SFO is landing on the 10s this morning with strong winds out of the east, which is exceedingly rare (maybe about the same frequency as departures on the 19s, which was happening last week with strong winds out of the south). They are also departing on the 10s, but that is much more common, relatively speaking.

Having gone 3 days without power and lost some fencing, and seen others lose cars and gain skylights (!) I sure hope this one isn't as bad as last week. Sitting in my home office right now, it's not even close, thankfully. No doubt that after that experience, UA is being cautious.
Arriving on 10L is awesome - wish I was flying in today!!

No joke today. Listening to LiveATC. Go around one after the other. Emirates A380 just did another one. Not a great day for joy flying.
United 2262 triple 7 just went around stating "Winds were outside of our limits". That makes 5 go-arounds in a row.

I got lucky today at SFO. My flight to SIN was delayed 20 min for departure but expect on time arrival.
Polaris food seems better than before. So is Polaris lounge food.
Free T-mobile Wi-Fi is great!
