I just recently returned from my Memorial Day travel and have to say that that was one of the better traveling experiences I have had … not because of where I went, but because there weren’t that many people traveling … at least through Cincinnati and Washington Dulles and Raleigh.
So what am I complaining about this time? I decided to arrive at the airport early since I live about 80 miles from Cincinnati’s airport and I thought that I would go to one of the airport lounges and work … there are just so many distractions at home. I had already checked-in and thought that I would just head off to the club, which is in a different terminal with a different security. In other words, there’s no way to get from one terminal to another once going through security. So, I asked the United check-in personnel [mistake number one] if I could enter any terminal with my ticket. I told her I wanted to go the Delta club … she said empathically, no, absolutely not, can’t be done, don’t even try. Okay!
Despite her confidence in answering my question. I was not confident, probably not satisfied, with her answer, so I asked a TSA agent. He said, you can absolutely go to any terminal you like as long as you have a valid ticket for the airport. So, off I go, trouble free. TSA, did ask me, hey, you know you are at the wrong terminal, and I replied, yes, I just want to visit the Delta club, and the agent said okay. FYI, the Delta club in Concourse A is closed on Saturdays, fortunately the club in Concourse B is open. I had the club practically to myself!
Last word, always get a second opinion.
