im currently CO silver. on my next US flight, will i get priority check-in, security, boarding and baggage, or do i have to be *G? will they make me pay to check my bag?
It's my understanding at this time that product-wise, the benefits we receive when flying UA or US are limited to the standard set of *A benefits published by that alliance.
If we receive a different set of benefits later on, it remains to be seen - but as a group we should be careful what we wish for.
The relationship with NW was different than the one with Delta - but IIRC, our benefits on Delta pretty much matched our SkyTeam Elite benefits (as published by that alliance). It was only NW that gave us extra perks - and I only recall the extra perk being upgrades.
