I'm in Newark in one piece, although I put the DIMMs in the wrong order and so my laptop periodically freezes. Hence the Treo...
OTOH, I got bumped up to first, where I'm currently sitting. (grin) However, I didn't get a chance to let Jen know...

are you going to be a gentleman and let jen sit there for part of the trip?

Ooooooo, good point!

You've got to be kidding, right?

Trading off seats mid-flight is probably frowned upon by the TSA at this point, and is definitely a PITA for your fellow passengers and crew. Plus, a first-class ticket is worth thosands of dollars, for which brian1789 has spent an awful lot of time on airplanes. It's not like sharing a soda; more like attempting to share an all-expense-paid vacation for one that you won.

Generally a pretty generous person, I certainly wouldn't be sharing any transcontinental first-class upgrade I were to receive -- though my having that option is unlikely, as I'm an occasional tourist who flys on a budget. But I also didn't begrudge it one bit the last time my travel companion got upgraded away from me.

You got that right.

On occasion, he has let me have his upgrade, but then I'm married to him. : )

I might let princeofwands have an upgrade I received, given that he's 6'2" and I'm short enough to stand under the overhead storage without stooping, short enough that putting my carryon under the seat in front of me doesn't generally stop me from stretching out my legs.

Might.

I think Brian sees me as co-owner of the frequent flyer account (quite frankly, I do too) since I spend so much time as a single parent : ) That said, he's generally generous with me about upgrades.

On each of the (domestic) flights I was on in the last week, we were told by the crew that we weren't even allowed to use the bathrooms in cabins other than the one we were ticketed in, so I doubt they'd look favorably on the idea of switching out seats mid-flight.
