only then will you have achieved true 1K status.
Don’t forget to shout out that “I am 1K” during pre-boarding, in case the gate agent forgets asking the 1Ks to pre-board after Passengers needing special assistance, Military, GS and family with children less than 2 are being called.

Seriously, 1Ks do spend good money on UA and deserve to get the pre-boarding slot. Group 1 is just too long.
