It’s time for this little cat to embark on her second whirlwind around the US for the year, on a mix of airlines, in a mix of classes, and to a rather varied mix of destinations. The main purpose of my trip is to attend International Quilt Market in Houston. This is an annual event, and the largest in the world for quilt fabrics. It’s every quilter’s dream to attend and with a little magic, I’ll be attending for the first time. Then with a few days spare, and a little company in the form of JessicaTam, a little status run to Bermuda was in order. At T-17 this is a run-down of my itinerary to whet the appetite.
Day 1:
VA23 Melbourne to LA, business class (row 5). 777-300
LAX-PHX, US Airways, Economy, A321
PHX-IAH, US Airways, Economy, A319
Day 5:
IAH-DFW, American Airlines, First Class, MD80
DFW-MIA, AA, First class, 737-800
MIA-BDA, AA, Business Class, 737-800
Day 8:
BDA-JFK, AA, Business Class, 737-800
Day 9:
JFK-LAX, AA, First Class, A321T
Now this flight is the one I’m most looking forward to, and was made possible thanks to the SWU certificates I won here on AFF from the generous Danger.
Day 10:
QF94 LAX-MEL, Qantas, Economy, A380.
This one will be a bit of a shock to the system after flying F the previous day....fortunately I’ve locked in seats on the upper deck, 32A.
All in, there will be 9 flights in 10 days. Four airlines, seven plane types, and three classes of travel. And my first time ever flying First.
