Right, but as a frequent traveler as you’d presume posters in the frequent travel thread would be, I would guess that they’d be able to navigate a seemingly innocuous thing like finding a precheck line

Also my COO'S had just expired but I was still butt hurt about unpacking thank you for listening to me vent you spergs

For future reference, just get to DFW early enough to check in a D and head straight to the lounge there. Train is right across from the entrance to actually go to wherever your gate is. That precheck is almost always open and that is the best Admirals club at DFW.

I flew out of dfw on Saturday and terminal D had two security lines. One regular and one for all travelers but it was precheck - meaning anyone could get in that line and go through the precheck experience. It had a long line, was full of confused people, had a security dog and was overall an absolutely terrifying (from the perspective of losing precheck as it exists today, I wasn't scared of the dog) experience. Don't know if this is a dfw experiment, just terminal d or if it's going to be rolled out in other places but it's a terrible terrible idea.

During non peak times at LAX Tom Bradley will have a dog patrolling the line and because of that you do not have to remove liquids or shoes or laptops or 2 of these 3. So it was kinda like precheck.

Not unless she is also precheck. Kids under 13 are ok though: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/i-am-traveling-my-family-can-they-also-use-tsa-precheck-lane The @asktsa instagram/twitter is a fun follow

I enjoy it very much when a train lols me into the airport and I do a 540 millimeter wave scan grind on my rolly suitcase up the escalator right thru security into my tiny coach seat for 9 hours of dehydration therapy. I do like it when trains take me directly to the airport...

I was so happy getting the exit row upgrade for free when I was chit chatting and being friendly with the gate agent. Turns out I’m surrounded by families and crying babies. Fine fine. Then the guy next to me is a Middle Aged dude who smells kind of funky like light cheddar. Then he takes off his shoes and triple blanket wraps him self up. He’s starting to sweat more and the flight hasn’t taken off. seat karma I swear

DJCobol posted:Rechecking a bag after an international flight before a domestic connection is easy poo poo. Just grab from the carousel, and toss it right back to the counter agent 50 feet away at DTW. The only thing I hate about international to domestic connections is that none of the airports I've been to (DTW, ATL, JFK, MSP) have a precheck line. You have to exit out of the airport pretty much, and go back in through the normal security lines. DTW has lines that are just metal detectors though, and they let you self select which line to go in to. So, better than nothing.

Only during the transition period while people get used to it. There's no actual reason for 100% of people not be able to leave liquids and laptops in their bags, leave their shoes on, and just walk through a metal detector. I'd love if pre-check type security was the standard rather than the exception.

I'm not clear on what the actual rules are. The rules usually are everyone on the same reservation as someone with a known traveler number get the precheck mark, but they're also flagged to have their hands swabbed for bomb juice. But asking the TSA and airlines to consistently and evenly apply the rules...

One more trip and I'm hitting gold on Delta and.... just got word that my project is coming to a close at the end of the month. And my new project is just ten blocks down the street from my apartment and will likely be all next year. Feeling like a real dummy for booking those extra few legs this month

O'Hare more like No'Hare as they took so long to rummage through international luggage for stowaway terrists that I missed my lovely bus back home and had to wait...WAIT for another one that wasn't even express. Fuuuuck...

I already made it on miles but I'll clear Exec Plat on segments after my next trip. I'm at 116, I have two more on my way back and my trip next week is direct for both legs. That gets me to 120.

Ya'll fuckin up, 125,237 MQM on 21 segments. Health issue kept me from volunteering for any travel since August but I had one last event that pushed me into Diamond last week and some surgery to fix me up just in time to use those sweet sweet GUCs. I'll never be Diamond again though with the Delta Amex exemption going from $25K to $250K of spend.

I snagged a few cheap first class upgrades that got me 150% MQMs and with some rollover, and CC MQMs I was probably closer to 4500-5000 a segment actually in a seat.
