Yes, That was my idea after pulling it off 3 times at JFK and once at LGA and SHF & jfkeze met the girl as we both flew to ORD.
Great report bro and sorry to have missed u in NYC, I was recovering from a 72hr no sober moment binge so I didnt see my txts till well after.
Btw, How the HELL did you spend $100 on mediocre looking takeout sushi!?!?!?! RA Sushi serves better looking stuff and they are a west coast chain!!!

Interesting report! Very lucky to get those four F flights for virtually nothing.
I am never impressed with UA's catering in trip reports, and this was no exception. Serving a PDB in a plastic cup in F (or J) is simply not acceptable. I'm also not a fan of cart service in F, but I thought in this trip report the sundae cart looked quite good!
The UA F lounge at JFK is certainly a far cry from the BA CCR, or even their recently refurbished F and J lounges.
However, for the virtually nothing paid for the trips I think they would have been four very enjoyably flights!
You do need to sleep more though, you know

Both AA and UA serve PDB with Plastic cup, I don't have experience with DL but maybe it could be a US regulation?
I think some part of the service on the cart is great, things like appetizer (LH/LX), salad (AA/UA), dessert can be well done on those fold-down carts.
Just don't bring the completely boxed-in catering cart into the cabin please.
The UA F lounge is pretty much on its last leg, $misek can't wait to take its last breath from it.
For the price I can't complain, I'm sure United would love to put me in their cargo hold if they could have.
The jokes FT can have with my sleeping pattern
that and I was grounded for 5 weeks prior made me pretty antsy
to get on a plane quick. Most people have a alcohol, coffee or drug addiction, pretty sure mine is flying

No worries, we just thought you fell off the map
You have to ask jfkeze for the sushi, trust me, I was going nowhere that night @:-)
And I would like to thank United Airlines once again for this absolutely wonderful opportunity to make this trip happen

Extra Extra - Final CPM calculations
As suggested by wchou in another thread
I guess I can post this photo as well
July 19 outbound was sold out so I had to use July 20 instead
Cost of ticket if paid - 17368.40, can't see someone paying this price to United
You could however get a Benjamin back for signing up a credit card
Cost of ticket on miles - 4 Miles
CPM for redemption - 4342.1 dollars per Miles
