I thought the rules for this special fare say No Upgrades.

I know you can us the UA SWU on regular LH Z fares and not UA Z, but this fare was a special case.

Using what BD ?

Is it wrong to write a trivia category called "The Eagles..." and have questions about both the band and the football team in it?

Hmmm, if nothing else, it's worth trying. One can hope for a gate agent not paying attention. :)

Worst case, i redeposit the SWUs.

I was just on the phone with the elite desk confirming that EK confirmed our reward seats to MRU & CPT:

Agent: Wow, everything looks good. You would like to ticket these?

MBM3: Yes, please do so.

Agent: Well, taxes will be $86 and Mrs. MBM3 will have a reservations center fee...

MBM3: A reservation center fee for a reward ticket that can not be booked online?

Agent: Yes, Mr. MBM3, I must charge the fee. Yours is waived as a Platinum.

MBM3: May I please speak to your supervisor?

Agent: Certainly.

Agent: I have customer service on the line. They will assist you with these records from here.

MBM3: Thank you (wondering how my request for a supervisor ended up customer support)

Agent2: Hello Mr. MBM3

MBM3: Hello

DEAD AIR

MBM3: Hello? Hello? Hello?

DEAD AIR

Agent: Sorry Mr. MBM3, I stayed on the line and it seems she dropped off. Let me try again.

MBM3: Okay thank you.

Agent2: Sorry about that Mr. MBM3

MBM3: That's okay

DEAD AIR

MBM3: Hello? Hello? Hello? Unbelievable


I mean seriously, why does it need to be so hard?

[RANTOFF]

Wow
 

WOW! We are having a MONSTER downpour here in Central NJ. I don't think I've seen rain this heavy and this hard for a long time. Pretty spectacular thunder and lightening too.

Of course it is worth trying, the best thing to do is to go to the F lounge in FRA or MUC and ask if you can use your upgrade cert.

Its dark in midtown but no rain yet. Im patiently waiting for CO to respond to the promotions/changes made by UA, DL, and AA this week.;)

Yeah , the thunder and lightning have reached EWR and North Jerz.

seems to be r:rolleyes:lling out of here now. Still got some residual thunder and lightening, but the rain is now just a typical rain. For a moment there, i thought I was in the tropics and having my daily mid-day downpour....!

Just cloudy, hot, and humid here in Fort Worth. They are predicting some nice storms tomorrow afternoon (in time for my flight, I'm guessing ;) )

Good thing my windows are closed. :rolleyes:

I am supposed to be flying out of EWR. 20 minutes ago the weather turned quite :rolleyes: The thunder is unbelieveably loud. I can hardly see the aircraft at C123 from the C3 PC.

JFK, LGA, and EWR are on ground stops.

We are starting ot get apocalyptic rainfall in midtown NYC now. guess I'm trekking over to get my passport and new Indian visa another day... Still -- better than this morning when the subway platforms felt like 130 degrees and I wanted a scuba tank so I didn't drown in the humidity. Ugh.

peace,
