And back home to DEN... via DFW

My G-IV seatmate offered me a ride to LAX and just 10 minutes before the last LAX-DEN flight of the evening.   And it was on time tonight.  So off to the Admirals Club.

At around T-40, I headed downstairs from the Admirals Club to Gate 42B, where boarding had already begun.

Unfortunately, my upgrade had not cleared and I headed for my assigned 8A for the miserable 3 hours flight to DFW.  Note to self, 8A may be the bulkhead but there isn't much legroom.

Fortunately, my stay in 8A lasted only 5 minutes as another pax arrived saying that he had 8A.  LOL, that can only mean that my upgrade cleared after I had boarded.  Indeed, 3D was a no show and I got the last F seat.   Since 3D was occupied I took 8C.  Much better than 8A, but the A32B F seat is one of the least comfortable F seats.  God, what I wouldn't give for an old comfy Mad Dog seat.

Three miserable hours later, we arrived at the A terminal.

Off to SkyLink and the trip to the D terminal.

Where the Centurion Lounge had just opened for the morning.

At T-40, I headed over of D23 and the last leg of this week's saga.

Boarding in 1 minute turned into boarding in 20 minutes due an apparently minor mechanical issue.
