lmao at "it wouldn't be a UA flight without gate lice and pax in the wrong line". leaving from SFO on a 744 you would think they would have signs/lines for all 5 boarding groups. not that it matters because there's prob 150 pax in group 1.
this is the first polaris asia tr i have seen, and the asian food seems to actually somewhat resemble asian food for once. kudos to the legacy of SMI/J
hope your CA/LH F flights go well!
