confluence of good news or luck?
I checked in for ORD-SFO-PVG. RPU'S cleared a week ago, so first leg looks good. I notice Wifi is available on the A319. Decent E+ seat on second leg. One hour ten to connect.
Weather looks bad. I see the waiver and call UA with zero hold time. I've been messed up by a mechanical with this short layover so I call and ask to be put on the direct flight. Lots of hold but the answer is yes. I ask if I can pay up to W fare and use SWU (never cleared on SFO-PVG). The answer is yes. I get one of 5 open C seats and its a nice one!
Is this a start of something new? I am really hoping so.
