Yup, Originally I was set on HA when I realized they were on schedule and I figured they would start with this route. Oh well, it is what it is.

KSML doesnt bother me much and im already in Plan B for the return, not risking both. Either way zero saver.

Maybe im strange or missing something but a flight leaving IAD at 8:55AM holds no appeal to me when im based in NY.

You're going to take a garbage F product with no WiFi and no KSML for a 10 hour flight over a flight with lie-flat seats, WiFi, and KSML?

Drive through the night. You'll have more then enough time to sleep on the flight.

Ill live without packaged cat food that I rarely pick at,and while the snails pace WiFi disconnect will be hard pill to swallow im sure ill survive.
 Im invested in this hobby but not to the point of no return like this. To add another stop and be in the airport from the wee hours of the morning (assuming the 6AM flight would even open up) or the night before to have lie flat over the inferior product they have is a ludicrous suggestion in my eyes. Honestly had I known originally that it wasn't going to be the refitted cabin I wouldn't have even entertained the idea but it is what it is now. So for 64K vs 92K and with faster flight/better timing and JFK over EWR ill stick with what I have

Another charge and sleepless night doesnt help the cause.

thats doesn't make sense to pull an all nighter just to sleep on a plane and have a kosher travel meal which is nasty. Better off sleeping at home and taking whatever flight he has booked

Would make the trip much more memorable (for better or worse).
