Feb Posted by Cecilie. So, as I have mentioned earlier, I was supposed to go back to Norway January 20, but due to bad weather and maintenance issues with the aircraft, my flying got delayed so I had to postpone my return flight to Norway.
Not at all. A definite no-no. So after being on the phone with United for 30 minutes, I hung up and called my lovely airline Scandinavian Airlines System SAS who could give me an award ticket, booked with my miles. I then said I only need the one-way, and he figured out I had enough points for a one-way in business. A smooth experience, and actually the first time I have redeeemed any of my frequent flyer points. I returned my rental car at Sixt, was expedited quickly and took the shuttle to the terminal.
I got through it with about 10 minutes of waiting, and took the train over to the concourse where my plane would depart in about 2 hours. Not a very big selection of snacks, but I guess it was late in the afternoon and not many flights departing. Plenty of seating areas, I had no trouble finding a place to relax before my flight. The bathrooms were very nicely decorated and furnished.
On board the plane I changed into sweat pants before the Lounge Dragons announced Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt was ready for boarding, and that a Lufthansa representative would meet us in the lounge and escort us to the gate.
We were then escorted over to the gate where boarding was about to start, but we were the first ones on board the Airbus registration D-AIHH bound for Frankfurt. They used 2L for boarding and after I entered the cabin I took an immidiate left and found my seat, 8D. She was very polite, and sort of apologetic. She hoped I had a good ground experience in MCO, which I confirmed, but my only complain would be no priority security.
