Off to DFW

American Airlines debuts its new 787 Dreamliner tomorrow and I was fortunate to book a First Class on the inaugural DFW-ORD flight.  This is my 2nd AA inaugural flight as I was on last year's inaugural JFK-LAX A321 flight.  But first to get to DFW to position for tomorrow's 7:10A departure.  With ridiculous one way DEN-DFW prices, I used Avios on the convenient 5:45P DEN departure.  Good thing I left home early as both Long Term, Short Term and Valet lots were showing FULL.  Yikes.  After a loop around the terminal, and seeing some empty spaces in the Long Term lot, I decided to enter the supposedly FULL Long term lot.   Found lots of spaces and got my exercise today walking a mile to the terminal.  PreCheck worked great with only a few other passengers.   After 30 minutes in the Admirals Club, off to Gate 49 for the short flight to DFW.

We arrived at C32 and I took the covenient SkyTrain to Terminal D and my home for the night, the Grand Hyatt.  Terminal D is also home to the American Express Centurion Lounge... and free food and drink. ;)   I'm thinking that I am getting money's worth for my annual $450 Platinum card fee.  

Delicious chicken enchilada casserole with short rib tacos. 

From the Centurion Lounge, it was a short 5 minute walk to the Grand Hyatt, just outside security.   My comfortable and spacious room for tonight.

How cool to get room 747!
