I see two Dans on the first flights. Did Mrs Dan get an upgrade as well? ;)

I hope Dan isn't my last name ;)

She still travels with her license that has her maiden name.

She's unfortunately CO Dirt.
I upgraded her using 15K miles from my account for the EWR-IAH-SNA segments last week in anticipation of clearing EUA for free for myself.  I would have redeposited the miles for free (as a Plat) had I not cleared EUA/battlefield.

Plat companion upgrades don't clear via EUA when flying CO (they do when flying UA) so I didn't want to risk waiting for a battlefield upgrade for her on a G fare.

The way I look at it, it's like paying 7,500 miles per person for the upgrade because we would just sit together in Y if just I got the EUA and she didn't clear the battlefield. 

Looks like CO is holding back 3 seats on EWR-IAH and 1 seat on IAH-SNA for last minute sales, paid upgrades, and finally battlefield upgrades, so those odds are pretty slim.

Seemed like a good strategy.  I was even thinking at the time of redepositing the 15K at the gate if I thought she could clear the battlefield, but I don't see that happening at this point.

Still pretty funny, there are DAN folks on both flights.
Probably last name is Daniels or Danielz ;)

Now just 1 F seat left EWR-IAH and F is now full for IAH-SNA.

Definitely played it right by paying 15K for my wife's upgrade and getting the free EUA for my upgrade!

SoCal here we come!

Anything in EWR kosher-wise?  Going to be there in the morning.

I know in LGA I got some great kosher CY granola/parfait at CIBO by the Continental gates.
Anything like that in EWR?

In EWR itself no. But 5 min. away in Elizebath, NJ there are a few decent eateries.

That's too bad.  The kosher selection at the CIBO stand in LGA is extremely impressive.

Just did a more extensive google search, and it appears there might be something. In terminal A, there is a store called "Grain Station" they supposedly sell "Yummy Sandwich" which is under star-k.

Sure, but in all my years of connecting in EWR I've yet to have a flight to/from term A.
