Got an email from UA a little bit ago. Seems the weather in Chicago tomorrow is making life difficult for the airlines. They said I could change my flight(s) at no cost from CDG to SEA. So I got on their website and had it pull up the options. The first was the same flight from CDG to ORD, then an earlier one to SEA. If weather is an issue, why take that one? The second one leaves CDG an hour an a half earlier and goes through EWR. 6+ hour layover in EWR. OK, we had a 6+ hour layover in ORD, so that no biggie. But, the kicker that made this option worthwhile is that the CDG to EWR leg is in Polaris Business and the EWR to SEA leg is in 1st class. All for the price of our coach tickets. Do you think I jumped on this option? Darned straight I did. I've moved up the taxi reservation from the hotel to CDG (there's an RER strike going on, so my original plan of Metro to Gare du Nord and then RER to CDG is a non-starter) to 5:30 am and we'll ride home in comfort. Yay UA!!! Yay weather!
