1) Ask for the pajamas!!!
2) The United Polaris lounge is fantastic!! Get to the airport with enough time to check it out! The a la carte dining is actually quite good
3) Never done it personally but supposedly in the longer routes you can ask for a mattress pad

Mattress pad is a pro tip! Make sure to ask a FA for one before takeoff. They only keep a few.

The Polaris lounge is fantastic. The product itself is pretty nice. If you are tall, the lay flat may be slightly uncomfortable

Enjoy it cause in 2 years the best amenities will be striped from the product

I assume you mean actual Polaris and not faux-laris? (New seats with the four across cabin)

The seat is good. Best seats if you’re traveling with a companion is bulkhead D/G, solo is bulkhead A/L (bulkhead footwells are bigger). If bulkhead is taken, just go with any other odd row, even rows slant into the aisle and are much less private.

Food is ok and wine selection gets more and more limited. The soft product is a far cry from what was launched but it’s not bad.

Enjoy! Still much better than the 8 across 772

Eat and drink everything

It is two steps down still from ME and several Asian airlines. But decent. Still better to eat at a good restaurant but you won’t regret having an hour in the lounte

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
