LAS The Centurion Lounge

LAS The Centurion Lounge

Most Recent Posts

November 2015

With an 11:30A flight, we spent a leisurely morning in our suite with excellent in room dining service.

From the Encore, it was a short 10 minute $20 taxi ride to LAS and what appears to be a new terminal, at least for me.

Train to the D gates.

With 30 minutes before boarding, we headed to the crowded Centurion Lounge and managed to find two seats together.

 

At around T-45, we headed for the gate and arrived just as they were boarding Group 1.

Refreshments

Excellent SFO-based crew provided attentive service including open bar PDB prior to push.
 

And the Wynn and Encore.

Another beautiful flying day with great scenery.

At just over 600 miles, no meal service but a pass of the snack basket.

And beginning our descent to Denver.

Centennial Airport from where we departed two days ago.

Thirty minutes after pick-up, our driver dropped us at Signature APA to retrieve our car.  
On the drive down E-470, we decided to see Spectre on our way home.

What was supposed to be leisurely day turned upside down when I woke up to a text and email from Delta advising that my 1:00P flight was now scheduled to depart at 1:30P and that I may miss my connection.  From experience, airlines almost always lie about and underestimate delays.  So with an already tight 45 minute SLC connection now down to an advertised 15 minutes, that was way too risky.  My options were 11:45A (Y only) or 8:53A.  While I hesitated, the 11:45A disappeared so I selected the 8:53A.  A quick shower and I was on the road again to DIA.  With construction completed on I-225, it was an easy 35 minute drive this morning.

Another typically great DL crew this morning with a open bar PDB, #12 of 12 DL flights. Multiple passes of the breakfast snack basket.

So that's how they turn on Wifi. 

On time arrival in SLC and I stopped into the Sky Club for 30 minutes.  Fortunately, the DL gate agent in Denver switched me to an earlier SLC-LAS flight so I didn't have a 5 hour layover in this depressing club.

Apparently I've flown too many DL flights in the last week as I can't remember a thing about his one.  
A 5 minute walk from the DL gates is the new Centurion Lounge.  A great place to spend a few hours in between flights.

Time to check out the bar and food area.

Very nice.

 

My excellent lunch.

Time for a little work.

And my next meal before boarding my "refreshments" only DL flights home.

Open bar PDB #15 makes it a perfect 100%.  And another excellent DL crew despite the antique dark A320.  No cabin divider and the old table trays attached to the seat in front.

On time arrival back in Denver and I was home by 10:30.  

And three days later, it was official.  I now have the right to be completely stupid and pay 162,500 miles for a one way TTL Air France First Class ticket. LOL.
