Hey all that matters to COdbaUA is ancillary revenue. Gotta sell those TODs to the kettles and constantly improve the Y BOB product! Forget everyone elses loyalty and the premium product (or something).

You can thank COdbaUA for turning the airline into a CC company and bombarding me with a sales pitch everytime i'm transiting thru EWR. Not to mention the "You're in!" stuff. If they gave too many miles away then thats on them - for them to screw over loyal customers who EARNED the miles... Its so warped. Delta SkyPesos are becoming more exciting by the day.

Not going to belabor the utter destruction, but,

Aaron - if I book an award in Jan 2014 and then make changes in Feb or beyond (in routing, airline, origin, destination, etc), will it be repriced according to new mileage reqs. or will I keep the old pricing on that ticket?

Wow, this just gets worse the more I read it.

malgudi Nov 1, 2013 12:35 am

Must be Friday!

Guys, CPU's and RPU's intra-Asia and Northern South America...

yerffej201 Nov 1, 2013 12:36 am

WOW.. that's awful

wethereyet Nov 1, 2013 12:36 am

Anyone suprised? Baggage, miles, PQD, SaverAward/MP Awards all messed with this year.

Next up: Changes to RPU/GPU

Oh well, flying became the least attractive to learn miles a long time ago. Thankfully for all its award chart crap Delta still has partners that have plenty of award space.

Wow. Unbelievable! I think it's some sort of a Halloween scary joke. It better be :mad: Today I was looking for the last straw to jump to AA or AS, and here comes a whole tree!

US-EU in biz went from 50k to either 57.5 (UA) or 7:eek: (partner). That last one is a 40% raise.

I could understand a few miles but when it's 40-64%+ then I guess it's "flyer friendly."

Thanks UAInsider for the heads up. Kudos UA, leading the way for once.
