Made it easily to San Fran I a Skywest flight I economy plus. And to the San Fran airport with 3 hours to spare. Looked up flights and hotel information then went and grabbed nachos at a Mexican restaurant in the international terminal. Then it was the waiting game, 60 seats open and we were 24:25 on the standby list. No first class seats open. We got separate middle seats in economy plus. More leg room. We took them hoping someone would change with us on board. The dude matt was sitting next to was some hot shot who refuses to switch a middle for a middle. But with the united app we discovered an open seat asked the gentleman in the other middle seat if he would switch and he did so we could sit next to each other. Then my fast fingers went to work. 20 minutes before take off and I was busy booking our flight to chaing Mai. Pricelined an airport hotel for 60$ less than list price, emailed the elephant dudes and paypaled them for our elephant ride all the while trying to get comfortable in our middle seats for the next 15 hours of boredom.
We watched Harry potter 1 on te iPad (united doesn't have personal entertainment like delta) then a few good men. Then Harry potter two. But I fell asleep a lot and matt kept turning off the iPad to conserve energy since the double decker 747 did not have in seat electricity plugs. Food was typical airplane food not the five course gourmet meals we got across the pond. And the we landed. Has to wait to get back to where matt threw our bags up grabbed them. Made a pit stop and easily through customs. Caught the complimentary shuttle to the marriott sky city hotel which is on the airport island. We made it into our 150$ hotel room for 14 hours of good sleep. Off to chaing Mai in the morning!
