I arrived in San Francisco this morning.
There was a bit of a line at Global Entry, but it didn’t take too long. It also didn’t take long for my bag to show up. I grabbed it and had it rechecked to Houston on the earlier flight so I wouldn’t need to wait until 1 AM to get it.
The CLEAR security line was slower than the normal security line. Adding insult to injury the arrows appeared to show the TSA Precheck to be the line I was waiting in, but I was told to go wait in the other line, so I had yet another 15 minute wait to get to security.
My next stop was the “Grab and Go” American Express lounge (still closed for remodeling since September) and I got a turkey sandwich.
My flight to Houston was delayed – no surprise here, it is United Airlines after all.
I was able to get an exit row seat, but it was a middle seat. I still had plenty of leg room, but still felt squished width wise. The meal of the day was a small package of pretzels.
The flight landed almost on time, but then we were parked not at the gate, so we had to wait several minutes to get to the gate which only made the flight delayed even more.
I let people out that had connections as I assumed I would need to wait for my bag anyways.
As I was walking towards baggage claim I checked my Samsung app to see where my bag was and it said it was in Houston for two hours already. I checked the United app and it said it arrived on an earlier flight.
After I picked up my bag from the luggage office I waited for the parking shuttle to take me to my car.
