Sigh. How do y'all manage to make your laptops last?

The machine is a Latitude D620, which I have to say I've been rather pleased with.

I had one of those at my last job. Nice machine with good battery life.

SAN - East Coast redeyes are usually completely full if not overbooked. There are two that I know of, one on CO to EWR and the other on DL to ATL. I haven't taken that CO leg but the last time I took that DL flight, F was booked full, 68 elites on the upgrade list that were not upgraded, and six volunteers were given VDB compensation. YMMV.

E+ is that cat's meow.

When I was going through my US divorce I considered all airlines and how they stacked up against my travel habits and what they offered. CO made the most sense on paper but I was really resistant to it. Why? Because I despise the Northern Jersey crowd that are a bunch of CO fanboys (and girls). The people I work with who pledge allegiance to CO are people you don't want to be sitting next to. I was under the impression everyone that flew CO was like this, and I'd want to gouge my eyes out.

I really don't like NY/NJ and when I travel it's my sanity check. I didn't want to deal with an airline that had the NYC 'tude.

After lurking on the CO FT forum for a while I finally did a recon mission down to SAT and I realized that CO is actually a Southern airline. Outside of EWR the crews are great, the service is consistent, and it met my needs. And I can deal with EWR.

Here I am a couple hundred thousand miles later and I laugh when I think about my bias against CO. It was completely irrational.

Now, if only CO would implement E+ I'd turn into a full fledged fan-boy.

How do you tote around that brick? There's a reason our laptops are the same age (precisely the same model). And indeed it's largely functioned well (except the two HDD failures in the first three months). I got to borrow an 820 last week, which was even larger.

Also happens to be the same AC type and airport that was weight-restricted Sunday (getting me $300 despite other unsold seats).
