May 2012 travel/spend to date:
UA: $700 (that ticket was my UA final trip (unless things change))
AA: $5500 (including ORD-LHR $2,500)
No more UA flying and couldn't be happier with things over on the dAArk side.

ORD/LAX
ground
LAS/ORD
Decided to cash in some AA points rather than buy paid on UA. UA has always, until recently, been my carrier of choice.

Although I have not spent anything on another airline, I have not flown recently and have no current plans on UA… BECAUSE the pmco website is so unfriendly that I really do not even want to research/fantasize about trips I would like to take.

Today I had to buy new tickets to replace the ones for $132,000 I refunded to UA. I PAID $114,000.00 to British airways replacing all refunded tkts using exact same departure cities and dates (saved almost $18,000 AND put ALL employees in F on the way home (instead of having individual employees upgrade there own C tickets on UA "if" they had there own instruments and "if" there would be "O" class available

$1100 for RTs SFO - NYC on AA in July.
UA would have cost more. So not only do I get to give my new PLT status a try, I save $ over what I would have spent on UA

$750 for DL F msp-sea rt. If i would have flown United it would have been $900 more expensive even after a voucher I have. Also about $1000 for 4 people msp-ord rt also on delta. Believe it or not, Delta747 does sometimes fly other airlines besides delta! Not this time though.
