i found these tickets about worthless. they are controlled by the cheapest tickets, W, V and T (i think) and ua only flys to about 43 of those 48 states.
the end value of the ticket is about $300 on a discounted ticket.
of course, day-of-departure or one day in advance, quite often those booking codes are available.

fparker: I agree....not the most valuable cert, but I will use it to fly my Dad out from VA to visit me in CA...so it will be put to good use.
FYI: I got one of only TWO upgrades on UA104 this afternoon (2pm departure) on the 777 from LAX-ORD. Row 15 of the 777 configured for Pacific use.
Much commotion around the boarding door as 3 large goons boarded to 'secure the aircraft' for our VIP: Grey Dave (Gov. of CA....yawn). Funny thing...this is my 3rd time flying with him in 3 years. He was in row 9 of C.
Slow night here in the F RCC at ORD. Connecting flight to Ottawa on AC is delayed.
Cheers
