I'll be on todays flight. Looking forward to trying the hard product we will probably have for the next decade.

Tried for SFO to EWR last month but it went on MX delay.

At T-6, there's 1 Polaris seat (12G - a straight), 2 E+ (25K and 29K right middles) and 8 Y seats left showing in the seat map. 19 folks showing up on the upgrade list with 59 booked out of 60 Polaris seats and 38 checked in. 1 NRSA on the joint standby/upgrade lists.

Weather over the Northern Pacific looks fairly clear.

Enjoy your bears!

Heading to the airport in an hour. I have a 1K colleague flying with me today, so not sure I will be able to get my colleague into the Global First Lounge at G98. If not, I will head to the United Club, and get to the G94 half an hour prior to boarding time to see if there is anything festival planned.

Hope to see Polar Bears giving out today.

Looking forward to say hello to Flyertalkers at the gate area. i will be at the GS line.

United App shows G94. We should check updated gate information at the airport.

The 77W tail number is 2132. The second 77W UA has received.

#2131 is flying into SFO from EWR this morning and will be parked at G89.

Interesting, I did not know gate 89 could handle a 77W. I have never seen anything larger than a 757-300 parked there.

Gate 89 was reconfigured to handle the 77W.

Walking to GFL saw 747 at G94. Agent said its going to NRT. Thank goodness. Seem to be UA folks in and around GFL. They have the long counter table in GFL posted with a RESERVED sign.

I'm in the SFO Arrivals by United Lounge now (just arrived from PEK, connecting to BOS). Some catering people just came in and picked up five big boxes of "baked goods," and told the agent they were heading to G94. So looks like you'll have some snacks

Make the turn to HKG. There's a cookie in it for you.

UA employee activity picking up. They are even adjusting the blinds to make the GFL look nice.
