How to spend a 9 hour layover?

Ahhhhhhhh……😃😃😃. Throughout the planning of this first leg I wasn’t sure about the 9 hour layover in Houston. I have lounge access from several different travel options (all from travel hacking), and For about 3 seconds I had looked at Polaris lay flat. But the $8,000 price tag made that impossible. So I used miles for the ticket and paid 200 for premium seating.
But…..
This morning when I checked in first class—- Polaris—- Lay flat seats showed up at check in….!! And it was 400.00. Say what?? Yesterday that seat was $8,000 so, I did what any self respecting traveller would do… clicked it and just like that… I’m going lay flat on the 9 hours to Buenos Aires!
The Polaris seat comes with Polaris lounge access on top so now I have access to the exclusive Polaris lounge (not the run of the mill United Lounge) for the 9 hour layover. It’s a total win/win/win/win… heck you get the idea. This will be me flying to Buenos Aires in 22 hours…I’ve never flown this level before…. I’m beyond excited.Read more
