I’m sitting in terminal 5, gate F-11 F-6 F-4 (my gate kept moving, very annoying) in Chicago IL at the moment waiting for my connecting flight. Unfortunately there isn’t any free Internet access here in O’Hare so the actual posting of this message may be delayed (which is lame, SMF has free wireless).
Anyway, my trip from Sac to here was in First class, and although I’m not sure I would shell out the extra dough to sit there myself, but then again I don’t fly often, it was defiantly nicer. Breakfast was served to only us 8 first class passengers, and honestly I felt a bit gluttonous eating a really nice breakfast when the person behind me only gets a coke. There were little things too that were kind of neat. Like unlimited beverages (which I knew about) served in an actual glass (no economy plastic cups here!). The seats in First Class are just awesome, the recline way back, have pillow tops that you can move up and down as well as adjust the sides to keep your head in place. I actually slept comfortable on an airplane for the first time in my life. And lastly I’m not sure if it was just because it was a newer plane, or because it was first class but the in-flight radio was full on XM radio stations and in full quality.
Watched an in flight movie, “Failure to Launchâ€. Funny movie. With the increases in home theatre quality I find it increasingly hard to recommend people go to a theatre to watch a movie, but I will say that if you enjoy the movie theatres or live in some place like Chico where you can get in and out of a movie for less than $10 its worth watching.
Anyway, more on this later, but I’ve gatta go check on my flight!
