United Premier 1K Packet

United's Premier 1K packet arrived in the mail.  It contained the 1K phone number, baggage tags, advertisements for a credit card and a car, along with ten drink vouchers.

The drink vouchers are unwanted.  A premium that would be well-received could be a couple transferable United Club vouchers or a couple vouchers for in-flight food boxes.

The mailing is uninspiring.  If United provided an option to opt-out of receiving this packet, I would opt-out.

United's New SFO Terminal

United's new terminal in San Francisco airport is interesting.  It sports a hidden-away yoga room, hidden shoe shine stand, and a few trendy shops.  The dual-monitor system above gates are less helpful than they could be.  The new construction materials are still noticeably off-gassing.  Plenty of counter space with outlets is a nice modern upgrade.  Hopefully the outlets will be able to withstand frequent use, without loosening up and consequently not holding the charging terminals securely.

Leaving San Francisco:

Lunch of shrimp salad, soup, and a packet of good butter:
