You know how you sometimes get tired of answering the same questions over and over again? It's not anyone's fault. Newcomers are arriving at FlyerTalk all the time and for them every question is a new one. Still, you tend to find yourself skipping over some questions just because you've answered it perhaps dozens of times.

Well, I thought It might be a good idea to create a web site to answer the most commonly asked questions as it pertains to Mileage Plus Premiers in the United States, and all the related upgrade/free travel inquiries.

Not a site just rehashing all the published stuff, but one that addressed unpublished perks and benefits as well. And with examples that visitors could understand. Straight talk and some inside skinny.

In honor of the end of the 1999 Mileage Plus Benefits Year, which ended yesterday February 29th, I am pleased to announce:

The Unofficial United Help Desk!

And I'm asking you old travel warriors to give it the once over and let me know what I left out. I had nothing written down and it was coming right out of the old noggin, so there are bound to be some misses.

Enjoy!
