Tell me about it :rolleyes:

They're currently repainting the TED planes back to UA but are not reconfig-ing them yet (in the works but going slowly.)

That airline has issues.

I used to live in a town called Ind:rolleyes::rolleyes:o: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.

Hmmm...no BNE on the UA deal, so that's out.

And I'm really not sure how to value the BD miles. I have only been collecting them so far. I'm sure that I'll get value out of them once I redeem them, but I don't know when that will be. I should have ~200K RDMs after the SYD run, should I do it.

They will soon cut TPA too and take it to United Express only as well.

I'm mostly annoyed that my TPA-IAD flight on the TPA-ONT Up fare is in E- because I credit to BD, so even though it is an F fare I'm stuck in the way back.

Bleh :td:

If you want to call back into UA - and maybe even the website will allow you to do this - you can add a second FF number as UA records have two fields for FFNs: one for earning and one for status.

Mention that to a UA employee at the aeropuerto and they'll move you up to +.

I think it is $500 from LAX/SFO. It is $715ish pre busting.

I likely need to go to YYZ later this year anyways, so adding the LA JFK-YYZ flight to do the busting might actually save me even more money in the long run. ^^

But I don't have UA status either. :eek:

Yeah...I'm about 50/50 on that just by being in the RCC, showing my *G card and asking if there are any better seats available. In the end I don't really care for the 2 hours.

I can still change seats from the comfort of SFO. I have The Power. ;) :D

Yes I did and you were muttering something about how could we work this shift. I was going to say good bye to you on board but you already had on your shades and pillow wrapped around your neck.

Looks like 40K was easily reached whilst I was away. What an industrious group of post whores we have here. :D
