I flew on United Airlines from Hong Kong to Bangkok in premium economy (what United brands as Premium Plus) on a Boeing 787, a short but pleasant daytime flight.
This was the third leg of my journey from Burbank – San Francisco – Hong Kong – Bangkok. When I checked in at Burbank, the system only gave me boarding passes to Hong Kong, presumably because my connection to Bangkok was after an overnight in Hong Kong. I also could not get a mobile boarding pass, but picked up my boarding pass at the check-in desk…my last Premier 1K check-in desk (for now).
After spending some time in the Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Lounge, I headed to the gate early for boarding since my upgrade had not cleared. I was hoping to get up to Polaris Business Class, but informed that I would miss that (by about seven passengers), however I would be upgraded to Premium Plus. I was assigned seat 20D, an aisle seat (no windows were available).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
