I have looked online and seen that the United number is definitely on the itinerary.

Out of 13 Grupo TACA flights, TA and LR operated, only 5 posted with no problem. I have no idea why some did and some didnt, in fact, my GRU-LIM segments posted perfectly about 10 days later but my 5 segment trip MEX-GUA-SJO-LIM-SJO-MEX saw only 2 post in the same itinerary. I think the key thing I noticed on my BPs was a UAP notation in the middle right of your TACA boarding pass which seemed to be the missing link. I would encourage you to show the check-in agent your MP card for both outbound and inbound and keep your fingers crossed.

As I noted earlier, the US-based MP agents are pretty good with sending information via email to TACA if some of you flights did post and some didnt. That usually takes just a few days. DO NOT CALL THE 1-800 NUMBER FOR MP. Those agents are clueless...as many of us already know.

Enjoy your flights with TACA!
