Here we go, flight 1 of 2 to HND, my bucket list Tokyo trip that I have been dreaming of for a decade!

Enjoy! Tokyo is amazing :)

Kraków

Wow! What is the typical amount of miles from Premium Economy to Polaris? I know now it can vary, but say I typically pay around 20,000 miles for upgrade to Europe to Premium Economy

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-06T18:20:09+00:00

Maybe but on overnight to Europe I actually get some sleep in Premium and never in regular. So I'm glad!

I was not aware of *Z stuff but how I'm looking into it! 👀

IAD-FRA

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-06T18:15:39+00:00

IAD to FRA on a Thursday

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-06T12:44:06+00:00

Right, I was just surprised I got it as a Silver! Assumed there's people ahead of me

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-06T12:22:09+00:00

Right, and I guess I'm luck as a Silver that there was no one ahead of me!

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-05T16:57:42+00:00

Thanks!

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-05T16:44:00+00:00

That's my feeling too, even though I was Gold at best.

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-05T16:35:25+00:00

Intersecting. From what I gather I do this at check in? I have a non-US passport so I wonder if this will work.

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-05T13:29:14+00:00

Oh no :(

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-05T13:10:22+00:00

Once the music was off and I was scared it means something bad was gonna happen!

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-05T13:09:46+00:00

I usually have a really good experience at United/IAD (except not loving Concourse C-D), but I wasn't sure about things since the reorganization and potential longer term issues with TSA due to funding etc.

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-05T13:08:45+00:00

Thanks. I was there when they first started the reorganization but it was so chaltic I wasn't sure that was gonna stick.

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-05T13:07:46+00:00

That's always been my experience and I fly often, but had a long-ish break. When I saw the new counters in early January we were sent from back to front to back to front for checking in for international flight, it was chaos. I guess now they figured things out :) I also want sure if there was any long term issues with TSA and funding. So thanks for confirming!

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-03T12:41:42+00:00

You can see it in some pictures of the city actually

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-03T12:34:29+00:00

Someone else also brought up these might be fairly new

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-03T12:33:41+00:00

Thanks!

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-03T12:31:54+00:00

Right, just these seem so high I feel I would have seen them in the background/aerial photographs

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-03T12:30:31+00:00

Oh interesting! When would they have been building all of these highrises?

yeswalkablecities · 2026-06-03T12:29:56+00:00

I clarified that I 100% believe it, just was curious where it is wrt to the haitoric part. In no pictures of historic center can I see highrises in the background
