I would only know about Dulles, as I am not often on hub-hub routes that don't include it, but I would nominate UA903, the IAD-DEN 777 @ 1725 as the most elite-heavy flight I have been on.

Wow, all these years and I've never done this. Starting with my next flight, I'll be signing magazines. My guess is that I'll have a good chance for coming across another FT member, because I fly the P.S. routes often and there are only a few aircraft used

I did a five segment mini MR yesterday and found myself in 9D of the same 757 on the first (LAX-DEN) and last (SFO-LAX) legs, roughly 12 hours apart.

how about a double personal spotting

both flygirl94 and dliesse.

both knew from the itins section of f/t that i'd be at sfo today (may 28th).

dliesse met me upon arrival at sfo as he was killing time before his comfy f seat on a 777x3 to ord.

now as to flygirl94......poor, poor flygirl94 . she worked my phx-flight and hopefully she's not too mad at me for chatting most of the flight - tho i did have a ton of fun giving out tootsie-pops on this flight as not only is she a great person AND a great f/a [hey, she has to be to put up with me ], she took care of the remaining supply by giving 'em out to the deadheading ua f/a's on board and now, i'm also officially a junior f/a-got my wings and everything. (and, no, i didn't ask her for warm nuts, a hot towel or to hang my coat <rimshot>)

a pleasure meeting both of you

Thanks for the PM and dropping a message in here with the details!!!

Seeya in the funny papers!
D.
you have spotted again on tonight's UA1139 SEA-SFO, although your mag was moved to 2D since your flight in 2C on 5/25's UA353 PHL-DEN.

what's DIA?

You could easily remedy that by not signing Hemispheres on Ted.... @:-)

In fact, you could even go one step further and only sign when ensconced in premium cabin on international flights....

In which case, as far as I can tell, you'd never be spotted. Not only is my Hemispheres always brand-spankin' new on those flights (what do they do with all the once-used ones?), I don't think I've ever seen a spotting recorded in this thread from a premium cabin on an int'l flight? Seems like they're all domestic.

There do seem to be plenty of PS spottings, though, which solidifies that PS is definitely not at int'l standards.

A pleasure to meet both of you, as well!

Only problem with my SFO-ORD flight was that it took half the trip to figure out how to work everything in the First Suite...

Had a major runway delay at LGA and found out I was sitting next to StevenShev when I logged into FT and he noticed, and then watched him signing his hemispheres (does that count as a sighting?)

Oh - and we still have another 30 minutes on line before take-off, it's already been about an hour. (should have taken the train today!)

Spotted DA1DAN

Hey DA1DAN, you've been spotted. (My first spotting)
You were on #1424 DEN-MCO on 5/28 in 11F. (Going to the mouse house?)

I was on #1595 FLL-DEN on 5/31 11F. (Ted's best F seat)

I've been signing on every flight for the last couple of years. I have spotted myself on a few mileage runs that involved same plane turns, or connecting flights that ended up being the same aircraft, but that doesn't seem to count.
I have not spotted anyone else. I agree with your seat comment. No mouse house for me, just visiting relatives.

Not fair, when do I get to fly with one of the resident FA's?
