this.
I was a $70-80k a year flyer mostly to Asia. That hasn’t come back yet and won’t for a bit.
I do domestic flying as well- often paid first but unlike pre covid when I was flying to LAX/SFO all the time I’m flying to other cities with relatively cheap paid up front fares (600-700 round trip).
I had 1 Europe business class paid this year. I’ll Spend about $12k this year.
next year I have 5 Europe trips before July all in paid first. Haven’t booked yet. If I maintain GS I’ll do them on UA if not I’ll check out other carriers and spread the money around.
im not hopeful that UA will play the long game here and more likely to be short sighted.
