So I explained my logic for taking this trip here. Now here is the report!
I had originally booked Southwest, leaving San Francisco at 8:00-ish AM and arriving at 11:30-ish AM. I booked it because I had flight credit from a trip to Atlanta, where the airfare kept going down so I kept rebooking. I did not like this flight at all. It had a layover which made the flight too long. But the first direct flight of the day only landed half an hour earlier and was like three times the price. What to do, what to do…..? Ah fuck it. I ate the Southwest ticket and booked a brand new ticket on United, arriving at 7:40 am. I now have $42 in Southwest credit. But they go literally nowhere from NYC that I would be flying Southwest for. So unless a surprise trip comes up…..well whatever.
I was super, insanely excited to go to Vegas. I ended up upgrading my seat for $24 and ended up with my own row. I was like the tenth person off the plane. This was so exciting! The flight went so fast! What time is it? 7:11! This is an omen!
Look at pretty Las Vegas! I never arrive in the daytime so this made me excited.
