Can't say "pretty good" and not provide a description (or pics).

Fair enough Professor:

1. Chicken salad finger sandwiches

2. Various cheeses (i.e. real) with crackers

3. Artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, and mozzarella (separate from (2))

4. A pasta dish

5. Fresh vegetables

Still, for any of those interested, it looked like that Golds and Silvers were upgraded into the business cabin.:)

I seem to recall monitor had the indignity of champagne from Napa in the UA International Lounge. WiFi started with aircraft with no / limited entertainment options but it's great when I've had it. And I really went 31/34 on upgrades as a silver this year.

Sounds like a great spread and I would have visited number 3 extensively. Steph3n and I want to know if they had the dried fruit at the bar?

Very interesting happening. I just noticed it tonight, but upon further reflection it has happened more often. I will run an AVG scan in the morning after I print resumes and recommendations.

Yeah, I raised the wifi and champagne issue because AA has this on the 762 JFK-LAX/SFO routes as I believe that UA does on PS too (or is getting wifi). Yeah, DL-NW with all of the FC inventory, if properly gamed, a Silver can have an amazing upgrade ratio. My mother only missed two upgrades this year.

They surely did. All of the normal "offerings" (ahem, cough, crap,;)) was there as well. I omitted intentionally.:D

Two of my misses were 752s (bad flight/aircraft combination on my part) and the other was a baffling ATL-BNA at a non-peak time.

We really don't need to know about the cookies anyway.

I don't know about you but it sounds like there was dinner on the transcon and enough for dinner in the lounge.

Dried Strawberries are all one needs for sustenance for what DL calls food in F.

I heard something about cheese going the way of the dodo at SCs systemwide, or was it all just a transition to that horrible 'gouda like processed cheese' that gives rats cancer in 1 hour.

Is it worth it to me to post two space-avail CO upgrade certs in CC, or is the community so biz-travel heavy that no one will attempt flying at off-peak times when they do actually work?
