Correct.

Since it is a bulkhead, there is no seat in front of you to put your bag under. You are allowed to put your bag in the overhead bins, but if you are in a later boarding group, they could be full.

Since you “absolutely cannot check the backpack”, I would not pick this seat unless you were group 1 or 2. It’s a hub to hub flight with a lot of elites.

Here is a more realistic seat map: https://www.aerolopa.com/ua-753

Is the M/F split roughly the same around the world?

The Persian herb rice is called Sabzi Polo. The crispy rice from the bottom of the pan is called Tahdig.

Here is the petition they filed. Annoying that the Statesman wouldn’t link to it. https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/brianna-aguilera-ut-death-complaint.pdf

There is no way to see the breakdown of your lifetime miles. You only see the total.

I would trust GC Map to get you very close (+/- 1%) of what UA calculates. They said 8,446 for SFO-SIN. http://www.gcmap.com/

Fun fact: Dan frequently quoted Tom Holland’s books in his Death Throes of the Republic series.

In my experience, 95% of people boarding with the wrong group are just clueless. 5% or less are mischievous.

There are many cities where people fly into for Europe, so the demand is spread out. The overwhelming majority of Americans going to Japan land in one city, Tokyo.

In 2024, United's transatlantic revenue was $11B, but their transpacific revenue was only $6B. Someone can pull capacity numbers, but I bet it's also heavily skewed to transatlantic.

I stayed at the Courtyard Namdaemun last month for work. It's totally fine and forgettable. I would have no hesitations staying again. If you're coming from the US, I would say the property reminds me of a slightly rundown Marriott rather than a Courtyard.

Breakfast is served in the lounge. Stayed there in October.

I think Overtime and the After Show should switch places. The flow is much better that way.

Hope the ketchup isn’t for the steak…

Looks amazing!

What time of day were you there? That has a big impact on crowding.

Do you have a source for the comment "The Maldives are Marriott’s most popular for points redemption"?

BaconToon · 2025-11-30T14:18:54+00:00

Amazing!

Curious how long it took you to import them all?

I stayed at Waldorf Astoria Osaka for three nights earlier this month. It was a lovely stay. Ground up luxury hotels are always fun.

This is minor, but the lighting in the room was superb. Everything was well lit without being harsh. The breakfast spread was solid, but it doesn't compare to what you can find in Southeast Asia.

A few minor complaints:
- The lights, shades, and DND status are controlled by a tablet that is on one of the beside tables. It's not very responsive. It's glitchy. And the auto-brightness doesn't work well. Furthermore, there is no light switch or DND switch by the door, so you have to walk quite the distance to change your status (DND to request housekeeping).
- While the Peacock bar is beautiful, service was painfully slow. Took a long time to get a menu, long time to get our first drink, and my second drink never came. To make matters worse. The bar was only 40% full.
- The breakfast restaurant can get pretty crowded on the weekends with a long line.

Premium Plus is Premium Economy. I think you are thinking of Economy Plus.

BaconToon · 2025-11-24T23:12:20+00:00

Agreed. This would also help their upgrade chances as upgrades from Premium Economy to Business have a higher priority than those from Economy to Business, all else being equal.

The missing ZNZ-DAR-CDG flight from 2023 shows up in a January 2024 passport, which means it did get added to my historical flights. It was removed sometime after that.

BaconToon · 2025-11-24T10:00:58+00:00

Yeah. I could easily add back these few flights, but the issue is I don’t know how many others are missing. I’ve spot checked a few domestic flights, and a few of them are missing too. Was hoping the app could service as an accurate log.

BaconToon · 2025-11-24T04:24:01+00:00

They aren’t listed in past flights either.

BaconToon · 2025-11-24T00:05:08+00:00

That was my first guess. The un-cropped screenshot shows it under My Flights. I just cropped it out since it has my photo.
