Why post this here? I already have my LA plans set, but if the above is true then why post this to those who wouldn't have received that e-mail considering it is so "select"?

I expect UC to also do a non exclusive trip.

I got the same invitation so it was certainly not very "select".

Put it on my tab, O wise, all-knowing, and benevolent Doss. How I yearn to feast on your table scraps...

RE: UCLA exclusive trip
$1200 per person is kind of steep for airfare and transfers and uninspiring tailgate. Bought flight tickets for my family this week for $1550 for 4 of us, same travel dates.
Hotel is probably be $330 a night and rental from Silver Car will be $50 per day.

I was thinking the same thing...that must be some kind of tailgate because $1200 per person for air, transfers and tailgate is a rip off.
Haven't booked yet but have been pricing the trip and Delta has non-stop RT from CVG to LAX for $299 PP for the air. $900 for transfers and a tailgate?
rip off.

First Class? Ugh...that's absolute LAST resort. I feel so petty the few times I've had to fly commercial. Plus, I don't trust the little curtain they put up to keep out the rabble in coach. I mean, that curtain isn't keeping out the air. I don't want to breathe the same air as THOSE people. It's dreadful.

Yeah, that is pretty quaint. I always get UPGRADED to first class. Why book that way when they will upgrade you for free?
Edit: You better hurry Doss, there are only 2 left for the 8 AM flight on Thursday. $880.60 per.

As a Delta Platinum I get automatic upgrades. The worst thing is when some of you rear plane people want to use our toilet. Gross!
