That's a pretty nice lobby for a Quality Inn.

Scenario: united flight. I pick a premium economy aisle seat with the middle seat open at checkin. It gets taken by a standby passenger. There's a dude across from me in a middle seat with no one next to him. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN

I'm going to Manila and Chennai in September and then again in October. Company only pays business class for Sr. Managers and above so I hope I get upgraded.  :crossfingers:

I'm guessing I'll probably take Japan Air to Tokyo/Manila and Qatar Air from Chennai back to the US.  I'm going to book my flights next week.

I'm guessing that's what "metal" was referencing.

no, just revamped last year.   It's actually 10, the first boarding group isn't numbered.   I went from a group 2 to group 5 IIRC.
