Boarding:
Please note that Concourse C requires a long shuttle ride and please allow twenty to thirty minutes of traveling time from the Main Concourse! There is also no lounge at Concourse C and less shops over there. Please plan accordingly. Boarding began at 9:10am and the loading was busy in the back, but first class was less than half full. First class cabin manager greeted me at the entrance, and since the passengers at 1K and 1D also arrived at the same time, things were a bit hassled. Pre-takeoff beverage was served along with pajama and amenity kit.
Headsets, slippers and a light blanket were already provided at the neighbor seat
Gate 65
Entrance – Door One at G-STBE
