Anyone have a Terminal D cheat code?

I'll be flying Lufthansa back and forth to Europe about eight times this year. I've been checking my bag in at D, then getting burned with no pre-check agent at security. I'm experiencing the mild inconvenience of having to take my laptop out of my bag; however, I'd rather not have the hassle.

On a different note, Lufthansa has the worst business class seat arrangement I've ever experienced. Shared lay flat seat rows, where if you're against the bulkhead, you're stepping over your row mate to exit into the aisle. F'in dumb.


The lay flat seats came in handy when we had to put the "expired" passenger back in his seat after me and another two nurses did CPR on him for an hour and a half.

But that's a story for another day.

Little bit of confusion at the airport tonight. Picking up someone who was supposed to land at A but wound up landing at B. Change happened right at the last minute. B is closed, so idk what to do. Pulled up at A and asked the guys directing traffic. They didn't know what to tell me, either, until they went inside and asked someone else.

They said if you land at B, you can go for pick up at A or C. I told my BF to come to A, and they are going to let me sit here (at least for now - may have to make the loop if he doesn't deplane soon).

So, check flight aware if you are picking someone up and coordinate where to meet if they land at B.

Also got a parking coupon code. Use JAN20 for an extra 20% off this month. Good at IAH and HOU.

You have to book your parking by midnight tonight to get the 20% off.

Oh, man...sorry about that! I thought it was good for the whole month. I should have posted it when I first got the email a couple of weeks ago. I just kept forgetting.

Yeah wife and I flew Lufthansa business class overseas a couple years ago there and United back. Difference was night and day.

Currently inbound on QR713 to Terminal D, what is the latest on getting an Uber? Stay at D or go somewhere else?
Topaz

Your gate will be at D but pickup will be E international arrivals.

I'd probably recommend going to C to get an uber. If you have bags you'll be at E and can still take the subway. If you don't, go to C in the terminal.
Topaz
How long do you want to ignore this user?
No matter if he has bags he will end up outside of security because he will have to go through customs. The subway train is the only way to get to C after customs.

I don't really see the point of going to C anyway. The E international arrivals area is new and expanded.

Even if there is, just walk (fight?) your way past the line and go towards the very end and ask for a taxi. You'll have one almost immediately.

Been a while since I have flown international. The ****ty side walk situation is gone. Just went to E/D arrivals ride share pickup area, seamless.

Won't matter if they offer the stupid free trial that clogs up the lines anyways. This is going to suck.

On r/tsa they were saying right now they are just shutting down new applications not the lines themselves

Both. United is arriving and departing from some of the gates, however ticketing/check-in/TSA is closed.

At Hobby right now. They are saying to arrive 3 hours early. I would make it 4. It is indescribable how bad the lines for check in, baggage drop, amd security are.
Aggie09Derek
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I would arrive 4+ minimum today


We were there this morning and ended up calling it, cancelling vacation, and heading back home.

Edit: no notice was sent to us ahead if time from airline about it being that bad.
