So if you need to change your destination, does someone have to drive out to the depot and sign for you?

Look at it this way--you'll get door to door pick up and delivery at no extra charge!

And UPS's tracking is better than Easy Update

Will there be meal service or does a passenger just root around in the Harry & David or Hickory Farms boxes for their own meal?

Ugh. Are we going to open an FT forum called "Package Run"?

Let me guess some of the topics:

1) Bumped from UPS flight by Buy.com package with 1K status.

2) NRSA UPS packages ruining my premium cabin (aka pressurized cabin) experience.

3) When will UPS upgrade their A300 cabins?

4) Award availablilty impossible on FedEx. Shame on UA!

5) SQ Cargo to utilize LD3 containers. Will UA follow?

6) "Fill in the Blank FT Troll" thinks that 3 cabin UPS service (aka UPS Air, UPS Ground, and UPS Hundredweight) a shame compared to AA!

7) Why doesn't UA fly LAX - HKG?

I think the inside term for pax is "self loading cargo". You probably would not notice much difference.

Of course, I'd want to fly as a pax and not cargo!

I have decided to skip the UPS leg and hold out for an ABX Flight.


........I booked my UA/UPS flight. I just assume that the UPS flight will be more comfortable that then aircraft AC uses between PVD and YYZ on those horrible BEH aircraft.
