Except that you are COMPLETELY OFFBASE about seat A, since he is beside seat L. Good point. Could not see that in original screencap. He's in 8G. The A and G seats in even numbered rows both 'point' to the right. sstackho and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also travelled (past tense) a lot for business and those screens are for pods and there are no pods on a narrow body. I’m with @maplebanana as he seems to have even more experience. Maybe we should put our travel loyalty statuses in our profile too. 😊 2 years ago, in a time that seems like 20 years ago, the only two forums I would frequent were this one and flyertalk. I've been on this forum for 10 years but rarely post because I don't have much new to contribute.

El Hombre Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 1 hour ago, maplebanana said: I'm going to sound like a real douche here, but bear with me. That's a United Polaris seat. Those planes fly only internationally, unless it's Newark <-> SFO/LAX or SFO <-> HNL. The overhead on the right is the middle of the plane's overhead. He's tilted towards the middle because he's in an even numbered row, seat A. Boston Logan does not have any international routes via United, so he would have had to connect somewhere (likely EWR). From there, there are many routes with United Polaris seats, including London, Paris, and Frankfurt. I (used to) fly United for business far too often. As a seasoned Star Alliance traveler, I really appreciated this post. maplebanana, JamboAl and baulderdash77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I’m on Flyertalk as well although more of a lurker than a contributor. Most unique flight I took was on the top deck of an A380 on a Lufthansa flight HKG-MUC. Slept through all of Kazakhstan which was quite the feat and then saw Bayern-Augsburg at the Allianz Arena the same night I landed. maplebanana, gator, El Hombre and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyb Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 He's in a pod! Nice to see his new team is taking care of their talent. He's definitely not taking a flight to a CMNT camp. h coach, Cheeta, gator and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I guess he is just going to sign a contract, pass a physical and pose for a photo before flying immediately back for the WCQ? Ruffian and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, but if he was flying from BOS to FRA or MUC, he would be flying on Lufthansa metal. For DUB, Aer Lingus metal. I don't know how his ticket was ticketed but from the pic he is definitely on United metal. And United in BOS does not operate any international destinations. Interestingly, sticking with the hypothesis that he connected in EWR... EWR-FRA is on a 787-10 with the usual 1-2-1 config (where he was sitting). EWR-MUC (close to Augsburg) is on a 767-300 in an older 2-1-2 config that only has 6 rows (so not the plane he was on). He could still be going to Augsburg with another connection or just driving though. Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we feel about Club Brugge? Pretty damn good. UCL regular and the elite team in Belgium the last few seasons. I see them in a similar class to clubs like Rangers and Besiktas, where some of our other important guys ply their trade. I prefer this to Augsburg, even though the Bundesliga is clearly a step or two above the Belgian league. If he's as good as we think (know) he is, the exposure at Brugge will help him make a future move to the Bundesliga, to a club that is better than Augsburg.
