Can't get it to work for President's Day weekend. United.com insists on making the Monday return WA14ON5 (even on an L9 flight), bumping the fare to $319.20.

mucho thanks pat just held a same day turn for feb 14th so i can go use a $200 voucher later today as even with being out of work, i can afford $39.20)

now, i just gotta remember if the new mileage u/g rules go into effect (or chance it w/ e-500's for the return)....iirc, it's until much later in the year right?

edited to add: n.b when i printed the "hold itin" page, nowhere on the page was the price-i had to go back into "my itins" and pull it up there to show the price-didn't want to get to sfo and be told that the price had changed.....

Only July. Feb 14, eh? I was planning on booking a mileage run that day which would include JFK-SFO-JFK, JFK-SFO in the evening and SFO-JFK on the redeye. Maybe we'll be on the same JFK-SFO flight?

Why to go SFO? You have plenty of time to use Ticket By Mail, unless you're looking for an outing on this lovely 43°F day.

Can't decide whether to jump on SFO-JFK or SFO-RDU. The RDU routing gives a few more miles, but if I clear on SFO-JFK, it's a bit more comfortable ride and no red-eye. Decisions, decisions.

Let me clarify that you meant B6 - JetBlue Airways. Thanks for your correction.

Thank you for the correction! Must be Bingo! stuck in my head.

I have 1/31 r/t on hold:
UA 6 7:25 am - 4:01 pm

Still thinking about it since it'll be 489.20 for me with O2.

46 minutes r/t, 4 tootsie-pops (busted at the counter ) and $2.00 for parking later, it's all ticketed with the outbound u/g w/l (cr1) and the return u/g pending (e-500's)

2/14
sfo-jfk ua 6: 7:31am-4:04pm
jfk-sfo ua 863 5:20pm-9:11pm

edited to add: the bomb struck again in telling me that i did not have any cr1's in my a/c where i had one but a quick call to web support took care of it (and it seems like web support is well aware of the problem as they didn't ask me for my mp a/c # or pw to log in and verify that i did in fact have the cr1 in my a/c as they could see it straight away)

I have a basic question. People tend to write this "AI" or "all in". This is a poker term. How does this apply to these MR deals?

Thanks.

"all in" generally refers to the net price after taxes 'n fees so in this case, the fare that Pat89339 quoted of $239.20 is "all in" as that's what you pay if booking thru ua's website. if you went thu another booking engine, you might pay a booking fee (ex $5.00 per segment) so your all in price if on an sfo-jfk-sfo non-stop would be $249.20.

as for me, i had a $200 voucher so my all in price was $39.20
