No more DE bypass! (I think this opened last Thursday—was kind of hoping it would be a bit longer so I could work opening day but it’s cool to go through as a passenger so soon after opening.)

Screenshot of Flighty showing UA 755 from Reno waiting on a taxiway
Yikes the poor folks on this flight (my plane back home) waiting for our gate to open up, occupied by a very delayed flight to Tampa.
Been waiting there for like 45 minutes.

Ah hm! Yeah I did an MPC submission just in case but the GE line was moving a lot quicker 👍. Good to have options!

Seems to me they just turned off all the infrastructure for it but yeah, I get the feeling it’s all luck of the draw.
I even submitted an MPC just in case but deleted the submission when I discovered the global lane was open 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

I haven’t been following the news but I thought there was no Global Entry but at SFO the kiosks are not working but there is a separate speedy lane (manual picture taking, “anything to declare?”, and that’s it) 🤷🏻♂️ not bad and through in about the same amount of time (=no wait)

United 777-300 with slogan “New Spirit of United” on the side of the nose.
Was wondering what “New Spirit of United” meant and I guess it means I’m going to be flying on their very first 77W.

The guy next to me at the gate blew his nose into a handkerchief, proceeded to shake it out, then fold it up and put it into his back pocket.
I think I just don’t like the idea of a handkerchief as something you basically carry around your snot in all day.
No thanks!

Someone needs to alert this lounge that Christmas music probably is not appropriate at this point.
Unless God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is based on a year-round tune that is appropriate when played on chimes? 🤷🏻♂️
