Ready (I thought I was) Set (ditto) Go (Hopefully)

 Today was the last full day at home.  Tomorrow we set off for Taipei.  All is well.....

Not really.  I have several problems.  

1.   Baggage:  How many bags can I check in?  If I go to United it says one bag at 70 pounds.  But if I "talk" to the virtual Alex, she says I can check in two.

ANA says I can check in two at 50 pounds each.

Last year we travelled United and ANA and were allowed two.  But what if I get there with two bags and they only take one. 

My solution:  I will have two bags under 50 lbs, one will be able to go as a carry-on if I can't check it in, and all the goodies I am taking my daughter will have to go with my clothes.  This means that people in Taiwan will smell tamales and tequila on me and know where I am from. 

2.  Check In:  I was already pre-checked in on-line.  All my documents had been entered, and all was ready to go.

I even had a scan on my phone to use at the airport to make everything easier....

At least until I got the phone call from United about checking in on-line.  I had already gone to both All Nippon Air and United and filled out all the documents so I thought all I had to do was go and print my boarding pass from United. This is what I got:

OK, I can live with that.  Just get there early and wait in line. 

Then I notice the following at the bottom of the page:

"You have a connection to ANA All Nippon Airways (NH) at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). United flights arrive at Terminal 6. ANA flights depart from the Tom Bradley International Terminal.

Upon arrival follow the signs for the LAX Shuttle bus located outside the terminal on the arrivals level. Please board any A-route LAX Shuttle under the LAX Shuttle & Airline Connections blue sign.

Please check the video monitors for updated departure gate information."

 3.  Questions....

• Time?  We have a little less than two hours before connecting flight.  How far is one terminal from the other?
• Security?  Do we have to go out and in another security check?  
• Baggage?  Will we have to claim our baggage and re-check it in at the other terminal.

These problems have come up on other flights;  I just hope that I don't get more than one on this trip.
