The travel day for our Spring Break cruise quickly approached.  Our flight on United Airlines was leaving Dulles at 8:15 am, so our scheduled taxi picked us up at 6 am.  We arrived quickly at Dulles ready to check in for our flight (really just drop off the bags since we checked in online).  The ticket area was really busy, probably because of Spring Break travelers like ourselves.  We got our bags dropped off and headed for the TSA Pre Check line.  The line was slightly backed up, but we managed to clear it without anyone getting pulled aside for additional screening, which might be a first.  On the way to our gate, we stopped for a free breakfast using our Priority Pass from our Hilton Aspire Cards.  We ended up pushing up against our departure time, so we had to cut breakfast short so we could get to our gate before boarding.  We walked over to our gate (which was nearby) and boarding started ten minutes later. read more
