Good for you. I for one much prefer the quick and easy to use guide when I'm booking a flight as to which routes offer the best mileage options. If those figures are missing on a long term basis, trying to put together trips to maximize miles becomes a lot more long winded.

Of course, I realise that I am totally opposite to the vast majority who post on this board, who take every opportunity to snipe at UA. I actually prefer travelling with them than any other carrier.

BTW. I wasn't asking for an opinion on whether these figures should be available or not. I was asking if anyone else was seeing that they were missing at this moment in time.
