I am flying on AC and SK flights with convoluted routing as that was all that was available at the time I booked, 70K each. Over the last 6 months since I got these awards there have not been any award flights on UA metal. Now all of a sudden there are loads of ways I can get to CPH and home from ARN in J for 60K miles on UA flights with better times and less travel time. But I cannot change these awards unless I pay the redeposit fee which I am not willing to do. I am on hold with UA for 77 minutes now, am going to ask if they will waive the redeposit fee, but I think I know the answer.
