We were all confirmed.Īs I mentioned in my snow day post, it took two weeks for the snow to come, but boy did it snow as we made the drive to Zurich for our flight. I went to bed on Tuesday night fully expecting the space to be open when I woke up, and it was. Would a last seat open for me or I would be flying home in economy class? I really wasn’t worried. 70K Aeroplan miles for my wife and son and 2.5K miles for my daughter. I grabbed them immediately, booking my wife, son, and daughter (a lap infant) on one ticket. Sure enough, on Tuesday business class seats opened for Thursday’s flight…two of them. Our return date was flexible, but I took a look at flight loads (just fare buckets, not actual loads) and decided that nonstop space in SWISS business would open on Thursday. When it comes to award travel, I can almost always accurately gauge whether award space will open up on a particular flight.
While the thought of flying home in Lufthansa First Class to “ right my wrong” on the way did cross my mind, we decided a better expenditure was to fly home nonstop in SWISS business. My wife had a different reaction to the flight.įamily Trip In SWISS Business Class, ZRH-LAX We’re back in Los Angeles after a lovely trip in SWISS business class…for me at least.
