Geri Bleicher in First Class on her last flight. For some odd reason, American Airlines had given us both (Phillip and Geri Bleicher) a double upgrade (this is highly unusual). We had purchased two coach tickets and when they upgraded us they upgraded us from Coach to Business then to First class on this Boeing 777 three-class plane. It turned out to be Geri’s last flight of her life as she flew from Miami, FL to Chicago, IL on May 18, 2010 (a Tuesday). She would later pass away three weeks later on June 8, 2010 (Tuesday).
