Trip Report: Introduction

Well, I just got back from another amazing trip, so that means it’s time for another (not so) amazing trip report! The planning of this trip was a bit different than my usual process. Usually I’ll plan my travel around the destination I want to see and book whatever I can to get there, but [...]

Ba-da-bump!

Just a quick update from ORD to say that I got a bump off of my ORD-TPA flight, and am now booked on the same route in a few hours. The two flights left for the day are both zeroed out, so this could get interesting. I’m not holding my breath though, since the next flight is [...]

Fun at ORD….

My morning was a total mess. The hotel shuttle was totally packed to EWR, and the only place they drop you off at the airport is at P4, which means one has to take the AirTrain to get to the terminals. As luck would have it they were doing construction on the tracks, so they [...]

Funny yet sad day at EWR today!

So let’s fast forward through the rest of the trip for a moment (which I’ll be covering in detail over the next few days) to my EWR experience today. After flying FRA-EWR on Lufthansa I was booked on US from EWR to CLT to TPA, all in First.
I couldn’t figure out what gate my EWR-CLT [...]

Hello from the First Class Terminal in FRA!

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I’ve been staying away from the computer for the most part, which is actually a GOOD thing. We’re in the First Class Terminal at FRA right now awaiting our flight back to EWR and then my connection back to TPA via CLT on US. I’ve been working on [...]

Hello from Malta!

It’s sunny outside and I’m tired, so I’ll keep this update short. Simply put we had an amazing Lufthansa experience. The crews were top notch, the food was exceptional, and the overall experience couldn’t have been any better. My brother visited the First Class Terminal in FRA for the first time today and was uberly [...]

Trip update from EWR

I had an interesting flight ORD-EWR. First of all, the whole crew was top notch. Channel 9 was on and announced, the FA’s were professional, and the flight flew right by, no pun intended.
We were delayed about 20 minutes from ORD thanks to a visit to the penalty box, and as soon as we took off the [...]

Hello from the ORD IFL!

Well, I made it to Chicago bumpless. Late yesterday the flight showed as Y7 so I knew my chances weren’t good. The flight ended up being full and Channel 9 was on, so I’m a happy camper.
Surprisingly enough I didn’t have to argue to get into the ORD IFL, and the agent actually anticipated what [...]
