UA segments on C RTW
 

Hi guys,

flying on a C-Class RTW tix issued by LH with some segments in the US. The three domestic US flight segments are booked as follows:

LAX-PHX in M-Class (okay its a CRJ so only 1-class a/c)
PHX-LAX in M-Class (okay its a CRJ so only 1-class a/c)

and

LAX-JFK (UA22) in M-Class :confused: (this is a PS flight on a 3-class 757)

Now am I missing something here or is this booking into "M-Class" rubbish? This would mean a seat in the Y cabin and not in Biz as it should be. I was expecting to see either a C or D booking class for that flight.

Any thoughts? Thanks. Cheers ....

Was/is there availability in D?

SmilingBoy.

Demue, in CRTW you should get D on that PS-Service. What had happened sometimes that there is no D available for the flight you pick. What usually I do is to just get any flight with D in one of those LAX-JFK routes. Then call UA to change it to your UA22. Sometimes confirmed on the spot. Sometimes waitlisted for a day.
Of course, again it depends on the date of your travel.

I guess your TA screwed up. If you have a paper ticket make sure your also get the flight coupons for any flights which are on a waiting list after ticketing.

It has happened to me that I was booked into Y and waitlisted on A on UA. The waiting list cleared but I only had the coupon for the Y flight in my ticket. Ended up flying in Y...

Next time, when you have the same situation, ask the TA to make that particular segment flight coupon OPEN on A class... ;)

My guess is there was no D availability on your flight. Best to chose another flight with D availability, or failing that have an open segment. Then waitlist for the flight you really want (needs to be same routing to avoid reissue fee).

Basic Question
 

I have never purchased a RTW ticket before, and I have a basic question for C class RTW on UA.

Many UA flights within North America are operated with just 2 cabins, F and Y. Will I be issued a ticket in Y on these flights :( ?

Thanks.

on 2 class planes you are allowed to book first, booking class A...

....but only in the 48 states. e.g. Hawai'i flights do not permit A class ..

Since when?

Thanks everyone for the tips. I got the situation sorted. LH's RTW ticket desk just plainly "screwed up" on that one. They weren't aware of the fact that it was a 3-class a/c and probably still in the "1-class zone" from booking LAX-PHX-LAX on that CRJ a/c.

Whatever is all I can say. Just re-confirms that one really has to check every little detail. Now everything sorted and availability was no issue either. Thanks guys.

Cheers ....

Not true! Had A class segments many times before to HNL and OGG on CRWSTAR1

The "UA/CX" RTW says

For travel within Continental USA/CANADA via UA where no Business Class seat is available, Business Class fare paying passenger may travel on First class seat.

Unfortunately HNL/OGG is not in Continental USA :(

...we're talking about the *A RTW in C, here, not the 'UA|CX RTW'... perhaps the booking class (CRWSTAR1) tripped you up? ;)
