Off to Egypt

Off to Egypt

Saturday morning and my MSP dentist buddy (Flyertalker batmandds) and I are off today for a quick Flying Blue Platinum mileage run trip to Egypt.  Egypt requires a 96 hour prior to arrival PCR test which I took on Thursday.  As a precaution, I stopped at my nearby AFC Urgent Care Center for an antigen test just in case we needed it to return to the US early.  

With a negative test in hand, I bid adieu to Mrs. SFO777 and Uber'd to DIA.  Saturday morning is the time to depart DEN as the north PreCheck line was completely empty.

I had time to stop into the Delta Sky Club.

Not gourmet by any means, but Delta has better lounge "food" offerings then United or American.

At T-45, I head down to the concourse and Gate A28.

Delta is much better than American or United when it comes to boarding, as Delta First Class passengers are actually boarded in the first group, although after handicapped and families with small kids.

Beautiful Colorado scenery on the climb and route to LAX.

United serves a hot meal on this route but I wanted a longer connect cushion so I'm stuck with Delta's health lunch.  My G&T was poured in the galley in lovely DL crystal glassware. 

Descending into LAX on a very smoggy day.

AQI of 154.  Yeah, that looks about right.

With T-3 still under construction, we parked at nearby bus gate, where it is was a short bus ride to T-2.
