Off to Burma
What is it about Burma and airline currency desks? After Korean Airlines offered RGN-BKK-ICN-LAX First Class tickets for $245 last year, you'd think they'd learn. I bagged three of those but was only able to fly one, including an amazing KE A380 ICN-LAX flight. My RGN round 1 trip report including CX and KE First
Incredibly a few months later, travelocity.co.uk and NH/DL combined for an even bigger blooper... a £54.50 one way RGN-NRT-SEA Business Class fare, with the 6 hour RGN-NRT flight on NH's new all J class 73G. Despite the fact that it was only Business, Short hair Francis and jfkeze convinced me to hop on board. With other FTers joining in, we picked July 1 and pretty much bought out the entire flight that day. The screen shot of the seat map from 9 months out was pretty impressive.
Compared to the inbound that same day. 
Now to position for the DO. After searching for interesting routes, I lucked out and found a First Class O seat on NH's JFK-NRT 77W, connecting to NRT-BKK in TG First, and then to RGN in TG business. At T-14, UA released DEN-LGA to complete the ticket. So for only 70,000 UA miles, I had DEN-LGA/JFK-NRT-BKK-RGN, with both long-hauls in 77W First Suites.
With Mrs. SFO only (finally) mildly complaining last night, I bid adieu at 6AM and headed out to DIA to start 3 days of my favorite hobbies... flying, eating and drinking.

Another beautiful Colorado morning with little traffic all the way. Can I drive and take pics at the same time?
Not surprisingly, I was unable to OLCI, so I headed for the counter.
The itinerary was also giving my friendly agent trouble. One look at her screen and she had that look of incredulity... "Where are you going today?" She had to enlist help from another agent to complete the check in. Apparently the LGA-JFK connection was too much for SHARES to handle.
In spite of my International itinerary, I got the magic three beeps at PreCheck. Not quite as stream-lined today, as a couple of rookies in front felt the need to disrobe, ignoring my "you know you don't need to take off anything in this line" comment. Whatever.
Lots of time this morning for pics of what really is a very attractive airport and one I've grown to like, in spite of being located half way to Nebraska.
