Your handle alone seems to qualify you as an expert.

SAN-SFO-FRA-GVA. Get you some good Gruyère and a fondue set.

GVA-FRA-SFO, get some good bread.

SFO-SAN. Enjoy.

I wonder if a baggage tag will stick to a block of cheese?

Me too! Not sure about UA, but I can testify, from sad recent personal experience, that the seats on AS's MD-88s are NOT smell absorbing.

Ya know, you can actually buy slow-close toilet seats for the home now. I've actually got one. Wonderful, wonderful invention (especially if you have kids who otherwise just slam the things down).

Maybe I'm not the only guy who grabs a big stinky burrito to eat on every longhaul flight.
