Nihil Obstat Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I pick the cheapest flight. That is basically end of story. Occasionally I will cough up an extra $20 in exchange for an easier transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm sorry to hear about United but I have enough frequent flyer miles with them now to fly all the way back to England for free this next time. The way I look at it though, I won't be giving them any money - and I will be getting their services, so I think it's ok. Also, the flight I am looking at uses Thai Airways to get me there since United doesn't go via the Asia route (they are a Star Alliance partner). It's getting harder to find companies that don't support PP or something else in one way or another. sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially hate the turbulence in the Pacific ocean - so the Australia flight is always a trial. I am hoping that my frequent flyer miles will be enough to let me fly business class this time (hey, I'm going into a convent, may be the last time I ever get to fly business!) - on the International flights, most airlines now have a seat that reclines completely in business and first class. I could lie down, put in my earplugs and put on my face mask, and sleep the whole way - and maybe I wouldn't feel the turbulence too much?? Anyway, we'll see.

Riding first class in a 757 sounds really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Too bad my budget forces me to go with the cheapest option. Though I am opting to drive instead for a wedding next weekend. Dayton to Maryland, with a overnight pit stop in Steubenville because 8.5 hour drives by yourself are lame. Plenary Indulgence, awwwww yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh. But to be fair, though, it looks like it's not the company itself that is supporting Planned Parenthood, just their CEO. Although it may not be that big of a difference, it makes me feel better about cashing in all my Star Alliance frequent flier miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
