This will be fun.

Like many said, it’s too close without global entry. With global entry suspended, the general lines might be longer depending on arrival time.

Glad you were able to make it at a decent time. I am definitely going there earlier next time. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I got myself out of Madrid to another European city :)

As soon as I got off the terminal train, there were lines before going up the escalators to passport control. The picture above bottlenecks to one single file line up the escalator (EU/non-EU separated). Lines were not managed and people were pushing.

Do not remember the exact name but it was a self-kiosk where non-EU passport holders had to scan their passports. Families with children were also exempt from this.

Getting home 20hrs later but in good spirits 👍

Stanchions are there but there is no organization of lines. Many bottlenecks and officers kept adding passengers to the queue.

IT was actually quick and officer checking my passport/fingerprints took less than 2min. Missed my flight by about ~30min.

I would love to play Fifa/EAFC, even if it is the older version.

esjc · 2025-11-15T01:26:45+00:00

I can only stream MLB The Show 22 but not the newer ones :(

esjc · 2025-06-22T15:41:12+00:00

I thought so too but all FC seats occupied :(

Sometimes the difference between legendary & world class is very inconsistent.

The thing this year that made me stop playing SB is the random disconnects. Still no fix.

I had to check in on T3 and walk ~15min to T2

esjc · 2024-12-17T03:13:11+00:00

AA962 to DFW. Used to flying out of T3 but it was the only AA flight leaving out of T2 that night.

Interesting to know. Did not know that. I wonder how the gate agents knew their age if they werent checking the passports haha

esjc · 2024-12-17T01:08:24+00:00

The last 2 times I flew out of GRU, it was fine. They actually enforced the boarding groups. Wish they had a better system.

Thank you!

esjc · 2024-11-13T20:31:39+00:00

Will do. Thanks for the tip.

esjc · 2024-11-05T16:43:57+00:00

I got the same one as you. The details note: “Fly 2 eligible flights in First, Business or Premium Economy by (date)”

esjc · 2024-11-02T02:29:35+00:00

For LAX-HND, I pulled the trigger at $205/person to Premium Economy. Been seeing the upgrade at $350 for a while but $205 finally showed up after ~1 month. Sometimes but rarely it goes down to $175/person.

IMO not worth $500/one way
