I'm guessing you're really transiting ZRH, not Zhuhai Jinwan Airport. ;)

Welcome to FT.

Thanks, it looks like a number of people will be at EWR at the same time on 2/17:

UA 18 MXP-EWR (dogloverjb, Mitz9060, rzamora) - 1:25 pm ET arrival
UA 65 LIS-EWR (slocouple) - 1:35 pm ET arrival
UA 121 BCN-EWR (klashn, Majuki) - 1:50 pm ET arrival

Assuming on-time arrivals, we'll all be getting in within 25 minutes of each other. I don't know if there are concessions landside in the arrivals hall, but I'd be up for a quick meetup if others are.

UA977 DXB--IAD

I am planning on doing a 6 hour tour (can have up to 3 additional people) for the same price, so if anyone is interested in joining and splitting cost, please let me know :-)

rmannion Jan 18, 2014 6:43 pm

Looks like we're on the same flight - delayed for 2 hrs and counting due to GPS issues :/

I was fortunate enough to have united allow me to go back home since i did not think we could be back in time for the turnaround in dubai. UA 976 ended up trying to bring a new plane but when i woke up this morning, flight was cancelled, so it looked like i made a good move for being proactive.i wonder if they cancelled due to lack of flight crew? How does one check?

If you have an ExpertFlyer membership, you can look up the reason. I can't make sense of some of the codes myself. :D

Time was when http://www.unitedcargo.com/ would give you more detailed status reports on past flights. Haven't tried it in a while.

I am on IAD-DXB-IAD next weekend and wanted to know what the upgrade offers at check-in could be? Does anyone have experience to share?

No experience with DXB, but I was offered $1799 TLV-EWR-IAH last week. I was not offered anything IAH-EWR-BOM.

I'm on UA 18 as well on 2/17 MXP to EWR. Will have my FT luggage tags. If anyone needs lounge access in MXP, send me a PM.

klashn, my wife, and I will be on UA 121 BCN-EWR tomorrow.. I gave klashn two United Club day passes since he's connecting. (We're terminating at EWR tomorrow, so they're of no use to us.) I have a FT tag on my camera/laptop bag too. Feel free to say hi if you see me at EWR tomorrow.

I'm on the same flight. If anybody wants to stop by and say hello, I'll be in seat 30K.

AFAICT, we don't have a plan for a meetup landside.

You can PM me. klashn and I will be coming off of UA 121 about the same time.

Upperdeck744 Feb 17, 2014 12:35 pm

Sorry I didn't see your post before we left or I would have stopped by. Nice landing in EWR eh? I wonder how much of the plane they broke with that landing! In the central lounge by gate 102 for about the next 20 mins. If anyone still around.

I'll be doing MXP-JFK on Apr 6. Our flights leave about the same time. I'm on the AA/US mistake fare though. Did you find a good/cheap hotel in Milan?


Here are my Wideroe flights:
3/6 IAD-LHR
3/7 LHR-FRA-BOM

3/11 BOM-FRA-IAD

Since I'll only be there for 24 hours (arriving ATH-MXP on the 5th at 10am), I decided to stay in the city -- I booked the Adi Doria Grand Hotel via Rocketmiles for $117/night ($128 a/i), but there are probably better options.

The Sheraton MXP is actually going for $119 for April 5th with the SPG Best Escapes promo (book by Saturday): http://www.spghotescapes.com/search/milan

I stayed at the Hotel Ibis MXP last year which was cheap(ish) and convenient as well.

Just landed back in the US after taking UA976/977 from iad-dxb.

Reconfirmed how lack of customer service and attention UA FAs are compared to asian airlines.
