No -- I paid my credit card bill with coins. I'll be opening the business account with a check.

I have decided that the next time I fly CO BF on a 762 or 764, I will sit in 1D and post a sign, "Warning, try to walk over me and you will probably fall"

A regional jet that looks slightly like US on the inside - wonderful. :rolleyes:

ABE-CLE-MSP and return = 1 new line (CLE-MSP) and 4 ERJ flights. Oh what fun!

There aren't huge differences in the breakfast service on CO if the flight meets the minimum length for a hot breakfast. What gets served for breakfast on IAH-EWR and similar length flights is essentially the same as what they serve in BusinessFirst on intercontinental flights for breakfast. Transcon breakfast does actually get another choice or two, but it's not much extra.

There's actually a convenience in driving in this very limited case:

A. I live an hour from the airport.
B. With drive to airport, wait at airport, flight, and rental car, it's quicker to drive than fly non-stop.
C. I wouldn't have to fly on WN.
D. I would have a car already.
E. Driving is cheaper without even considering a rental car.

Last year I was in 1D on an IAH-EWR 767 flight, and after the lunch service I pulled out my computer bag and had it on the floor in front of my feet. Another passenger tried to cross over me to get to the lav, tripped on it, and then acted like it was my fault. I also had the leg rest fully extended, so she was also climbing over my legs too. It's really annoying how people think that the space in front of that seat is an aisle. The flight attendants don't really help with this, considering how they discourage passengers crossing to the other aisle through the front galley during boarding.

Today , a flight attendant yelled at a passenger for doing it, but others just ignored it. It was not me sitting there, it was my mom so she did not say anything, but it is really annoying. The girlfriend and I were in 1A and 1B.

I'm hoping to grab 1D for my IAH-EWR flight Friday during OLCI. I really prefer the D seats when traveling alone on the 767s. Right now I've got a window toward the back of the BusinessFirst cabin, which is fine, but I'd rather have the middle single seat.

The middle seat is great for solo travel, I also usually grab one of the middle aisles on the 777 when flying solo.
My other complaint is the lack of a curtain in the galley, I guess I never noticed it before but after flying around Asia last month on different carriers, I noticed they have curtains to block the light from the galley and lav area preventing it from going into the cabin.

I hate it when the FA's block the galley during boarding. I've had to deal with it on DC-10's, 777's and 747's boarding through 2L. It never fails that the people in the first row in the middle are seated as everyone tries to squeeze by them to get to the other side. I usually sit along the left aisle so it isn't a problem for me.

^^

KE actually has a couple overlapping curtains to really subdue the light.

Of 18 items on today's to-do list, two were deferred because they could not be accomplished today, one turned out to be unnecessary, and three were not completed. 17 listed, 14 accomplished. I'm happy.
