Not on the evening EWR-FLL and EWR-TPA. Just peanuts and booze. Strangely, CLE/IAH flights to FL do get a snack.

Hell, I'd rather take my chances on Aeroflot than give Gordon Bethune another dime for his crummy coach product, unusuable miles and an awful international upgrade policy.

The only reason I flew CO once this year was I flew on a $300 Travel credit & the ticket ended up being free. At least if I didn't get the upgrade on AA mainline, I would get MRTC.

As for intl, I can upgrade on AA on nearly any published fare with miles. (or VIP's if I had one). Not so with CO.

With US, I can upgrade to Europe with most fares (V,L excluded). I can get a sub $400 fare (for October travel) from LAX to London with US on a Q fare basis & upgrade with my US transatlatic upgrades. (even low & mid tier US flyers get the transatlantic upgrades--very nice! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif). No HoKeY hassles, no lottery, etc on intl CO upgrading!

Even on UA, when I upgrade, I would rather sit in 15 A/B on a 747 going to LAX-ORD or maybe LAX-IAD. It sures beats a 737 going to EWR on CO.

Get rid of the terrible attitudes, and I'll keep flying.

in the air, i think the attitudes are great. it's just on the ground where things get dicey (particularly in Newark). having said that, i have had excellent professional help at Newark...though it is sporadic.

In EWR today, all gates are divided into multiple boarding lines and a sign for Elite boarding to the right, general boarding to the left.
A Pc agent said that the only change he knows about is the treatment of Full Y pax as Elite for a day.

Ohhh noooo, it's spreading. This was reported yesterday at IAH.

Elite Access

Same signs in BWI this afternoon.

What are they for? anyone?

Not to gloat over bad news folks, but it seems my source was 100% spot on with this info, down even to the date.

ummm he got the Elite Access part right, but he missed the bad news part...which is abit more important than the Elite Access part.

You were right on with this one. Please don't take this in the wrong way, but as far as I'm concerned this more than makes up for the little 'Song' problem last year.

Good job...keep 'em coming - even the bad ones.

I picked up a rumor from two usually reliable sources within Continental over the past few days that there are rumblings of changes to the OnePass program. These are expected to be announced sometime this month (one specifically said September 16).

Credit where credit is due. Very good inside info. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

Any idea how many SWU upgrades United 1Ks will get next February? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I was lookin' at some old threads, ahhhh for the good ol' days, and what a difference a day makes. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
