My original flight was SAN-SFO, connecting to SFO-SAN and I had a 60 minute connection so after walking from the domestic terminal to the UA international terminal I had 45 minutes. Now when I make that connection I never go to the lounge (after this experience in SFO) and am always waiting in the boarding area.
