UAL 915. No upgrade. 8D, aisle seat on an A320. Not a disaster… Although it is the 2nd time I’ve done that flight in 8 days.

Light chop for much of the way after Denver, some mountain wave was coming off the Rockies as well.

Flying the Modesto 3 STAR, we entered a hold at CEDES along with a whole bunch of other aircraft, since SFO couldn’t do parallel ops on the 28s. Ch9 was up, and I was dismayed to hear that we could be out here for 30mins (I’m drafting this while we’re in the hold). We got a clearance pretty shortly after that, probably only 8 mins in the hold all up; a jink to the south-west, thence MEHTA and final approach up the Bay.

On final we were requested to go as slow as possible, which our pilots reported as 140 KTS. Landed on 28R.

Flightaware track, zoomed in on the hold and approach.
