    We Start at COS

    An early flight — 7:40a departure — means an early wake up alarm. Luckily, we are early birds anyway.

    The 30-minute drive to COS was a cinch. The Avis rep met us as we were parking the rental, collected the key, and sent us on our way to the terminal.

    I had already completed the “travel ready” requirements in the UA app and checked us in for both flights, so we quickly dropped off our bags and went thru the TSA Pre✔️ line in a jiffy.

    The bonus for today … learning that the domestic first boarding passes for our UA flight give us access to the Priority Lounge.
