United 777 Polaris to Denver

And back to Denver...

With Global Entry, we were thru and out of CBP customs and immigration in just a few minutes.   And unlike my last visit to Terminal 5, there was no line of pax and a bus was waiting.    A few minutes later we were at Terminal 1.

There was no one in the PreCheck line. But despite prominently displaying TSA PRE-CHECK, our LH-generated boarding passes were useless as the PreCheck scanner did not recognize LH PreCheck. Sheesh, 5 years later and LH still hasn't solved this problem. We were OK to pass once we pulled up our UA electronic boarding passes on the UA app.

Since DFW-CK slept thru the 2nd meal, we stopped at the best resto at ORD.

After lunch, we bid adieu until our Swiss return later in the year.   DFW-CK headed to his DFW gate and I went to C20.

I lucked out today with a convenient connecting wide-body to Denver.

OK, this will work nicely for a 2 hour flight. 

No PDB but once in the air, excellent service.  And a choice of real meals.

The chicken with orzo was excellent.

As was the chocolate chip cookie.

We arrive DEN 30 minutes ahead and I was home in Cherry Creek just after my scheduled arrival time.   What a crazy fun 48 hours.   Thanks so much for following along.
