), and will have FT tags on our carryons.
We took a bump and stayed in Pittsburgh on this run (9/10-11). We got a hotel room, meal vouchers and $200 each in US travel credits.
This weekend, 9/17-18 was originally an ART run, changed some time ago to BUF when the SAN-PIT nonstop went away. We stayed in Niagara Falls, very nice, first time for both of us. Upgraded to first on PHL-BUF and BUF-PHL, exit rows SAN-PHL and PHL-SAN.
This mistake fare has had an unexpected result. We are now booking at least half our travel on US, the other half on UA. I am putting miles into MP and my wife into DM, so as to keep my status on UA and for her to earn status on US.
Love those exit rows and complimentary upgrades for even bottom tier elites and their companions!
