I am glad your flight was timely.

UA 895 is a great flight for flying in GF ... the GFL (IFL) is also connected to the air bridge at gate C18 so you can board directly from the first class lounge.

I wish there was a way to buy a nice bottle of wine in duty free and then be able to have the cabin staff open it for you inflight. That would be the only way to get a decent bottle of wine in a UA premium cabin.
