Both flights are operated with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, not with Airbus A380s, so first class is still a bed with great food and service but isn't their suites class product.

That only excludes a very small portion of the population, a low single digit percent most likely, but the group has a high likelihood of continually switching products. Continue reading Over 5/24?

Naturally they left late, though I'm surprised they were just 47 minutes behind. D0 just doesn't apply to the Superbowl champions.
