Wandered up to admiral's club (first) for coffee and granola. The usual food offerings put out (cold cuts, granola, yoghurts, egg, bacon, sausages, bagels, pastries).
Spent a few minutes catching up on the happenings of the world , then ambled over, under the runways, to the gate for:
JFK-CLT-AVL, booked with Expedia for not very much in cheapest US bucket. Collects 0.25/mile
JFK-AVL I had been offered paid upgrade to first for $88
, which I decided was worth it. Be aware (for those who do it), paid upgrades to first on US do NOT earn First rates, but earn as 1/mile. So as a WP for 540 miles I got 1080 QF points plus 20SC.
No delays. No dramas. Food offerings were snack packets. And, even allowing that I am in LOTFAP, and I hesitate to grace it with the name, but teh WORST coffee I have ever had.
Arrived into CLT on time. Grey, low cloud, a bit bumpy coming down, but not too bad. My first visit to this US Airways hub.
Very pleasant (now) Admiral's Club. For those planning to use it as a staging post, note the AC does NOT have showers.
