All three fees will be $75 for general members, $50 for Silver Elite members, $25 for Gold Elite members and free for Platinum Elite members. And yes, OnePass travel reward changes outside of 21 days of travel will remain free of charge if there is no change to the origin or destination. These new fees will apply to rewards ticketed (or reissued) on or after Dec. 15.[/list][/indent]
I have not had a chance to read the 12 or so pages so far..but for me, this is a BIG
!!!
Currently-CO NEVER releases 4 BF seats-usually have to wait/sweat it out! Now I pay 4X$0, but next year it will be 3X$75, 1X$0. That is huge to me.
I am (WAS) a Y/F/A/B pax...and have moved 55% of my spend to UA-guess this (coupled with the 1.5 EQP's (what does Q400 service EWR-PIT get me???????????)) will just get me to move the remaining 45% to UA.
