So I saved at least 10,000 points and got to Chicago in first class with the quickest connection.
Speaking of IFE. The true in-flight entertainment was out the window on this flight!
On a nice day from the domestic terminal over to international is a 15 minute walk. Today a crowded shuttle would take me there for an anticipated first time on the world renowned airline Emirates.
Before the Emirates flight I took an EK codeshare on Jetstar to Auckland. It was interested to see the differences between the two carriers that fly between Auckland and Wellington.
Finally it was off to Gate 60, just 2 minutes downstairs from the lounge where I met Chip. Chip was standing right in the middle of the boarding area where...
Having flown Thai's 747 last year on a business class ticket sitting in a first class seat, I was anxious to try the real first class experience.

What to do?I came within a mouse click of changing the flight. Am I glad I didn't.
A couple years ago I flew 4 international segments on their new 747-8i which only enhanced my affection for the airline. Maybe I was due for a let down.
Yes I had wanted to try Lufthansa in business, especially on the 747-8i in the upper deck. At least I can scratch it off the bucket list.
Two agents sat talking to each other at the counter seemingly with no interest of what was not taking place, boarding.
I was handed a box. I thought it might be something like a box of chocolates where I'd pick one. I had no idea it was dinner!
It's always important to leave on a positive note, pajamas in business class.
