Buying Individual Bulk Fares Directly from United / United Vacations
Being interested in trans-ocean business class travel I have noticed that if one goes to the United website and prices airfare + hotel one can get some all premium air travel with a hotel included for less than just the equivalent class airfare. However, on the air plus hotel the business and/or first class air is described as "bulk" which may impact elite qualifying. Have others found this a useful way to book premium travel, or is the discount from just regular airfare not enough to make it worthwhile for many to use?
