On my DTW-SAT flight the other night, my coworker had all 3 seats on the wider side of a 717 to himself in C+. Technically companions arent UG eligible to C+, but I guess the GA moved him there anyway because it was so empty. He was pretty happy about that.
I was by myself on the 2 seat side of C+ but ended up getting moved to 1B right before the door closed after 2 people no-showed (was #5 for 3 seats at gate). Honestly, I might have been better off with my own row in C+. I generally avoid bulkheads because Im tall, the flight was too late for dinner service, and the FA was not very forthcoming with drink service. Still, I wasnt going to turn down F, especially now that UGs are rare as a lowly FO. 😀
I enjoyed having the whole row to myself. I slept well.

So, I changed to 9J, then went running back to 1C for a single reason. The last time I got downgraded into C+ (immediately behind 9J) I endured a gaggle of screaming infants, the likes of which Id never experienced. It was like they were all competing to be the voice-over for the next Godzilla movie.
So, knowing my luck Id be in for Part Deux of the Godzilla Auditions. Ill be dead tired, and skipping dinner, so Im hoping 1C will give me the best shot at getting some
decent sleep.

The hockey guy who sometimes seems to fly DL started a thread over in the Starriott forum about hotels eliminating down pillows, which he seems to think is a bad thing.The thread made me think of our buddy gooselee and his relatives. Maybe they'll be able to stay warm and cozy this winter. Yay!
BTW, I assume BMWs are manufactured without the use of feathers in the seats.

Morning, Lounge. This morning was glorious, as Mr. Kipper started his new schedule for his new job. I was able to get an extra hour of sleep!
