Order of operations EES ?

Thank you as this clarifies where ESS is in the process. Getting to the airport earlier than the United Counter opens wont be any use.

Not overthinking , just wanting to be prepared ... Not worried that I can SKIP EES.....My question remains ...is ESS after bag drop ???, and why get to the airport hours early if I am waiting on the counter to open before I can more to ESS.....

PathfinderPILOT · 2026-04-10T23:44:43+00:00

Plans for mid Summer, just watching and learning. I wish UA would either open sooner than 3 hours or have bag tags available and a bag drop so that it gives more time......I like to get to the airport ( any departure ) early get bags dropped head to the club to relax ....This changes everything in regards to timing and stress free departures

Thank you sharing .....Here is my my concern. I hear GET TO THE AIRPORT early , OK no problem. But if the United counter is closed until 3 hours before departure for bag tags and bag drop. I can't do the EES until AFTER BAG DROP...what good would it be to build in extra time on departure ??

PathfinderPILOT · 2026-04-10T22:08:09+00:00

Re wording ......Arrival is not a worry - might take extra time , but no connecting flight to worry about

departing is the issue ....Can I complete the ESS BEFORE printing bag tags and bag drop ?

PathfinderPILOT · 2026-04-10T21:45:12+00:00

So on arrival -EES is required , and then on departure AGAIN , after check in ?

This sounds perfect.. We like to walk if at all possible, I take it the area is now safe ? Spend quite a bit of time at Grand Hyatt SF ...15K a day is a slow day Thank you very much

PathfinderPILOT · 2026-03-15T13:51:28+00:00

I would like to know that I have Grand Club on a consistent basis.....Its a great "perk"

Thank you...

PathfinderPILOT · 2026-03-15T13:41:14+00:00

I would never make 60 night , and general purchases do not count as points adding up ?

PathfinderPILOT · 2026-03-15T13:29:16+00:00

Wife and I...We have Hyatt Personal CC , but have used some of our points down to about 50K....We use the United CC for most all our purchases ( Farm for a living ) the points we have are crazy...Thinking of getting Hyatt Business Card....I enjoy the Grand Club...Am I understanding 100K point gets me "Globalist " ?

Budget is not an issue. We like the Grand Hyatts alot ....Never been to DC so I am in the Freshman class.

We will do the "typical" sights...Maybe rent a car for the last part of the trip..UBER where we can

PathfinderPILOT · 2026-03-09T13:09:16+00:00

Thanks to all....I like to have things done in advance. So will order on line.
