W fare HNL-IAH-IAD-KWI-BAH and BAH-KWI-IAD-SFO-HNL for $1,823 nets 23,594 miles at 7.7cpm. I have two GPUs and R>0 for both inbound and outbound. I'm 19k miles short of 1K for 2014. Is this a good deal?

Yeah that change fee is nasty. When the schedule change hit thy agreed to waive my change fee to upfare. I have it neatly noted in the PNR, just patiently waiting for R>0 on KWI-IAD.

Fare upgraders, take note: I see (for some dates, anyway) that V is pricing lower than W! So if you are going to call to upfare, do your homework first or ask for the upfare amounts for V and for W.

Yeah that would be VWQRC7N. If your transatlantic sector operates Friday or Saturday its cheaper than the lowest W fare (WL5RCE).

I also noticed the cheaper V fares when I called to change my dates after the IAD-BAH schedule change. Didn't up fare since I don't have any remaining GPUs until Dec.

I believe that with 500 mile minimums KWI-BAH it would be 24,061 PQM.

That being said (and a bit OT)....from Hawaii you can get some nice UA biz fares to the Caribbean (some destinations: BON,UVF,AUA,SJU,MBJ) that can yield better 7.7cpm (after biz bonus)....

I am excited to join the party on the Nov 23 outbound and returning the 24. It will be fun to meet you guys. I am a bit ashamed to say though that since I have to go to work the next day I used a GPU to upgrade.
I noticed someone said we should get a boarding pass reprinted at the transit desk at IAD. Can you tell me what the transit desk is?
Thanks

SCHEDULE CHANGE ON NOV9
For those LAX-based on NOV9: LAX-IAD FLT#653 is now FLT#293 with 41 min connection (instead of 40 minutes)
For those WAS-based going to BAH via LAX on NOV9: IAD-LAX FLT#470 is now FLT#1517
I just checked the PNR and found the changes. I used the changes to my advantage to find better equipments. I now am on international configuration 772 on BOTH IAD-LAX and LAX-IAD. I was upgraded on original NOV9 PNR for both IAD-LAX and LAX-IAD (booked on JUL12), and I was able to keep my original upgrades on those segments and get them on both international configuration 772 because of available upgrade inventory (R9).
Here is my new PNR:
NOV8 IAD-LAX UA312 (Departs 17:44 EST, arrives 20:17 PST; International 772)
NOV9 LAX-IAD UA856 (Departs 07:45 PST, arrives 15:26 EST; International 772)
NOV9 IAD-BAH UA982
NOV10 BAH-IAD UA981
It may be worthwhile for those with upgrade instruments (miles or RPU, or GPU if you must burn GPU) to jump on the upgrade to international J.
I am debating if I want to book a hotel room at LAX for NOV8, or if I want to tough it out at RCC overnight.
Here is the detail...
ORIGINAL LAX-IAD on NOV9 (Booked on JUL12)
- UA653
- Departs LAX at 13:20
- Arrives IAD at 21:10
- Equipment A320
- 40 min connection
First Schedule Change to LAX-IAD on NOV9 that I noticed (circa JUL22)
- UA653
- Change: Departs LAX at 13:15
- Change: Arrives IAD at 21:05
- Change: Equipment 752
- Change: 45 minutes connection
Most Recent Change to LAX-IAD on NOV9 I noticed today
- Changed from UA653 to UA293
- Change: Departs LAX at 13:16
- Change: Arrives IAD at 21:09
- Changed to Equipment A320
- Change: 41 minutes connection
In addition to changes to NOV9 LAX-IAD, NOV9 IAD-LAX is also changed today.
ORIGINAL IAD-LAX on NOV9 (Booked on JUL12)
- UA470
- Departs IAD at 8:45
- Arrives LAX at 11:09
- Equipment 752
- 2hrs 11 min connection
Most Recent Change to IAD-LAX on NOV9 I noticed today
- Changed from UA470 to UA1517
- Change: Departs IAD at 8:53
- Change: Arrives LAX at 11:40
- Change: Equipment 753
- Change: 1hr 36 minutes connection
So I called 1K desk and requested the FLT change. It was a direct swap because both IAD-LAX on NOV8 and LAX-IAD on NOV9 have R9 for upgrades.
Hope this helps....
