It’s Christmas Eve and I’m starting this blog entry from the Charlotte airport. We booked an 8:20pm flight to New York. Being with both started new jobs, we didn’t ask for any time off work today figuring we’re low on the totem pole so we’d not likely get it. The plan was to have the car packed and ready to go right after work. This morning, we decided to pay extra for a First Class upgrade. We’ve never done it before so looking forward to the upgrade.
Jim’s job closed up shop at 3pm with advanced notice a week ahead. My job, however, didn’t appear to have the same intentions. It wasn’t until 3:45 that they decided to let everyone go.
We got to the airport about 5ish, parked, took the shuttle, and checked in. We hoped to maybe get an earlier flight but our ticket wouldn’t transfer. Oh well, we have a lot of time to kill. Dinner and then surf the net.
OMG, First Class was amazing! We joked about watching the commoners board the plane as we sipped our beverages. It was fun. It was $90 each, yes each, for this upgrade for just little over an hour flight. Also, that was for 1 way. So, what I’m saying is, First Class will not likely be a part of our regular travel plans.
We checked into the Hilton Garden Inn Times Square and settled into our room. We went to a 7-11 a few blocks away for some in room beverage supplies.
The view from the room is nice. It was dark when we arrived. Here’s a couple of photos during the day:
That’s all for today.
