Not a bad idea, though I feel like that adds another 5 hours to the trip... so instead of the original 11 hours, i'm not prob looking at 16. ORD is 13. I know, I know, what's another 3 hours at that point, but it's more like "what's an extra 6"

Not great on the direct. Looking at a Wed flight, and no Z and no R available. What's your metric for what has to be available to think you're going to get the upgradE?

I will guess he already got the ticket already with the stop in ORD and is now second guessing his decision.
Nope, haven't booked it yet...
