Departing From CUS

[E Runs]

Hello all, even though CUS is my "home" station we've yet to begin a LD trip there. The wife and I are in a sleeper on the CZ to GJT and have a few questions:

-can we check our luggage at the Met Lounge or do we have to wait in the cattle pen that is the ticket counter?

-do we have the option of boarding first? If not how early does boarding start? I'd rather avoid the ridiculous lines that form.

-I presume dinner will be the first meal offered in the diner?

Thanks in advance.

Day storage only in the met lounge. Check bags to the right of the ticket counter (no need to wait in ticket line).

Board sleepers from the met lounge, usually 30-40 minutes before departure.

Dinner is the first meal served out of Chicago on 5.

Pick up your tickets at the numerous QT machines around CUS, or I think you can now print the E-ticket at home. Then go to the RIGHT side of the ticket counters (by the wall) to check your bags. (Unless that changed, that was the only window to check your bags, and I rarely saw a one longer than 2 people.) Then go to the Metropolitan Lounge. They do early boarding from there.
