FlyerChrisK-
Thanks for the link and reply!
I was looking at the more general page (
http://www.united.com/page/article/1...cessPrivileges ) and also was aware of the changed that I mentioned earlier when they got rid of the privilege for 1Ps, but I guess they changed it back for 1Ps, so I'm really happy about that!
Thanks.
One last question to clarify-
I read the policy to mean "within 3 hours of your request" and NOT within 3 hours of the originally scheduled flight, right?
Upcoming mileage run ORD-LAX and my first flight arrives LAX at 10:09am and my return flight does leave LAX until 6:57pm. However, once I land at LAX, under this policy, I should be able to immediately find the first LAX-ORD flight and go standby, right? Was considering renting a car and finding some good grub in the city but I might just instead turn right back around and fly home if that's possible (for free, I mean).
Thanks again for any help!
