Great airfares on United
Wow. I had been seeing some really expensive airfares so had delayed purchasing or switched to WN or driving. Today I was looking at some WN flights as I had some canx reservations to spend but the credit was not sufficient for the flights so would need to pay for the difference. Decided to take a quick look at United (not feeling hopeful after the last few attempts to purchase tickets) and wow. Ticket for my friend and me less than the additional price for one of us on WN. Immediately booked UA and applied points for the upgrade and those came through. Using points for only one of us was significantly greater than cash plus points for both of us. Did not use PlusPoints as may need to change the dates and do not want to lose them.
Got a great international W fare and use of PlusPoints last week.
This is a change I like. United wants my business (for what seems like this first time in quite a while!)
