The Red eye (LAX-BOS)!
I didn't have much time in Los Angeles; just a quick stop in the Admirals Club for some Internet connection. After quickly blogging and checking a few other things, I was back at the gate. Again, I had no confirmed upgrade here and things weren't looking good. When I checked into the Admirals Club, they told me I wasn't even on the upgrade wait list. The put me on, but I was second on the list. Lesson learned: make sure I'm listed immediately all the way through on mileage runs. I had the agent put me on the list for my last leg (BOS-DFW) and she did and told me I was at the top.
Well, the upgrade didn't work. The name at the #1 position did get upgraded; I was one short. Oh well, this was work anyways. Upon boarding I was pleased to find out that I was in the Main Cabin Extra seats. These are seats located in the first few rows of Economy and have a few more inches of legroom. Given my 6'5" height, the extra legroom was appreciated.
For some reason I was either unaware or forget this about the Main Cabin Extra. I was worried before boarding because I hadn't even been able to secure an exit room. In end, all was fine. I could actually stretch my legs under the seat in front of me.
I did pull out my laptop and iPad for Internet stuff, but quickly realized that I was tired and sleep would be in the cards for this flight. I slept the entire flight. Of course it's not the best quality sleep (tossing and turning for comfort), but it was sleep nonetheless. As we arrived in BOS, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.
Again, it was off to the Admirals Club, this time for a shower and some water. Just one flight left, and here's to hoping it's in First Class!
