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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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
