I used the "new" United.com and Purchased a FF Mixed class ticket, ORD-EWR-FRA-DMM today for 80K miles + $40 in taxes. The EWR-FRA & FRA-DMM booked into (LH metal) business class and ORD-EWR booked into economy for Mrs. Gpicur. When I went to select the seats on the UA ORD-EWR segment, UA charged me $69 for Economy Plus Seating. I paid it and am hopping mad.

HAVE others experienced this problem, has there been a change in 1K benefits or is it a concerted effort on the part of UA to sneek unwarranted charges past their 1K customers ?

I contacted 1Kvoice via email but I did not received the acknowledgement email that they received my complaint as I have come to expect in past correspondence with 1KVoice.

I am suspicious of United ever since they charged me for a bag at SRQ when flying first class this past summer. They did eventually refund the bag fee but only after lengthy email explanation of facts.
