So far, I too have found the reports of nasty RCCs exaggerated. I've been in a few that weren't so great, but mostly they've been fine. I've also experienced nothing but niceness by the people working the front desk in those lounges.
UA requires either a government-issued photo ID or boarding pass with your membership card for entry. I've noticed that some agents at the front desk are just in the habit of asking for a boarding pass, because for UA members, it appears they can just scan the boarding pass (I witnessed this at DEN yesterday with three customers ahead of me in the entry line). But if you don't have a boarding pass, an ID should be sufficient. There are signs that I've seen at every RCC I've been in this month that indicate this. |

That's hilarious. A few times I've gotten "Oh, you're ConciergeMike...nice to meet you"

Paris - I put the ticket on hold last night. 100,000 SkyTeam USA miles and put together an itinerary with A330 WBC x 2 goodness. Also placed a hold on nights (got all but one) at Park Hyatt Paris Vendome last evening with points, which largely explains my soon-to-start Hyatt Place mattress run to earn FFNs instead of burning that many points.
Tonight's stay will also requalify me for Hyatt Diamond (four more suite upgrades) until 2011. |

Now for IAH news...I was told a delay in the train extension from B to A terminals and looking like end of 2010 or 2011 before it will be active. it was supposed to be Q12010 when they cut the A to C shuttle. Too bad CO wasn't more involved in the construction of this segment like they were with the first two. They got the C-B section up and running in just over 12 months a decade ago, and the C-D/E section didn't take this long either. |

What's the deal with that? There are signs in the A bag claim stating it's opening fall 2010, but the way that project has been moving along in recent months, I've found it hard to believe it was really going to take another year to be completed.

I never knew about a sign in A, I have not been outside security but twice there and that was just to waste time. (before I was a President's Club member and had long layovers) |
It's the merge police!

No such thing as an accidental discharge. Why was a machine gun, of all things, not checked to be devoid of ammo before being cleaned? At least it wasn't that five-incher on the bow. :rolleyes: Always check the chamber, boys and girls.
That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake

Last night I played pool for the first time in a long while. It's a little like riding a bicycle: the muscle memory and eye are still there during periods of dormancy. Tavern pool is far better than a thousands of dollars, laser leveled, slate table in someone's house. When beer and a table surface that makes putting greens seem flat and true are thrown into the mix, then it's backgammon vs chess: intimidation and luck, added to a basic level of okay skill, makes for a fun time rather than a cold test of pure skill.

Congrats! That will be a nice trip, and I'm impressed anytime someone manages to get a reward itinerary on DL at the lowest possible redemption rate.

Heh. Me, too. Non-travel, I ordered a car. ETA is New Year's. Glad that's overwith, been thinking about doing it all year.

As of right now, I'm not going to post or even think anything derogatory about UA. I just read the "first flight on UA" thread. The OP's trip report was quite favorable, but what just struck me in the replies is that, as much as there is undeniably scorn on the part of some UA loyalists toward CO, there is much in the opposite direction as well.
So, I am not going to prejudge; there may, or may not, be plenty of reasons for complaints and lampoons in the near future. |
