Today will be my first time at the SFO CH.

I was wondering if anyone's ever requested a sleepsuit at the SFO CH to change into before going airside?

With the CH being landside, how well do the security lines flow?

Cheers, Howard

Not sure about sleep suits. I know you can pick one up in the IAD Clubhouse so I'm guessing you can in the SFO one too.

SFO security is not usually too bad. I've never had to wait more than 5 mins to get though.

Never asked for one in there, but I'd be surprised if they have them. It's a 10 hour flight home - what's the problem with just changing on the plane? [?]

The security lines won't be an issue by the time you're called through from the CH.

Oh, I was hoping to take a shower in the CH, and then get into a sleepsuit. Saves me carrying another change of clothes. I believe you have to check in before you can get into the CH, so I would only have carry on with me.

On the subject of check in, I had a quick search but I couldn't see when check in opens at SFO. I am due to be there about 12:30 if my current plans work (they rarely do!).

Cheerio, Howard

Sounds like a nice idea, but I'd be a bit self-conscious walking through the terminal in a sleep-suit[:I]

Well they have them sometimes at IAD. No one really changes preflight, well I do but I am a geek!

At IAD the flight is always from the same gate opposite the CH, so just a very short canter across the concourse is needed. Presumably other airports cannot be as definite about gate number.

Hmm. VS tend to use A6/A8 90+% of the time at SFO.

Yes taking a shower and slipping on a sleepsuit at the IAD CH is pretty useful, but that CH is right by the gate as you know.

Well there aren't any sleepsuits in the CH. I am worried - I have been in here for fifteen minutes and have yet to hit the poo. I am on my second diet coke. What is happening to me? Richard?

I'm worried for you too Howard! :) I think you had better hit the bar pretty quickly :D

Thanks,
