Thread: Who would you choose?

Tough choice you have to make but I will say that one of the best meals I have had in the air was on JL.

From what I understand NW doesn't upgrade because employees pay extra for upper class travel. Is that still right? I won't fly NW int for that reason.

Yes - it dings...

More important than which airline, is when you're traveling. Don't wait until the end of the month and run into "Golden Week"; you won't get anywhere.

True that... I&#39;m locked into April 8 or 9 though. I have duty travel to and HKG confirmed & upgradable, so i&#39;m just adding a quick trip to the states on to the end I&#39;d take UA HKG-ORD but we only have ID90 so it = $$$

My friend fancies himself as a bit of a sweet talker, and tries to work the FAs into an upgrade rather than ground staff. I just don&#39;t think I have it in me...

I really don&#39;t see how anyone would upgrade another airline employee over their own? maybe your friend needs to fancy himself a bit less full? hahaha--sorry I don&#39;t use those smiley winkies etc....

and you are reading right, that jumper, who is NW employee, doesn&#39;t get upgrades, yes? I recommend not holding your breath--or do you look good in blue?

Haha i ain&#39;t holding my breath. He&#39;s a pilot so he likes to sweet talk them.

That being said... a friend of a friend worked for an airline and quit but still had his ID. He showed it at the service desk whenever he went somewhere and he got upgraded on intl sectors everytime, bar once. I&#39;m just not the type who feels right in doing that kind of thing!

I&#39;ve just never flown NW or JL, nor AA internationally. For some reason I think AA would have small uncomfortable seats. I imagine JL the same...

I still need to check loads. NW is open, need to call AA and JL so the decision may be made for me.
