Hello everyone. I'm a new member to this forum, actually just joined a few minutes ago. I live in North Jersey and fly out of EWR every time unless I am visiting family then I will fly out of PHL. I try not to do PHL though, since it is one heck of a mess morning, afternoon, and evening.

I currently have UA Premier and mostly fly United due to my employer's contract with them which usually makes CO slightly more expensive. Sometimes I am able to squeeze a CO flight here and there, but since I fly UA almost every time I decided to stick my points with them. Every one of my business trips falls into one of the following routines:

EWR --> DEN --> ABQ
EWR --> DEN --> SAN
EWR --> PHX
EWR --> DEN --> PSP
EWR --> ORD --> MLI

If I fly CO then swap out DEN with IAH.

Just wanted to drop a hello and introduce myself to everyone here. My next step is to see if the Red Carpet Club at DEN is worth looking to get access to, but before I post that question I will do some thread searching (yes, I'm well versed on forum etiquette!)

Cannot speak on the routing, however I feel the den red carpet lounge is a total ripoff. They charge for drinks, even on international first class tickets, the food and free drink selections are very poor.

The desk at the top of the stairs is helpful for getting upgrades and making various other arrangements, especially in the event of flint delays and cancellations, they even once got me a free double cabin upgrade from status.

Overall ID say it depends on how often you'll be using the lounge, but overall I've never found the benefit worthwhile.

Welcome to FT, jgg204.

Welcome to FT jgg204. In the future it would help all of us if you would give a more descriptive title line.

Hi jgg2044! From not too far away from EWR.....

I prefer EWR over PHL as well, slightly less hostile parking shuttle drivers.

Have fun on FT!
