FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Further UA nonsense:

Meant to post this earlier -- one of my SYD-SFO flights got in late and I missconnected to my HNL leg. Went to the RCC to ask for a $7 food voucher (wanted a cup of soup) and they said no but urged me to call the 1k desk.

Call the 1k desk, told me I needed to do it at the airport but as a goodwill gesture they sent me a $350 ecert.

A $350 voucher and all I wanted was $7 for a cup of soup.

Not sure if I should hate or love UA.

SYD. BNE is fun (and warmer) as well. And an interesting line or too.

I used to live in a town called Ind:rolleyes::rolleyes:r:rolleyes::rolleyes:pilly, which is a suburb of BNE. :rolleyes:^

I'm all about the miles. I guess I just place a different value on them than some of the folks on here.

Not bad -- just having to pack up my stuff as I'm moving to TPA this weekend is a hassel.

Moving to TPA, huh? You know they still mostly have TED planes there, right? :p

I thought it was just you and me and went off to do 5 minutes of work. I came back to find that I'd completely missed it. :rolleyes:
