Beginning of Trip

We got to the Dulles Airport at 2 pm (about 3.5 hours early).  Because we have Premium Economy (United calls it Premium Access), there was a separate start for check-in.  No lines or waiting.  We didn't have TSAPre because of Global Entry excited, but the Security from no time to get through and we were at our gate in no time.  Check-in the day before had been a nightmare.  Beyond the normal check-in take(names contact info and number of checked bags), We has to submit PDF files of our Vaccination cards; use the United App to scan our passports and attach a copy of Greece's Personal Locator form.  Then we had to wait for about an hour before or information was approved and we were sent boarding passes.  A little before boarding started we had to go to the deal and have them review the same documents we had sent United the night before.

After that boarding was easy.  The food was good (dessert was sea salt caramel gelato) and I had a glad of white wine (a Chenin Chardonnay).  I watched "Singing in the Rain" and John watched "Guardians of the Galaxy".  I didn't sleep on the flight, but I took two walks up and down the aisle.  The flight was uneventful.Leer más
