Against my better judgment I decided to book a transcon this weekend on a United A319 in order to make it to San Diego in time for our live Upgrd Podcast recording. No, the better judgment part isn't because it's an Airbus (I'm not much of an "if ain't Boeing I ain't going" kind of…

I'm watching my transcon 1P upgrade chances disappear for Sat 10/3. Outbound from ROC-ORD-LAX is fine. With an available upgrade LAX to IAD I'd only be out 1 e500. Just a few days ago the 757 had 13 of 24 available. That number is now down to 8 open seats and F6 and my name isn't Lucky. I suppose I should have just planned for the redeye (767) and added a flight or two to keep the connections all within 4 hours. Next time.
