Thanks for the report, SFO777. I have no idea about the sport you watched, but it seemed like most people (at least those on the winning side) were enjoying themselves!
Those old UA Clubs at LAX and CLE are fairly underwhelming places. Their new Polaris concept looks pretty swish though for a business class product.

Best part is that I dont think CLE has seen that many private planes before ever. We flew into Burke lakefront and it was a madhouse of birds. Leaving after the game was complete cluster. Storms came in and then ATC boy let us fly out every 10 min. Wanted 15 miles between planes. So we waited 3.5 hrs on tarmac. Not totally awful BBC hey we were in a really nice big bird (heavy legacy), giddy with a WS win, and still drunk-ish. But didn't make it home to chicago until 7am. MDW was fogged in and pilots took us to dupage airport. Which none of us knew where that was. Basically it felt like landing in Iowa.
Nothing like the excitement of flying to playoff baseball and a game 7. Especially seeing two great teams that both deserved to win.
