UA Codesharing to Africa Options?

Long-time UA flyer, particularly having lived in Germany for three years with regular trips to DC. Now I'm in Sudan, however, and I can't understand why UAL doesn't code-share out of Africa. I'm...

I was sitting on 49,271 miles until Tuesday's MUC-OTP flight on LH. That's worth 730, so as soon as LH sends my credit over I'll be at 50,001 EQMs and a 1P for the first time. I've got an...

Nice score!

I had the broken lights/TV/audio in E+ on a 767 MUC-ORD a few months ago and got 2,000 RDMs when I complained. I think you win this round. :D
