Totally agree with suggestions for TSA. – “to keep my pants about my waste with one arm” — I don’t know if in a flurry of creative outpouring this usage was what you originally intended, but I found this sic hilariously funny; somehow the use of the homonym enhanced the image of urgency!

Looking forward to it. The 500 EQM I am missing out on won't make a difference at the end of the year, and the one-way ticket was significantly cheaper than UA *and* at a more convenient time. Can you elaborate on the stop-over in LAS? Did they add that after you booked the flight, or did you just not pay attention when you booked? (rookie!) As for earning miles... well, I mainly care about EQMs, and there is little point in earning more than whatever status I am targeting (okay, this year UA sweetened the 125k pot with the two SWUs, so I went for that). Just bought 400,000+ miles from US via their 250% bonus promo, so I can fly *A without having to suffer through too many "earnings" flights. I have my first VX flight (LAS-SFO) coming up next week.

It's my first VX trip as well and I share a lot of your sentiments. Great gate agents in SFO, albeit we had a funky boarding process (1st class, through passengers, passengers without rollaboards, passengers with rollaboards by seating area). Entertainment and free wifi's nice as well. Nevertheless, the seat pitch is a cocnern for me after being so used to E+. The guy in front reclined and nearly broke my screen.
