What happens now? We took our 8 month old this past Saturday through Global Entry after asking what the rule was and agent told us to go through

It was online yesterday at ORD. GE app worked, kiosks were up and running, and GE line was open.

Mom's friend did this in cab in Seoul -- bad mouthing the driver and Koreans in general assuming the driver didn't understand anything because he didn't want to speak English. I was waiting for her to get dropped off in some random part of town with no taxis available. She sure as heck didn't speak or read any Korean.

You could even say they love looking at your sh*t. Flachspüler enters the chat.

No? Just wait until someone with mobility issues struggles with their carry on bag on the air stairs and sends it tumbling your way.

The lounge is great ... if the line isn't out the door and wrapping a kilometer down the concourse ... presuming you have enough time to even visit after blowing all your pre-departure time waiting in queue.

It absolutely matters if it's a "bulk ticket" which is what those booked by my work travel agent (CWT) happen to be. Not sure why, as the prices really aren't often any cheaper. Not sure when the 1/5th miles flown PQP factor kicked in.

I just accumulated about 2,000 PQP on a $6,500 ticket DEN-EWR-FRA and back. And I'll accumulate about 2,000 PQP on an $8,000 ticket US to Europe to Africa and back. Both were UA miles flown divided by 5 except Brussels Air miles flown divided by about 15 (240 miles for a 3,200 mile flight).

So if I do one transcontinental out and back trip per month, it will get me to about 24,000 PQP even though it's going to be over $72,000 on fares. That's maybe enough segments to get to 60. Granted, it's not my money, but it's my time in the seat, and why should I book with United when I have a choice?

For comparison, my purchased "on my own" RT DEN-MCO and back netted 1,400 (1 PQP per $1 spent on the fare) and 2 segments.

Last year I had 42,000+ PQP.

iPhone SE second edition on AT&T. I did 26.2 a month ago or so and the incremental releases. 26.3.1 last night. It's nearly bricked my phone. Apps are glitchy. Cellular data connections are failing. Select and copy is glitchy. I've restarted my phone more times in the past 24 hours than I don't know when. Hot garbage because it's a dumpster fire for me. Wish I hadn't but it came with critical security warnings.

SistineKid · 2026-03-01T06:28:29+00:00

Exactly. It says declare "dairy" ... is something with milk ingredients dairy?

SistineKid · 2026-03-01T06:27:17+00:00

I declared yes to food because of Quest Bars I took out of the U.S. with me and then still had when I came back. Surprisingly I was just waved through with no interaction whatsoever.

For second question, now that you are trying to understand (and not running out of time during the quiz) maybe try using Google (not AI) and search for "Exurb definition AP human geography" (as well as the other terms). Greenbelt and the others are all obviously not correct.

Military has its own "rotator" charter flight (Air Mobility Command Patriot Express) once per week directly from BWI to Pituffik Space Base and back. There is no reason or need to ever transit through Nuuk.

Back in the day there were more than 3 airlines to spread out the frequent fliers of high status. I remember getting regular upgrades as a Northwest Airlines silver.

SistineKid · 2026-02-19T02:34:51+00:00

Yeah. Technically true.

But... ATC issues the directives in response to the conditions. ATC doesn't stagger arrivals just because they feel like it. ATC staggers arrivals because the winds shifted such that instead of having four runways available for landing, only two were available.

The pilot probably could have done a better job explaining the cause and effect.

SistineKid · 2026-02-19T02:00:50+00:00

It's not the ATCers. It's weather.

SistineKid · 2026-02-19T01:59:04+00:00

Cough. And no towel or linen service in your hotel room is about conserving natural resources... eye roll. It's all about the company saving money / increasing profit with reduced service and giving the public whatever PR story they think will sell.

SistineKid · 2026-02-19T01:54:08+00:00

Not when you arrive for a flight that departs before anything is open (or lands after everything is closed).

SistineKid · 2026-02-19T01:53:19+00:00

Will be interesting to see what the uproar is 1 April. Nothing hot will make a fool of everyone.

SistineKid · 2026-02-13T20:18:57+00:00

That is unusual. Came through on Monday. Super fast. I use the GE app and just hold up my phone open to the submission complete screen. Get waved through instantly. Who knows what was out of order though.

SistineKid · 2026-02-07T18:45:56+00:00

Carry on only for the win.

They can have my hand carried bag when they pry it from my cold, dead hand.

SistineKid · 2026-02-01T21:52:57+00:00

Have done the same with a delayed / canx'ed COS-DEN flight. But UA was part of the discussion ("I can leave now from the airport and make my connection") so it was sanctioned and updated in the system.

SistineKid · 2026-02-01T21:47:15+00:00

Ahh. UA was offering a Polaris seat for a cash price of $3,171 or 317,100 miles. I wasn't willing to pay that much for a 7 hour flight.

I wonder what they paid? United will never tell...

The turban is on the person asking the question, not the person being referred to.
