I'll probably use United to get/use frequent flier miles.
Definitely going to park in the ghetto as the cheap seats are 1/3 the cost of even business class. $1100 vs about $3500. I can save $4k (2 tickets) by putting up with some creature comforts for 16 hours. Call me cheap, but $4k buys me a lot of suspension upgrades.
I'll take a few Valium and try to score exit row.
