United Trip Report | CDG–IAD | Last Star Alliance Gold Flight | July 2024

Описание: This trip report highlights my final flight with Star Alliance Gold status on United Airlines, flying from Paris to Washington Dulles aboard a Boeing 777-200ER in economy. During the chaotic July 2024 CrowdStrike IT outage, having Star Alliance Gold made a huge difference — I was able to access priority security, enjoy the Star Alliance Lounge, and even reroute all the way to Los Angeles instead of getting stuck in San Francisco.

Star Alliance Gold benefits featured in this trip report:

Priority check-in and security lanes at CDG Terminal 1
Access to the Star Alliance Lounge with breakfast and espresso
Flexibility during airline disruptions, including rebooking and rerouting
Peace of mind and smoother boarding in economy during a full flight

Onboard, the Boeing 777-200ER offered a comfortable economy cabin. The crew remained calm and professional despite the unusual circumstances, and we arrived at Washington Dulles on time. This trip also captures how elite status can significantly improve the travel experience, especially during global airline disruptions.
