Yeah, same here. That is why I assume we only get 1x credit.

The key from my understanding is the fare basis and not the class of service. You're still buying a F fare.

I just may have to take on this TPA-ONT fare... I am trying to book it through .bomb but can't force the JFK connection. I'll try Expedia.

Sorry...I was thinking of BD credit, not UA. :o

On UA it would be 250% credit, right?? 150% for F and then 100% for dEQM? So figure ~20K miles, plus or minus, for each one.

Other than the sunburn, I'd say we won. Big time. :p

Ok, but after the GA and the people at the service center, who is left?

Since you're Gold, you are eligible for a battlefield upgrade. So, you can politely tell the GA to unseat someone that's already boarded in Y, seat you, then upgrade you into the last F seat, reseat the customer that they unsat and everyone is happy. You've got to help alot of GAs think outside the box.

While this is certainly the solution to the problem, I doubt that many GAs are going to be happy being told how to do their job or that we know these things better than they do. The number of times I've been told that I shouldn't know a GG code for something is way more than it should be (zero). It is easier for them to not do anything and many seem quite happy to take that route.

Ask someone at the front desk if they know where an aloe plant is, so that you can take a leaf and split it open and use the inside slime to put on your sunburn. It will help the pain a great deal and help you not to develop any sun blisters.

I gave me an error at first , I closed my browser and tried it again and it worked.
My original issue was the connection times, .bomb was giving me errors on that but then in true .:rolleyes: fashion it corrected itself.

I guess you may have to use exp or tcity
