# 2	Will the Polaris seats replace domestic business class seats? Started Today by howdy000 Last post 3:07 pm by jsloan	United Airlines \| MileagePlus	9 replies	344 views
	I've been enjoying the roll-out of Polaris seats on more of my international flights (although I was stepping over my prone aisle seatmate on the 787-900 I flew last night from SYD-IAH).

# 3	Does anyone else find themselves RESENTING UA and how does it affect your actions? Started Today by usedtobeimportant Last post 2:45 pm by TonyBurr	United Airlines \| MileagePlus	23 replies	1.7k views
	So I'm a long term UA customer, former GS (but only a few times only) and MM. With all the recent changes, it's now clear that for UA its all about money not loyalty and I find I'm a bit resentful towards UA. I guess I'm also resentful because of all the changes. As such I find myself: i) All things being equal I book the non-UA flight.... Read More

There are very cheap AA tickets CLT-MCO but I can’t find another decent one on another airline so ignoring the second leg and flying another airline won’t work.

	It may be another one of those cases where my mind is playing tricks but it seems to me there is a new carpet in T5 GF today - didn’t notice it earlier this week. If so, the newer/deeper carpet is deadening the sound a bit more and providing a little more friction to roller cases, but it is only in parts of the lounge (so far?). And if it’s n... Read More
