Well....I was going to share some photos, but the connection here doesn't seem to want me to upload. We had an uneventful flight from Seattle to Los Angeles. John and I made our way to the international terminal and looked in vain for Air Pacific ticketing as we wanted to see if it was possible to upgrade using some of our miles. When we asked we were told they would be taking over the space that was then occupied by Aeroflot. Oh, yes! Then we remembered that we'd had that same problem here before looking for Quantas. We fed ourselves and then headed to the ticket desks. We looked again at the departure board and discovered that our flight had just been delayed 2 hours. When we got to the ticket desk we were told that a crew member was sick and the replacement needed theextra 2 hours to meet the rest requirement. No worries! It means we'll arrive at 7:30 AM on Monday, the 5th instead of 5:30 AM. That's actually a good thing because we won't be able to check in to our condo until the afternoon anyway...less time for sleeping beside the pool :) As for upgrading, we found we couldn't use our American miles even though they are partners because they don't have the authorization from American to dip into our accounts. Hmmm...I seem to remember we'd had that same problem once before, too! So here we are cooling our heels and trying to keep ourselves amused. I'll check in again when I can!
