The employees are interns of a sub-contractor.

So when do they give you the water and what do they do if E+ is already filled? I am guessing this is before security (otherwise the Premier Line is of little use) and you can't take water through. If E+ is filled on your flight do they give you an alternate choice? And if so how do they know?

Premier lane access gives you boarding group 1 at the gate, so not useless.

I believe the plan was if econ+ is full, they were going to try to validate your BP for use on another flight at a later date.

I won the game book, woo hoo!

I had a few minutes between flights this morning at LAX, so I went to the wheel. I won the game book. It's half Soduku and half crosswords.

Actually, I landed on Premier Line, but since I'm a 1K, she offered me the bottled water. I asked for the book instead and got it.

If you land on RCC, they will stamp your boarding pass for RCC access that day. (so no RCC passes for trading use!)

If you get E+, you get E+ for all your flights that day.

I'll be passing through again this evening, I'll go for the playing cards then!

Now off to sign the message board in the RCC before my flight!

I'm surprised no one has made any comments about warm nuts and this promotion.

That's too bad. I was hoping to get one of these for my brother.

Thanks, but where do you get the water?
