So I bought a window... using Miles ... Maybe I'm crazy, but it does seem kinda cool. I couldn't get on the last flight (sold out way too fast), but kinda cool to put in my office... Now I gotta figure out how to cut out my stucco wall to put it in and make sure it doesn't leak

Five Double seats are still available and
29 Triple seats
Perhaps UA has unestimated demand? Wonder if UA will open up more "inventory". A perennial FF question.

(a) I really wouldn't pay the price if it was cash
(b) my wife would not be thrilled, so it would be sitting in a corner of my home office somewhere
Hope those who did get one get a lot of enjoyment and fond memories out of it.

I thought about it; there were plenty available at the time. I decided that

Good idea. I’ll have the kids kick the back of the seats while my wife hands me tiny packets of pretzels. I’ll have to ask my two most overweight friends to sit in both aisle seats with me in the middle to complete the effect.

I was thinking about buying a window earlier, but 50,000 miles ain't worth it IMO. I would rather pay cold hard $$ rather than redeem RDM. Still a very cool promotion nonetheless.
