what dates were you checking for the summer that has BF availability?

I booked 11NOV-17NOV for now

Looking at June, and so far not finding any dates with upgrade availability. I'd be more inclined to book if I didn't have to waitlist for the upgrades and take that gamble.

sorry misread that one.

The NRT fare is a great - and rare - one , but I would not book it unless confirmed upgrade. Too long for this big arse in coach!

I survived coach to HKG and it not not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It wasn't pretty, but not horrible.

Something is going on with CO as the bookings for IAH-SEA are only available in B unless you go through ATL.

Tokyo is such a fun place, both for drinkers and tech geeks. well worth treating it as a fun run and spending a couple nights.

I agree. I really don't want to risk doing trans-Pacific in Y. Sorry, just can't bring myself to do it. And it's CO Y too, which means 31" pitch and hard seats.

I have to agree with you on the thought he's being exploited.

I have to ask the EWR based people what kind of fares are you getting? It's the getting to the west coast that seems to be a deal killer.
