Im leaving tomorrow...my flight leaves at 2:30pm and I land in Portland at 8:10. I used to drive upstate to school and that was a 7 hr trip...I figure this wont be as bad...Ill be a lil more comfy

 

Man that is way too long for me...

 

The nice thing about going out west is that you gain time. I've always loved that when coming home on trips.

 

I think I'd rather the driving than flying. The older I get the more ancy I get... can't seem to sit still that long... I flew out to Seattle 2 years ago and I thought I was gonna die...

 

I just sleep the whole trip....you're there before you know it!

 

I highly recommend 1st class...the extra space makes ALL the difference in the world! I upgrade to first at any opportunity. In one of my old jobs my boss used to use her miles to upgrade me when I was travelling!

 

thats nice Brant... I think I've flown first class a few times... Always drink... yeah

Trust me, this middle class kid's flown more coach miles that probably half the Corner s combined in my lifetime, so I take the 1st class upgrades whenever I can get 'em!

I'm lucky now, because I get to use my father's frequent flier miles to upgrade from time to time...though I still usually fly coach.

 

I usually fly coach, but I've been lucky enough to fly Business or 1st class on several occasions, too. I've even been lucky enough to fly on a "private" plane a few times. Technically they were government flights, but they were both former Air Force One planes outfitted for much smaller passenger loads.

As a matter of fact, the Air Force One that was recently retired to the Boeing Museum of Flight here in Seattle was the last military aircraft that I ever flew on before my father retired in 1997.
