Huh? You got them (6) when you crossed 100K EQM last year and 2 more if you crossed 150K or a higher 50K multiple. They haven't come with a kit since they were paper years ago. Just a guess but the $61 is probably a premium cabin tax levied by one of the airports - that is getting more common these days although places like LHR have done it for years. If so - nothing to do with UA - they just have to collect it if you are in the designated cabin.
