United 882, Tokyo to Chicago – N788UA

On the on-demand inflight entertainment system, I am watching a documentary from PBS Frontline, entitled Growing Up Trans.
For almost two decades, I’ve appreciated the “Lesbian-Friendly Skies” of United Airlines, and with the discussion shifting to transgender and gender-variant issues, I am grateful that I can get educated on my flight, and that United is an airline consistently friendly to the entire LGBT spectrum. (And I vastly preferred watching this to, say, “I Am Cait.”)
My journey back to the US is booked as a United Airlines mileage ticket. Due to availability at lower mileage amounts, I was able to book a Polaris First Class seat out of Tokyo; to prolong my experience, I chose to book Flight 882 to Chicago, rather than a flight to San Francisco. (A nonstop to Los Angeles would’ve required me to cough up extra miles due to low availability – and it did not have a first class anyway.) That meant I was flying at the very front of the plane, on board my favorite type of aircraft (Boeing 777) flown by my favorite airline (United).
