I have no UA points and no means to book said awards. Plus the discussion here was that the elite desk was booking them but not the other lines, which is what I'd get.

Thanks for the helpful post. :-:

And it is you're, not your.

Glad to hear that r/t awards - including the stopover - will be kept around! ^^

Thank you for asking.

At first glance, this really does seem to be a positive change all around now that we know R/T stopovers are still around.

I cannot believe UA MP is really being enhanced. ^

I've update the thread title to reflect the implementation of this new enhancement.

Safe travels, everyone!

Is this supposed to be bookable on .bomb or will have to be by call-in only? Any success story for booking directly on .bomb? Thanks.

As before it appears you need to call to get the full range of *A partners (at least at this time). Online award booking of the full range of *A partners (RT & OW) would be a great next enhancement.

Thanks for the update. Have not been at my desk all day and it is hard to check .bomb for reservation booking on my iPhone if it ever works at all! May be that is another needed enhancement.

UA, keep that StarNet Blocking vampire in its coffin and you'll have a real winner in this enhancement!

(So who got this one past Smisek?)
