anyone have any recent experience entering numbers with Orbitz tickets by phone, online or at the gate?
If you haven't heard, CO and UA are in a merger. You can already transfer miles between UA and CO. They will fully merge their program by 2012.
It usually makes sense to consolidate miles, rather than have bits of miles in the various mileage accounts. The agent was doing your daughter a favor by putting down her UA number for UA, US, and CO segments.
