You really produce those reports at an industrial pace, huh?

Anyways nice to see another report from you Mr. SFO!

Though I am a little curious why you spent 25K LifeMiles on the UA flight, when there are much better things you can do with them. Wouldn't it have been better to just book a cheap coach ticket for the DEN-IAD segment?

The EY Lounge at IAD looks stunning for being an outstation lounge.

You rat ............I was gonna be going to Maldives before you did.

I think it's time for your own TR Forum. "SFO777 lux life trips"

Yup, I really don't know how SFO777 does it. I'm usually half drunk or enjoying a movie during this trips and don't get to my trip reports way later than I want.

Super TR
Like the lounge, looks very classy
Plenty of shrimps, the Thai ones look delicious
Looking forward to the rest, "gobble gobble"

When you think "hey it's been a while since SFO777's last trip report" you only need to open FlyerTalk and won't be disappointed. Looking forward to this one!

Really looking forward to this already! Hey SFO777, you should pick a pub in London so some of us London people can come say hi!

It's probably too early for this but I bet SFO777 plans to honor SHF by "gobble gobbling" the delicacies on EY F

Asking SFO to travel in Y...you might as well ask him why he didn't fly Southwest nonstop from DEN-IAD...and luggage flies free!!

Looking forward to the rest SFO777, I have a friend in Denver who is not into churning or miles/points at all and I keep sending him links to your TR's telling him what he is missing out on!

Could you also please give us a breakdown of the flights and how you booked them? i.e, were they cash fares (how much) or miles/points?

THANK YOU

It's the holiday and we get treated to yet another SFO777 Trip Report ^
Lounge is looking good for sure with the pre-dining, still begs the question why they have pre-dining for a 12+ hr flight ahead
Happy Thanksgiving to SFO777 and the Mrs.

Considering I just did my "Gobble Gobble" on JAL First on this past monday, there is no way in hell SFO777 can out-eat this bad boy
Think of taking down 75-80% of a First Class Menu @:-)
I don't think both him and the Mrs. combined can pull that one
However he can still honor me by at least having a double though on his flight
