SunCEC2007: First travel preparations for CEC2007
Sunday, September 30. 2007
At this time in seven days, i will be at the Sun Customer Engineering Conference 2007 in Las Vegas, and i´m starting to prepare things the travel for the event. Yesterday my FTL card arrived, so this may fasten up things a little bit at the checkin and the security.
In an attempt of insanity, i´ve scheduled a customer meeting late at friday in Berlin. Thus i fly from Berlin instead of Hamburg. Is quite a trip this time: From Berlin to Frankfurt, from Frankfurt to Denver (hey, my first flight in a A340-600) and from there to Las Vegas. And on the backhaul from Vegas to San Francisco, from San Francisco to Frankfurt and then back to Berlin.
I´ve spend almost all miles in my account to get a business class upgrade for the leg between SFO and FRA. But until now, they didn´t want my miles: No confirmation so far. I assume this will be a quite awful trip back as the last time: With 1,92cm any known economy seat in any known airline is just to small (things will be better in A380 as far as i know, but this doesn´t help next saturday). I hope, that i´m able to gather a exit row seat or it´s likely that my mood will be abyssimal when arriving ...
PS: I even finally found my passport last week but now my appartment looks like after a bomb explosion.

One piece of advice: Be careful with the word "bomb" ... you never know which NSA bot is scanning your lines and connecting it with "fly" and "Las Vegas", maybe you will get a "special visitor program" now ^^
just kidding, have a nice trip !

FTL Card? Faster Than Light? That should definitely speed up check-in...
FTL is the short form for the Lufthansa Frequent Traveller Status in the Miles&More program (their frequent flyer program)
a340-600 schönes flugzeug , man merkt den unterschied, dumm damals aber genau wegen DIESEM Typ lange wartezeit in Denver, da nur eine Startbahn lang genug war .. das aber nach nur insgesamt 5h Verspätung aus Vegas ... mein Fazit ob Fernreise oder nur in den USA ... ergibt gleichen Stressfaktor
