The website works better than the app, UA being scam free are harder to find so looking on the UA site may be better. That said ... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...44d71374d4.png |
If I look on the UA site which one are eligible for awards ?

I can see options on United going down, but it's Air Canada coming back (SAN-SFO on UA and SFO-YYC on AC).
Is there a reason why you want to avoid Air Canada? As Elite you don't pay the fuel surcharge on North American rewards anyway, so you won't be hit with a scam charge. All of these show up on the Aeroplan site. |

The return options on 23rd all suck. All 13-14 hours, the only one stop is UA/AC and without status it’s going to have sone fees. That said I see 25k points and $170 for the entire trip in Y which isn’t that bad. However, there a double stop return all on UA with 8h in SFO. Drops overall fees to $80. Same one expects you to connect in 40m in LAX though which I can see going wrong. Theres always buying a revenue return in the $300-$400 range for a single stop. Depends how you feel about a 2.4cpm and what else $300 is worth to you vs a day in transit. That’s all assuming Y. |

Yesterday I was about to purchase tickets at 346.00/all in but had to run to the gym and though Id do it the minute I got back. BOOM. Price jumped 140 bucks. At 487.00, the CPM is about (if I do the math right with about 170 in fees) which is 1.2CPM no? Which is poor? |

At 487.00, the CPM is about (if I do the math right with about 170 in fees) which is 1.2CPM no? Which is poor? If the price is good book. I’ve been trying for months to finalize a trip (not alone) and price went up $1500 last week. Found better options and then up $800. Now that’s not AC. But I’ve seen AC prices jump $200 (lost) and $500 (won) over night too. It could go down again. But it might get worse. Only you can answer what works for you. Got a million points and nothing planned for the 23rd? Earn minimum wage? Got a friend in SFO? Probably best to save the cash. Got 26k points, earn 6 figures and don’t have anything to do for 8h in SFO? Might want to buy a revenue return. If you can use 12.5k points elsewhere before June 2020 (or earn another 11.5k). I realize the above may seem be extreme and certainly don’t expect an answer just trying to make a point that CPM and choices you make are greatly dependant upon your personal situation. I would and do pay $200 for a preferred seat return TATL, that’s badically my minimum position for a Y flight. I have friends who won’t spent $15 to avoid a middle seat, despite being able to easily afford it. Hope this helps. |

Good to know. You should probably update your profile, since I only made the assuption when I saw
Anyway, I don't think the YQ on domestic and trans-border travel is that much is it? I sound bad now that I cannot remember :) |

I usually arrive at the airport one hour prior to flight departure. With TSA Pre, it's easy to clear, and keep in mind there is no Star Alliance lounge at SAN, so no need to waste your time at a pretty boring airport.

For AC flights leaving SAN, how early should one arrive at the San Diego airport?
We have TSA precheck and carry-on only.

There’s a UA lounge, but I wouldn’t make a point of visiting it. |
