Yeah, I thought of that, but, after reviewing my reservation, but it has not been booked in a form amenable to upgrade stretching. Oh, well.

Me. We'll see. As I said, I won't be upset riding in the back. Just happy to get out and do a bit of MRing.

Folks quick question. If I am able to do this & arr ORD on US & dpt SFO on US
how hard is it to make the connection & do I have to change terminals & do the security crap all over again ?

Again keep in mind I'm non rev & can't book seats ahead of time. As matter of fact the US flts are not looking good so this is why I'm holding out & most likely will miss but I am watching as time gets closer.

ORD: airside. US comes into T2 along with all the UX flights, so there's a shuttle to C gates or you can walk in about 5 minutes to B gates in T-1 and then another 5 minutes to C gates (I walk quickly though).

SFO: landside. Exit T3 and walk over to T1. There used to be a shuttle that was airside at one point but I haven't seen it lately so I don't know if it still exists.

Seems like they should have, as it's now NF1? Of course, that might be one o' them "phantom" NF1s...

(Hey, if the e500s don't work for ORD - SFO, I'll keep the faith for SFO - JFK).

Since the above quoted posting (about 24 hours ago) tonight's UA153 went to F0. I assume IM released inventory. But that would be unusual for them not to hold back any for sale. Next Sat (Feb 21) is F9 NF4 with 27 seats unassigned. For those sweating out the E500s I expect there will be no problem clearing unless you are a 2P or GM.
