After two months without setting foot in Dulles Airport it was back to the grind today. I had to check in at the Unite Premier line since my 100K status has been yanked after 1.5 million miles. I flew too many other airlines last year it seems (delta has wifi). But guess what, the Premier line was empty while the 100k people waited around.
Resigned to my non-upgraded state, I dutifully stood in the Boarding Group 2 (two, WTF?!) lane with the masses. But before group two was even called to board, I was summoned to the front for an upgrade.
How did that happen? I’m not going to even begin to ask. Maybe twitter had something to do with it.
So I get on the plane and not only do I have plenty of room to work, there is wifi too. United is on a roll. Ironically, I removed my seat power adapter from my computer bag this morning when I decided I would not need it. That would be wrong. I used every bit of my macbook’s battery today and got a ton of work done. Awesome.
I tweeted from 35,000 feet, posted the usual Vine posting of the seat, and even shot a picture with my google glass. Life was good.

And then there was ice cream.

Well done United. Please make the rest of 2014 like this, what say?
