Now, an even more ginormous [...]

I spoke too early! - Minutes after putting up my last post I got a call saying that my JFK-IAD flight for Sunday morning was cancelled and I was rebooked on the same flight Monday. Add to that the fact that my ORD-SFO flight is selling seven first class seats (depiste a few seats being taken and the cabin only having [...]
