Is this a UA or Star Gold benefit?
Relevance???
If you re-read my OP, I was not complaining (in this case) that UA is "mistreating" Star Golds, rather I was impressed that they had this benefit for their 1K's and was wondering whether Air Canada has the same thing for their SE's. No one has yet answered that question.
BTW, does UA publicize this benefit to 1K's?
My apologies.*G have complained so much about UA not giving E+ seats that I assumed you were doing the same. Shouls have paid more attention to your OP.
It is a UA Elite UGS,1K & PE benefit only for International, 1k only for domestic. not *Gold.
Air Canada has no such policy for its SE. I questioned it once when AC flight was cancelled because of weather in late 2006.
AC does not even provide meal vouchers if AC is obligated to provide accommodations because of misconnection.All other carriers provide meal vouchers.In 2006 I had paid J flight YVR-NRT continuing onwards to SA. It was a misconnection. AC provided a hotel. No meal vouchers. When I questioned the NRT concierge about the meal vouchers, she informed me AC's policy accommodations only.
I have had misconnectins many times with both *A carriers and non-*A, all have provided meal vouchers with accommodations.My ticket was not Y not discounted C but full J.
With AC's Nickle & Diming, I cannot see AC providing this benefit to its SE in the near future.
Most UA1k know about this benefit.I know I knew about it before it was posted on FT..I cannot recall if UA publised it or when I was given this benefit for the first time by UA CR at an airport.
BTW it is recent,2005.
