UA has E+ for morbidly obese pax ! :D |
other than the fact that he had 10 whickies & passed out on you, is it wrong of a fellow passenger to wear a turban (or whatever their ethnic dress may be?)..you aint in your living room or a party to enforce dress code...!!

I spent the $200+ extra to book in B to get miles, but discovered on the return from ICN that my UA M+ isn't on the ticket. I have been fighting w/ UA for 6 months to get the credit, but w/o success. It was an e-ticket, so I have no receipt. I sent copies of my boarding stubs with the tix #. but now I'm told SQ will only issue credit if the ticket receipt is supplied. They are just playing games, as they know I flew it, they have the ticket #, etc. My other complaints w/ SQ: the flights are always full, mostly of non-FT types. This flight I had the last open seats next to me until the last moment when 2 men w/ turbans come. The one next to me has a death grip on my arm rest, squishing me. Once in the air, he has 10 whiskeys & passes out on me. The main steward tried to limit his drinks, but the other girls kept supplying them. On the return, the check-in agent tells me the flight is completely full, so I don't change from the 1st row of coach. (I was 1st to check in, which is essential on SQ as they don't pre-assign seats). Most rows have empty middle seats except mine, which turns out to be the baby row. Fun for 10 hours! The bottom line: SQ treats UA elite like dirt, even after charging much more for the mileage credit. :D :D :D |

How is it you don't have a receipt for your e-ticket? These are always emailed, faxed or even a paper copy posted to the buyer. Did you not print out a copy and take it to the airport with you? Is there not a copy still lurking in your delete bin, if you deleted it, or still in your email inbox? Do you not keep a copy for your financial records?

Good luck to the OP - rather strong conclusion based on what :confused: .
Please take your custom elsewhere. |

SQ do allow pre-assignment of seats. But even if you weren't able to, being a *G member surely you would could have requested a different row at check-in - after all, "Most rows have empty middle seats". :confused: |
Well this was an amusing read.
Blaming an airline for a larger passenger??? Come on - get a grip! As others have said, e-tickets are always issued with an e-receipt that you can print and is usually emailed - if you did not keep it it is your fault(sorry). Also, that you didn't check your BP before boarding and didn't note the *G or the lack of your number on it - again your fault(sorry). You claim to be a "FT type" - which I assume means savvy to the ways of miles, airlines, the travel expeience, yet you've almost proved in actions that you yourself are NOT a "FT-Type" since you've failed several of the cardinal FT "rules" when flying. I hope you've learned from your experience and next time, whoever you fly with, you have a better experience... but remember like your family you can't choose your seatmate! |
