Living in London

I just returned to London after a four night stay in Berkeley. I was attending another of the quarterly meetings of the Haas Alumni Board.

With so many trips back and forth to California I have finally achieved Premier Executive status on United Airlines. If you are going to fly, then it is best to fly a lot. Airports and planes can be highly stressful. However, if you fly a lot, then you reach Premier status where the perks are enough to make the experience tolerable, if not enjoyable. Of course, with so many flights, there are plenty of miles to spend on upgrades as well. Business Class on long flights is a treat. Never mind the improved meals, it's the extra personal space and the ability to sleep fully reclined that turns a 10 hour ordeal into a quick jaunt across the pond.

Business Class, it's the only way to fly!
