Thanks again for a great start to a TR. All you whiners and gripers about PC, etc. STOP READING! Go somewhere else! Geez!

And when does the PC line cross from being "funny" to you, to being harmful to those targeted? When the comments go to race? Religion? Sexual orientation?

Putting down others, to make yourself feel important, is never right.

Is it really necessary to refer to Business Class passengers as hoi polloi?

I thought the "trainers" were the sneakers on her feet? I think she's fearless for wearing light colors on an airplane! I guess you never spill red wine on her as people have done to me (more than once). Of course, that was in coach, not Premiere, so....

You could similarly stop reading the (many) comments pointing out that the original pictures/commentary were needlessly rude and graceless, and you can also go somewhere else. I'd rather say something if I see something wrong, rather than slink away silently -- unfortunate for you that you have a hard time understanding that!

SFO777 is entitled to behave in whatever lawful, forum-approved manner he wants, and to not give a damn who thinks he's acting like boorish bully. Those of us who disagree with him are also entitled to say he's acting like one.

Sadly I feel this TR crossed a line.

It should be possible to write an informative and amusing TR without belittling (and potentially humiliating) complete strangers who have done nothing to the OP except share a physical space at an airport. Treat others as you would have others treat you.

I have to agree. I have enjoyed the OP's reports over time but this one (and somewhat several prior ones) reeked of pretentiousness and being very pompous. We get it, the OP has money, that's cool. No need to belittle others on your wealthy behalf.

The Op has money?
How has money got anything to do with this report? The report is on the experience.

You are attempting to make this about "money", and you're wrong.

SFO777, I think it's a great report. And the sarcasm is as good as ever. Some of these "responders" do not get your style, and are jumping to conclusions with their personal comments about you (which may I add are extremely judgmental) - seriously? Do any of these people know you personally? I guess they have no sense of humour.

Keep it up, most of us love the narration and pics.

The clue phone is ringing but you're not picking up.

It's called sarcasm.

I had a good laugh reading this so far.

Between the young lady at John Wayne and the F lounge at SFO. The C section looks like the New York subway. I think I would prefer to wait at Starbucks.

I saw an SFO777 trip report with 3 pages written, I didn't expect 2 posts and a whole lot of complaining. Anyway SFO777, I thought of one of your recent posts with a picture of a full size dog hugging its owner on an AA flight when I was at LGA on Monday night and I saw a huge goldendoodle getting off a UA flight. Cute dog.

When I saw this quote I thought, you've created a private travel monster

And my favorite of the morning..."… Why don't we charter next time? How much would that cost?..."
