I have one leftover SWU and tjtenor4 has been encouraging me to use it for that very flight on that very day, but I've been hesitating because both of our flights have groups of people on them already and I might feel guilty (not to mention knowing that I could trade that SWU for more vouchers or something that could be useful in the get-the-family-to-BKK production...)
I haven't been in CO BF in 10 years, though. And I'd like to try it again, even if it's old. Maybe I'll put the SWU in for the outbound, EWR-MXP - at least we should all be asleep for most of it.

Forgot to mention, sdm1130 and I were treated to a 1K complaining to someone on his phone about not getting upgraded on a CO flight and finding out that they (1Ks) are after Platinums.

On Another note, who comes first: UA1K or a Plat Companion?

If you're around the Leicester Square area at all, walk by the brand new W - it's about a week away from opening! I'm super excited to stay there in July. :-:

At the least I know you're not talking about me, I've been on enough bad behavior to not warrant a wonderful all-expenses paid for vacation away from FlyerTalkville and teh Box!I'm curious if anyone here had the choice to go on LX F (New) or LH F on the A340 what would you go for?

I worked at an college where we wanted to implement this idea. President was a strong proponent but she simply never did so ...

The sample data set of poor behavior is expanding nicely past FTers. At one point, I thought that mindset belonged solely to forum members. It's nice to know that I was wrong.

Given the way it gets talked about around here, I'd think LX F is the gold standard and everything else is a letdown in comparison unless maybe the variable of a 380 ride is thrown in.
