<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2411156, member: 31533"]Update. I have been away from this for awhile, so I am extending this contest until May 31st. At that time I will be looking for the best answers, whether or not the winner actually accomplishes everything I was looking for on the two contests. </p><p><br /></p><p>For those who may have wondered why I went 'radio-silent', I had a wonderful 3 week trip to Japan and then a not-so-wonderful couple of weeks now with jet-lag. This contest seemed to get off track during the time I initially traveled to Japan, which on United Airlines through Chicago was not too pleasant. I had aisle seats which were ok as far as seat-wise goes (compared to normal not-aisle seats), but based on the whole travel experience with United and comparing it to all other trips I've taken in the past number of years, I have to conclude that either I was extremely unlucky with the boarding assignments (getting all 4 and 5's) or that United assigns general boarding based on doing window seats first, center next, and aisle last --- the assumption being it's easier to board that way. I think it is that way with United and so if i ever fly them again (big if, since I hadn't flown them for awhile based on a couple trips I took with them before) I definitely will go for the window seat. Also on the flight into Japan I had a seat that the seat pocket was broken and they made no attempt to fix it even though I informed them before we left and the stewardess said she called a mechanic for it. Luckily, I carry some old baby-diaper pins (you know the kind with the characters on the heads) for different situations that might need them, and so I did a do-it-yourself seat fix for the flight. Good thing, because the broken seat pocket left actually 0 percent leg room, since it was against my knees. I even left the pin in on the flight afterwards, since it seemed that that might help the next flyer. It was a nice one with a little duckie head. And the flight was full so I could not change seats. </p><p><br /></p><p>The flight back was not pleasant either, being full and some bumpiness made the seat belt light be lit most of the time.
