CAAC will extend 40% capacity control on all US carriers flights to China in May.
Not surprisingly, I just discovered that UA has blocked all ticket sales for UA 857 SFO-PVG in May.
Few hours ago you can buy a J ticket for $19,000. Now you can't even buy that.
Soon UA will start canceling people's tickets and kick them out.
It honestly might be worth it, if someone without status truly has to travel, to do a $3,000 PQP mileage run to get silver status and be higher up on the list to stay on the flight.
