Getting up while taxiing

Getting up while taxiing

WILD. I am at ORD. We land. Are still actively driving on the runway. And a whole group of people just get up and start walking towards the front.

Then a few others get up.

Everyone is like wtf, did they get special permission? Are they airport staff or marshals? No. They’re in sweats and shit.

FA finally gets on and tells them to sit down. They ignore. She says it again and threatens to have the plane stop. That’s when they get cussed out by everyone, myself included.

One pleaded “we have a tight connection” (meanwhile the plane is actively moving). Also — we landed 10min early, but I digress.

After being shamed, they sit back down. But then a mother and toddler get up again because the toddler “is about to wet his pants.” Oh well lady. Not only is it’s DANGEROUS to be walking your toddler on an active runway, the bathrooms are locked.

The world is coming undone.

Swiss lounge access as UA gold (??)

Hi friends-
It has been a couple of years since I’ve flown internationally with UA/Star Alliance gold status. Wifey and I are on Swiss to Zurich from the States tomorrow evening. Economy tickets. Will we have access to the Swiss lounge as we await our departure? TIA and safe travels
