After an extended stay at the United Club, it’s now time to board the plane for Washington.
As a reminder, here is the itinerary followed:
Boarding
While I was in the lounge, I received a United notification telling me that my flight to Washington Dulles had been delayed by twenty minutes due to the late arrival of the aircraft from Newark.
So I left the lounge a few minutes before my flight’s rescheduled departure
I waited more than 20 minutes at the gate before boarding began, with strict respect for priorities… But in a very complicated sequence with 5 priorities before zone 1.
Cabin and welcome
The 737 MAX 9’s cabin is very comfortable, with a fairly recent cabin and comfortable recliners.
The welcome at the door was warm and charming.
A welcome drinks tray was passed among the First passengers and I had a glass of champagne.
The flight left almost 45 minutes behind schedule.
Service and catering
Service started about fifteen minutes after takeoff. I had a Jack Daniels on the rocks, which is promptly brought to me.
A snack basket was brought in, and I had a chocolate sablé.
I got a generous Jack Daniels top-up.
Arrival and disembarkation
We arrived at gate D26 at Washington-Dulles just over 30 minutes behind schedule. It was going to be a tight connection.
Bottom line
A solid flight, but an unacceptable delay at a time when weather conditions had returned to normal.
