Canceled flight on RTW?
Hey folks,
I just noticed there was a change in my RTW itinerary, see below: http://absix.net/blah2.jpg Instad of F A320, I will be flying F in CRJ7 :mad::mad::mad: Is there any chance that they might change it again or this will be final? Thanks! |
Yes it could change again. I'd choose the CR7 over the A320 since the F cabin is a smaller 1-2 configuration than the A320's 2-2. My preferred seat is 2A where there's a smaller chance of people bumping into you compared to 1A.

These things happen.
On the bright side, at least it is a 30 minute inconvenience and not a 30 hour one. |
F in the CRJ7 for a ~250 mile flight that's going to last about 45 minutes and barely has enough time at cruise for a drink service? Do you have some phobia about smaller jets or something?
This is exceedingly small potatoes (UA A320 F is not the lap of luxury, and I suspect you'll survive 45 minutes on a regional jet in F with 37 inch pitch in a 2-1 config). And I suspect UA won't undo this; LAS-LAX is a very common route to run regional jets on. |

SU manages to provide full cabin (both C and Y) with hot meal on 1h flight (LED-SVO)...
The argument of "USA carriers **** because they won't serve a meal while I'm flying for 45 minutes" is old and tiresome. USA consumers have largely voted with their dollars: on a 45 minute flight, they can live without airplane food that has to be provided at a significant cost premium compared to that same food on the ground (and if they simply MUST have it, they can often pay for a snack separately from the price of the ticket, either on the ground, sometimes in the air, or fly in an F cabin that has a snack basket). |

I really wonder why you would care.... a flight this short on a RTW trip, who cares what type of plane they use :confused:
And otherwise just drive there. But the thought of having an issue with the size of plane to fly (when you have never flow a "small" plane) and then going on a RTW seems a little silly.... |
Like others have said as soon as you get to cruising altitude you start to decend into LA. There is always the possibility they could change the equipment again.

I don't, my wife to be has issues with small planes :( The A320 was going to please her much better. We both never flown on anything smaller than A318, not counting Maldivian Air Taxi, lol.
But I think it fairly likely that UA won't change the equipment. LAS-LAX has a ton of capacity (read: loses money for most everyone- coach fares are around $60 for advance purchase right now). Putting a CR7 on the route limits the bleeding for UA. |

Are you staying any length of time in the LA region? You could drop the segment and either drive or buy a one-way Southwest or Jet Blue flight for relatively cheap, if you simply mustn't fly on a small plane. You'd get two free checked bags on Southwest, one on Jet Blue. Yes, you wouldn't be in F (though Jet Blue has extended leg room seats), but on a flight that short, it's hardly needed.
