Just read your channel schedule for the next week. Reverse landing operations at LAX will be worth the price of admission and doing it on a Delta A359 will make it even better. Can't wait for this one. Great view of DFW on departure and the Kansas Speedway on descent....beautiful race track.
It was pretty cool. I didn't realize LAX was in a reverse flow when we left LAX. We're descending through the clouds and I kept thinking... Man we've been in clouds for a long time, we should have broken out by now. Only to then break out over the water instead of over the urban sprawl. The weather sure wasn't great for LA standards, but I guess that's what you have to deal with during reserve ops haha. It was fun for sure!
Yes, I upgraded from PreCheck only to Global Entry earlier this year as my PreCheck was expiring. So I've now used it multiple times and I'll use it again in two days when I come back into the US again.
The simple answer is that I don't. I don't fly every day. In fact, I usually only fly around 8 days per month. And some months I fly a little extra so I don't have to fly at all the next month. What I do though, is fly multiple flights every day that I do fly. I often fly 3 or 4 segments each day I'm flying. So... 3-4 flights a day, 8 days a month, that's 24 flights even on the low side.
