Plane: B757-200
Status: United Premier 1K
Check-in: Premier 1K
Security: CLEAR & TSA Pre-check.
Seat: Upgraded from Economy Plus to Polaris. Used Plus Points to jump ahead in the Upgrade queue. Figured it was worth it for the seat. CAUTION: This is United’s Polaris-lite aka Fauxlaris. It’s only Polaris in name. Still: It’s a lie-flat seat all the way down to MCO.
Flight: Very nice and relaxing flight. It’s amazing what a comfortable seat can do to enhance the travel experience. Nice and professional crew. Glad I used Plus Points to snag this seat.
Comments: There was an hour delay leaving EWR as the fuel system went down on the plane and we had to wait for the fix. United Club came in clutch! Lounges definitely make hanging out in airports so much easier.
This did lead to a crazy situation. As I was enjoying way too many freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, my phone keep getting a call from an unknown 800#. Finally decided to answer and it was a good thing that I did. It was the gate agent wanting to know if I was still taking the flight as the doors were about to close. They had started boarding and I never got the notice via my app.
Rushed out of the club to the gate. They shut the door right behind me as I boarded. I felt like an …….. holding everyone up. Not sure why I didn’t get the update.
Thank you to that wonderful agent for calling me!!! THANK YOU!!!
