on a W fare.

Flying to SJC on Friday afternoon. Arriving at 6:30pm, have a ow car rental to SFO. Hope to be in time for dinner! Hoping more to snag a vdb and get rerouted to SFO! :D

I am in 4A (thanks karung99!!)

If you are staying at the SFO Hyatt, and would like to find a cheaper rate, check the HR SFO Facebook. Advertising rooms for $109..

Hey all -- can't believe I didn't see this until now. If there's still room, please count me and +1 for dinner. Unfortunately work commitments means I won't be able to fly with you all but still looking forward to seeing faces old and new!

Great!^ There's still plenty of room for dinner -- the private room we has holds up to 50 people. If more people can join us, great!

lucky did you clear?

Change fuw3 +1 guest to confirmed for dinner. See you all there! Thanks!

Count me in for the dinner
 

Lucky, Please count me in for the dinner. Looking forward to meet all of you on Friday.

Let's hope for a miracle!

aaaah ....as expected this lowly T fare is still firmly planted in Y.

Would any local be able to give Captain Denny and his FO a ride from their hotel to Max's (they're only half a mile apart)? If so, please shoot me a PM.

Thanks!
