If you're going to see your team win a championship you don't fly cattle.

What does #3 have over #1?
The aisle seat?
Just take #1 and have more time in SFO, and hope for an upgrade.

Correct.
F is full.

Tell them you're coming Or have someone pick it up the night before and deliver

I hear, but i would love to be a fly on the wall near Dan talking to the guy sitting next to him in Coach
He should feel for the people who are not able to travel 1st class

you can always just be that guy ... speak to AJK about it.

Don't think it's worth adding 65% extra travel time and spending 22.5K miles to sit 4 hour in F.  Though it's somewhat tempting anyway.

I agree but for some reason I think the longer you think about it the bigger the chance you will cave to temptation.

For me, flying direct beats a stopover almost any day.

Do you realize you are talking to the person who just made a whole adventure centered around taking a flight with 5 stops?

[Dan]

Agreed. If it weren't for the middle seat this wouldn't be a discussion.

How will it end? 

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Agreed. If it weren't for the middle seat this wouldn't be a discussion.

Just ask someone to switch. 

[Dan]

I'm sure for a Grant there would be takers.

[chucksterace]

Can we rename this thread - "Dan's trip to SFO?"

Option 1. Why wake up 1hr earlier, travel 2hrs longer, and use more points (not that it matters to you  )
