Nice picture of empty plastic.

Did you not feel uncomfortable with all that space in Business class?

Excellent report Kevin.

Thanks for posting. I was in Vegas in May, and boy do those Taxi's sting!!!
Thanks larrywilmot747. And yes - they need to either 1) extend the monorail down to the airport or set up better public transport...

Still, it's Vegas baby YEAH!

Thanks freeupgrade. The most exhausting bit was towards the end of the trip - the US Airways MR didn't help (and yes - it is entirely possible to sleep in a Mesa CRJ). I'm just surprised I didn't stay awake for much of the SFO-LHR leg.

Happy Turkey Day when it comes around for you

Sorry, that just popped in my head.
Thanks Kurt. After 2 weeks when I was a lot younger trapped in France on a foreign exchange visit you tend to call things the correct way quickly ...

Thanks NoY The lack of cookies on the OW side convinced me to return . The upgrades were just a sweetener and completely unexpected. I have this nasty feeling its going to be a tough race for re-qualification next year, so anything to sweeten the deal will be helpful...

Well.. I thought about taking a picture of half drunken champers.. but there is only so much ripping off I can do in life... at least you're not ripping off my Vodka and Cola

Business Class was a different experience - certainly larger than ye good olde BMI PE, but if United throw these upgrades at me, I'm hardly in a position to refuse.

Thanks Moomba

What a good/long post. I like it, even though I did not read all of it, but I enjoyed all the pictures. I'll try and work my way through it as the week goes by, thanks again for the pictures.
