Call from United!!!
Traveling tonight, 1st class on UA, to Melbourne. Received a call from the Red Carpet club to confirm our flight, and was asked the number of bags to check and when we would be arriving. The will meet us curb side, handle our bags, escort us to the club and assist us with all procedures. They claim to have been doing this at LAX for international flights for about a year. This sounds like a great perk and we are traveling on one of those combined point awards that they have discontinued. We have not received this type treatment since our cruise on Holland America with Alaska Airlines points several years ago!!
