American Eagle First Class LAX-Denver
At around 3PM, we headed back to LAX and pulled into the Avis lot at 4PM. We were at the Terminal 4 Gate bus gate 44 by 4:30P.
For the pathetic bus ride to the bus terminal.
We spend 40 minutes in the Bus terminal Admirals Club.
And finally to Gate 44H to board.
5:55P-9:00P

Dinner
Mercifully, those disgusting Mesa CR9s and their plastic cups have been eliminated from 2 of the 5 daily LAX-DEN flights. Brand new E75 tonight with an excellent LAX-based crew. Open bar PDBs and attentive service throughout the flight.
Although no nut service as we went from cocktails directly to dinner service.
For dinner, a choice of "rosemary chicken" or "BBQ beef, shrimp and chicken" Huh? Uncertain as to what to expect anymore, we decided to go with one of each. Chicken was a skimpy meal of uninspiring but nonetheless real chicken with tasteless couscous. But the romaine was fresh and crisp. Didn't test the scary looking hermetically sealed roll.
But the strangest one was the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink BBQ beef, shrimp and chicken. Jeez, was catering cleaning out the pantry today? Beef, shrimp, chicken, asparagus, tomatoes, lettuce, cole slaw and corn, side of beans, potato chips, caramel cheesecake and a blueberry breakfast cake. Cole slaw/corn mix and caramel cheesecake were quite good. The BBQ sauce masked a lot of sins but we still gave up on the rest after a few bites.
And the dessert daily double for Mrs. SFO.
On time arrival back in Denver and we were home just before 10PM. A great weekend visiting the kids and sampling airlines. Sorry AA, but you finished dead last this weekend, with United the winner this time.
