What else should one be worry about? BP?

Not taking any chance so I cashed them in. ;-)

I wounder how bad the small well its my home airport so mid size airport like ABQ is going to handle. Because a lot of the ABQ flights in morning leave around same time frame if I am correct.

It seems from below that it only applies to domestic airlines.

Regarding LY, it has nothing to do with religious exemptions, because the T-27 until T-3 applies for all flights, not just ex-TLV flights, and not just to flights departing right after the Sabbath or Jewish holidays.
The exemption is that for flights departing after Sabbath or Jewish holidays, OLCI (Express Check-In) can be completed before Sabbath/holiday, even if it's more than T-27.

No apologies necessary :)

Hi Shannon, I notice that 2 flights early to mid last month did not post to my
account - an LH flight and an LH codeshare on SA. Rather than disturbing the good folks at UA yet I have wondered if such credits are being held until the system has gone through the migration. Good luck tonight!

Good luck everyone.

It is going to be messy for sure.

AFAIK - every airlines has not been successfully immune from chaos.

uhh ohh
 

Hope you still have your boarding passes...you might be doomed if not

PMUA issued e-certs... how/when can be used?
 

I have a United issued e-cert that expires on 3/26, so I will need to use it very soon. Will it be able to be used on the new united.com? When, and how? ... at the payment page where CO certs can be entered?

Hi Shannon,

On the current UA website, there is a way to exclude yourself from the Complimentary Upgrade List. You can even choose individual segments in which to be excluded. So, if there's only "crappy" F seats remaining on the BOS-ORD part of a BOS-ORD-PHX trip, you can remove yourself from the upgrade list for BOS-ORD but remain on the list for ORD-PHX

Will there be such a capability on the new system?

Thanks.

UAInsider, thank you very much for being here to answer our questions. Can you describe how upgrade priority will work in the new system?

Specifically -

1. If an upgrade clears before the departure management window, what is the priority in relation to: time of booking, status, fare amount, fare class, upgrade instrument type (i.e. miles vs. SWU), and

2. If an upgrade clears within departure management window, what is the priority in relation to: time of check-in, time of booking, status, fare amount, fare class, upgrade instrument type (i.e. miles vs. SWU)

Some additional questions:

a. If there are two PAX on 1 PNR and 1 PAX has low/no status, how does that affect things?

b. Do these rules apply the same to a UA metal vs. a CO metal and same on an itinerary that combines UA and CO metal?

c. Can we now use 1 instrument to book an upgrade on an itinerary that combines UA and CO metal? If one segment clears but the other segment doesn't clear until DM window, does it still work? With the "old" system, this scenario required two instruments.

I'm a long-time UA flyer, but I have noticed some very strange things about CO that concern me greatly -

1. It seems like priority is given based on time of check-in for upgrades within departure management, and this means that a member with no status whatsoever can jump ahead of a 1K/GS just by checking in early.

2. It seems like with CO that the instrument type (miles, UDG, CRU, SWU, etc.) has a much greater role in determining priority than it did with UA.

I'd very much appreciate the most clear and precise answer to these questions so I can plan accordingly.

Good luck with the cut-over!

Mitch

On this we agree.

Back on the topic of this thread... I'm seeing some funkiness with Continental.com now - unable to see history and there's now a new area that is supposed to display MP Historical Data. Also a lot of other data looks to be missing.

Moderator note as to the purpose of this thread.
 

Members, this thread is designed to document and map any cut-over system integration issues so that United knows about them and can reply as time permits and so all our members with travel this weekend can be served better.

Let's please keep the posts to those important integration issues such as website functionality, check-in, seating issues, bag checking, departure and flight issues and related.

In just a few hours, I'll rebuild in its own thread, an interesting but lengthy off-topic discussion here about upgrades, which has been temporarily deleted.

Thanks for your understanding. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.

I have asked my supervisor and they dont know. Somethink that it will be the same process for the old vouchers and the new ones will be CO style ones and thus no need for in person sales.

Hi flyer215, Yes, if the Million Miler is a Global Services (GS) member, the Million Miler companion will receive this status as well.

Hi demkr, my recommendation is to plan to keep your original boarding passes.

Hi FriendlySkies, yes, the ability to redeem these will continue to be supported.

Hi bmvaughn, yes, auto check-in should work for your return.
Hi dmodemd, electronic certificates that were issued by United prior to March 3rd will be able to be used on united.com. You’ll be able to redeem these by entering your 18-digit certificate number (beginning with 1016) in the “Offer Code” box on the home page.

UPDATE
 

Current situation with UA as of 01:30 EST....

Weather impact

"While we do not expect weather to interfere with the cutover process, we expect rain to turn into snow Friday evening around ORD. Therefore, we canceled 65 United Express and 12 mainline segments to minimize "creeping delays" that could extend operations past the start of the quiet period."

Time for me to get some shut eye before flying home....good luck to all tomorrow....

No boarding passes in FRA
 

Last flight out on old system from FRA was ORD. From that point forward, they are planing to do everything manually. Manual boarding card at the departure gate -- they are saying no seat changes, no upgrade processing. Let's hope the new system comes back up!
