MX = gone maintenance or a maintenance delay.

The Newark--Delhi/Bombay--Newark flights are notorious for taking massive maintenance delays on the India end. Hence, the joke.

The reading light for the D column of seats on the pmUA 753 points more toward E's shoulder than my book.

Except that PMUA didn't operated 753s.

Which makes his complaint all the less substantive. Bravo, txflyer77.

When (re)entering my passport details I have to enter the expiration date as MM/DD/YYYY instead of the standard DD/MM/YYYY. Don't get me wrong, I use the former for most things, but since there is an ICAO standard they could attempt to follow it.

My complaint is people don't know the Standard is YYYY/MM/DD

oh, and people pulling luggage over the rumble strips on the UC in NRT resonate with the mobile hanging in the IFL upstairs which makes my teeth tingle.

AA credit card miles post much earlier in the month than UA ones. Even though Chase emailed me and told me my statement was available, no miles.

I saw my name on the confirmed upgrade list at T-30, but they won't let me pick an F seat!

True, it's because it's not actually me, just someone else with a similar name.

Interesting, mine never show up the same date. Somewhere between the 23rd and the 30th.
