I just booked one for a quick out and back.....I wonder what US serves for lunch mid-con.

Thank for heads up RE: the QUPs from PBI.

ALCO's routing is 7531 miles RT.

7531 * 300% = 22,593 status miles + 25% Gold bonus = 28,241 destination miles.

ETA: Oops, nevermind. I didn't catch that you were going out of PBI.

This fare allows for all sorts of intriguing FM lines, such as DCA-PHX and LAS-FLL...

Me too. :D I never thought anyone so cute could become so yucky looking.

Call me weird, but I <3 US Airways. :D

I think US Airways F meal and service are miles ahead of UA. Given the choice, I'd go with US Airways over US, unless you are in 752 row 2 :rolleyes:

UA still has that TPA fare. If you don't mind ONT-SFO in coach, it's still pretty good.

I see; just referring to L'Espace Affaires in a colloquial manner. :-:

Weird.

I have not been on a US F flight with real meal service anytime recently, but I would be willing to do the PBI-PDX routing all on US.

I have never flown the latter but I used to be on DCA-PHX a lot - HP was almost always the least expensive WAS option, I preferred to fly from DCA, and I was earning CO miles for those flights.

My first one never wanted to sleep by herself. She stayed until she was around 6. The second child loved his crib until his sister went to her own room finally and he then moved in.

7160 x 3 = 21,480

Is there some othe status bonus I'm not counting?

Ok, here's the thing. You have to expect plastic (and I suspect some folks here don't mind plastic ;) ). Once you get over that, you will realize that the plastic cups US airways gives are bigger than UA F tumbler. Hence, you will not have to call the FA for refills constantly. And, US FAs are pretty good about refills.

Predeparture drink, UA serves only water or OJ (:rolleyes:) but US does a bev of your choice (Nothing new since CO does the same). If you ask for water (I always do), they give you a large bottle for you to keep. I like that a lot.

For meals, I think US Airways' portions are bigger with better quality. Again, once you get past plastic, you will realize it's not too bad.

Then, they have those snack basket with lots of goodies (biscoff and my favorite nut mix with cranberry) to fill you up during the flight where as UA has nothing :rolleyes: unless you are willing to pay for the snackboxes.

US Airways FAs are generally better than UA.

So yea. US is not bad except for the sh*tty seats they have on the 752 where row 1 can literally recline into your face :rolleyes:. I can deal with the 734, despite the ooooolllld planes.

:D

I wouldn't mind doing PBI-DCA-PHX-PDX-LAS-CLT-PBI.

Interesting... PDX-PHL-MIA on the return doesn't really subtract very many miles at all, and yields better flight times...

The quality of the arguments in the WN forum seem to be inversely proportional to their fanboy factor. The brand has generated so much loyalty (good) that its partisans get their panties in a bunch when anyone mentions anything remotely related to a violation of status quo that could ultimately work for the better (bad).
