I received the postcard in the mail last week that stated that you can earn an upgrade system wide by flying int'l with UA between the end of Feb and beginning of April.

I am heading to Sydney (and writing this in the LAX AA Biz Class Lounge) so I almost booked with UA. But upon reading the small print, no Saturday layovers are allowed.

Now how stupid is that for an Int'l promotion? Not only did UA lost my $8,200 for this flight, this was the straw that broke the camel's back for me, I've given up on the village idiots.

Wondering if anyone else had the same reaction as I.
