For the headset, make sure you check out the fit and feel. You keep the thing on for a few hours, and it starts to dig in either on the outer ear where the arm sits or where the speaker is if it’s an in-ear type. If you’re used to it, don’t worry, but I went through a couple of the motorola models before settling on the 710. Small, good sound, good fit, and OK (NOT for open-window driving) noise reduction. YMMV.

Alex: i can get that fairly easily on JetBlue at no additional cost, plus have my own TV for the longer hauls. and Frontier’s very good about giving Summit folks exit rows - also with TV.

overall, i just find that United equipment is older, and that they nickel and dime customers. can’t swing it, but to each their own.

Bree: how’s the laptop at the coffee shop treating you?

but don’t sweat it, i don’t plan on letting anyone actually see me wear a headset - car use only. like my glasses.

I hate to point out the obvious but no one who wears a bluetooth headset deserves legroom of any sort.

At least that’s what I read in Hammurabi.

It’s funny, I go out of my way to fly United because I can be virtually assured of decent legroom in Econ. Plus.
