Dinner UA vs. CO
I regularly fly EWR to MCO and usually get upgraded. With CO - assuming they didn't run out - they offered two choices for dinner. Thursday, I was in row 2 and there was no "choice" - only one entree. Is this the "United" policy - no dinner choices?

Meal choices
(Although this is my first posting, I have been reading this forum on and off for a while. )
As for the meal choices - with the new United - if there is a meal choice available, the GS's are the only ones who will be asked for their choice. Then it becomes first come first served.

Two choices is the norm for "dinner" flights. Was there only one choice or only one choice remaining?

United Club Cards
Hi, just wondering if any former RCC or PC members have received newly branded United Club cards? I figure they might be waiting and allowing current RCC and PC cards to expire before issuing new cards, however my PC membership is lifetime, so not sure if that means I'll be using the old PC card indefinitely.

Thanks. Your right and still makes no sense since I am not a member of AA (I use BA for OW). When I checked in w LH she said my number is NOT in record. It was in the MSG field and did say "Exec Plat". Whoever put that msg in at UA didn't know what she was doing

FWIW, however, on a revenue ticket just because you enter the O/D pair doesn't mean that the system won't price it as additive via the connection point if that is cheaper.

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out exactly what routings allowed on a US-SE Asia award under the new United. I know both airlines had different rules regarding this and I've having trouble finding out the current status.
Here's what I'd like to fly:
IAH-IAD-MUC-BER (stopover)
open jaw to DBV (Dubrovnik)
DBV-FRA-ZRH-HKG-BKK (destination)
BKK-FRA-IAH
Does anyone know if that's a valid routing? I'm mostly just not sure if an open jaw is allowed in the middle like that at my stopover. The only rule I see on ua.com relating to this is that double open jaws are allowed but I'm not sure that's relevant.
If that routing is allowed, would I also be allowed to fly into BKK and out of SIN? Also, on the return would BKK-NRT or ICN-FRA be allowed, just as a connection not a stopover?
Thanks!

Anyone figured out how to divide Reservation on the new consolidated .bomb?
Ask Alex for "Divide PNR" results in the following bad advice:
To change or cancel one person's ticket when there are several travelers on the same itinerary requires the reservation to be divided. To divide the reservation, enter the confirmation number and last name in the space provided at the bottom of this Web page. Then select Separate Travelers in Passenger Details on the View Current Reservation page.
However, there exists NO "Passenger Details" drop down in the View Current Reservation page.
It does not appear to be possible to divide a PNR anymore on United.com
Has anyone else had better luck? Since my last calls to Elite Desk resulted in waits of 2 and 3 hours respectively, am reluctant to take that route....
When I tried to contact the webmaster to report a bug, I was first told that it didn't like my subject, and after I changed to "bug report", clicking on submit resulted in nothing at all. I guess they are not taking error reports either? (I had to search the site to find a way to report anything)

I guess I'm pretty slow on the draw, but only tonight have I noticed that I no longer get 100% bonus miles for each flight, as a Gold flier (formerly Premier Exec). It's not making me feel especially warm and fuzzy about UAL right now, especially after yet another flight home delayed for an hour by "paperwork" that needed filing before pushback from the gate.

How do you complain on new mileage plus website
https://pss.united.com/web/en-US/con...ault.aspx?SI=1
I've tried on that link, but I haven't received a reply yet and it's been weeks. I don't even get a confirmation note that they received my complaint.
