Otherwise you’ll end up in Redmond and be looking for tee times at Tetherow.

This is the point of the different group boarding lanes. If you’re in Group 1 and don’t get there until Group 5 is boarding you can walk up the other boarding lane and dump into the front of the line. But, I am sure many will think you’re an ass.
In that situation I just get in the back of the line anyway.

I agree. Im a United GS gui and had to fly Delta yesterday where I have no status and boarded Group 2 and this douche in a Masters polo comes strolling up and skips the line (and gives no hint at his status or anything) and strolls on by… I was kinda flabbergasted

Did you get GS via spend, a corp perk, or some combo of the two?
I don’t know the GS requirements but imagine i got the status via roughly 90% corp travel and also have the United Visa
It’s not published but understood to be at least $50K spend annually to qualify. I’m pretty close most years but not quite there and haven’t made it. They also give GS spots to companies that have big spend and then the company can give it out however they please. That’s a common way to get it as well. Sounds like you are getting there via spend.
It’s a revenue per mile toon not just total spend. I always got screwed because my old corporate policy had us fly economy for domestic with business for international. So even though I would have like $65k+ in flights, my revenue per mile would get pulled down because of monthly trips from ORD to LGA.
interesting. all my business travel is from NYC to California, Europe, and Latam, so maybe the revenue per mile helps get me there?
What’s your home airport? Mine was ORD which made it tough.
usually Newark
Monitoring the hitters at United - who have delayed my departure (as a result of previously delayed aircraft) 5 times now, though only 2 hours total. Have a connection at IAD for a 10:30pm over to Scotland - we should be fine, but not impressed at the moment!

@PinePocky has been there and said it was beautiful with a semi-outdoor terrace area and “beautiful food”.
We just tried to hit the Centurion lounge at terminal four in JFK, and it is easily the most shoe-horned-in, claustrophobic lounge I’ve ever been in. The food looks great, but there was nowhere to eat it. No matter where you sat people were going to be almost on top of you as they walked by.
We are waiting on the Ethiad/Chase Sapphire lounge.

The Sapphire Lounge at LGA was meh. No windows made it feel like a dungeon.
Centurion lounge at JFK is an abomination.

IAH was pretty brutal today. Terrible traffic getting into the airport. The construction is everywhere. How long is the project?

Another multi delay morning on the return trip from United!
This time I am going to miss my connection in Dulles, was supposed to get back to CLT around 7 tonight, now I won’t be back until close to midnight.

we’re connecting through SFO to Hawaii on Wednesday on United and have two hours to kill. what’s the best option? United lounge or Centurion? (We’ll have access to both)
As a follow-up, this Lounge was excellent. They manage load appropriately, they give you table options and seat you, there is made to order food delivered to table as well as a kickass selection of dishes on buffet (the chicken tajine is some of the best I’ve ever had), and the drinks were lovely.
