Rare BlerkOne Posted May 26, 2023 Author #26 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Club is filling up. I'm believing it will be a crazy travel day. Ever since Lufthansa left our luggage in Frankfurt, I've avoided changing planes outside of the US. And since Lufthansa doesn't allow luggage trackers, I'm avoiding them altogether. DFW-IAD-BCN and done! Hopefully. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 weeks or so... But I usually take about the same whether 3 days or 3 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted May 26, 2023 Author #29 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Good choice using my passes at the United club at DFW. The one by the gate at Dulles isn’t currently accepting any. Guess they are at capacity and need to save space for members. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get i Delta, and can drag my wife because of my status. We have never had tow ait, but seen lines. That is the readson Delta stopped offering one time passes. There are other options with othe lounges, the most notable is American Express and the new horse in the race is escape lounges (honoring non branded airline Amex (green card or above_. Yo even more confuse it, elite level of some airlines are honored in Europe for even regular cabin travel…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amex Lounges are great and not too overcrowded ( yet). IAD is crazy busy now and we are parked at the gate for now and not moving. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an anomaly but sounds like it's a regular occurrence😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were at a point where they were only letting people in as some came out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted May 27, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted May 27, 2023 After a couple of medical emergencies things seem to have calmed down. I would not want to be 38000 feet above the middle of the Atlantic and be in distress. Thankfully several doctors are on the plane who could assist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted May 27, 2023 Author #44 Share Posted May 27, 2023 We’re fine. Anxious to land and hurry up and wait in the immigration line. 🤪 maybe only about 3 hours to go? Our seats are probably the best in cattle class but not much sleep. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBella Posted May 27, 2023 #45 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Multi-pet household of dogs, cats and parakeets. When we cruise we HAVE to plan in advance. One day I would love to be able to go on those extremely cheap, last-minute cruises Carnival constantly offers to me. Have a wonderful time! P.S. I opened this thread just for the cat photos (smile)! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have arrive and waiting for our driver. We have many cats. More pictures to follow. We are fortunate to have people living on site to take care of everything when we are gone, but we try not to abuse them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are over our jet lag (slept like rocks after no sleep on the flight over) and have been out and about quite a bit already. Love your cat pics! We have 2 right now, a rescued 2 year old, Nyla, and the new kitten, Loki. We are very lucky our son can care for them when we are gone. We’ve had as many as 4 cats when we’ve lived in the country. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
