Well what started out to be a simple mileage run from London to Denver on UNITED, turned out to be a bit more exciting. I booked the following flights:
LHR-ORD-DEN
with a return
DEN-EWR-LHR

Self-boarding is being tested select Continental gates at IAH. Lufthansa has already offered self-boarding for years, as do 13 other airlines worldwide, but Continental is the first U.S. carrier to offer automated boarding.
