[...] Day 1: we get up at 4 to catch an early morning flight. BTW, 5am on a Thursday? Great time to go to Kennedy Airport, no traffic, no lines. Awesome. Even worth getting up in the middle of the night for. Only bad point: the flight. United kind of sucks. [...]

I would end up eating my own foot if no one gave me food on a 6 hour flight!!!
That is why I love Qantas, Singapore Airlines, British Airways -you get quite tasty meals, proper inflight entertainment, extra snacks in between meals too (yes, I’m a hobbit, and I require my 2nd, 3rd, 4th lunches..)..e.g apples, nuts, brownies.. ice cream
I just flew with NWA from Amsterdam – Detroit, and I must add, they were really good too. Excellent entertainment system, and excellent wine and cheese list!!
I can’t say I’m too impressed with SAS though. It’s not so much the airline that I’m unimpressed with.. it’s the passengers. Every time I board a scandinavian flight to Norway, 99.9% of the passengers are drunk. Even on a 7am flight. Not fun at all

I can add to your list: They don’t pre-board for passengers with kids anymore. So, you have to wait in line with everyone else, lug all your stuff down the jetway, hold up the line, hit every seated passenger with your diaper bag and purse and baby’s legs, and try to quickly sit down with your little one. SO sucky. On my return flight the first class passengers insisted I board with them when we all realized that they weren’t going to let me pre-board.

How is not allowing pre-boarding a good thing for anyone??

Whoa, ‘no food on a 6 hour flight – are you kidding me? Yup, sounds like a pathetic airline! We gets snacks on our 3 hour flights to Florida for crying out loud!
