Up in front

First class on the way to vacation! If I'd been awake enough to listen a little more closely and be a touch ballsier, we would have flown in the front the whole way, but getting the international flight was pretty decent. I don't expect to get to do this many more times (USAir is mighty generous with the bump-ups, but doesn't really fly convenient times to CA, aka 90% of all my travel, so I switched over to United), so I enjoyed the experience to the hilt. I was also particularly proud to introduce my travel partner to the joys of first class. Unlimited mixed beverages, big, cushy seats, a variety of snacks, a meal, and a nearly private bathroom. Plus, bored flight attendants eager to relay information (yay, education!) about the scenic Mexican coastline...

A great start!

I am so paying back the babysitting! Target and the fact that USAir and United share miles. Woo Sam! Woo Sam!

??? I knew that, silly - Star Alliance is Sta Alliance. Is there something I'm missing? I thought the problem is that they only reward you with up front-er seats if you're a permier member of that PARTICULAR airline, not just if you're a Star Alliance permier member. If so, THAT would be valuable...

Can't argue with Target, though. The land of the plastic angels!!!
