Really, I should not be complaining. My original flight(s) to Beijing tomorrow had me leave the house at 4 am so I could catch the 6 am flight to SFO, with an almost 5-hour layover, and then on to my next flight to Beijing. I would have been in the back of the plane, in the middle seat, for both legs.
Last night as I was freaking out and crying inside about my 4 am EDT on Monday morning, I decided to see whether there would be a way for me to get on a later flight to SFO. What do you know? Up popped a non-stop flight to Beijing! Woohoo!
My original seat on this flight was 42F. After refreshing the page many many times, I moved up to 31F. Bulk seats do come with extra legrooms, yes. But they also come with increased chance of being seated next to a baby. (I am NO baby hater. But if I have a choice…)
More refresh. Refresh. Refresh. And now I am where I am.
I pray that 25E will be empty so I can fully recline (“Recline” in the cattle class is an exaggeration) without feeling guilty.
It is really sad that I will not be able to take advantage of free alcohol on international flights… (Drinking = Needing to “use the facility”)
I almost never drink when I fly because every time I do the bathroom breaks- not because I have used it but because I need to.
Good times.

Stuck on a plane with no working bathroom would be a nightmare for all!
Have a great trip. I know from living in Vietnam, what a pain flights to Asia can be. May you recline in peace, my friend!
Hugs,
Kathy

*sigh* seat broken. NO recline whatsoever. Also the personal screen was broken too.
Cheers to the free alcohol on international flights… (That, or good drugs so you sleep…)
