Great deal for the UK'ers. I wish UA did it for the Aussies too. Should be a lot more than 30K RDM. SYD-SFO-LHR roundtrip is 25k RDM so it should be at least 50K as a 1P/1K.

Although there will not be anymore e500s added to my account balance, as the existing e500s expire, they will be converted...

Domestic fares are filed to airports, not cities. DCA and IAD have unique fare structures that have most fares airport specific (written into the rules) and as such fares from one are not valid at the other.

You can call and have them link your PNR's so that when you check in, the agent might not have to do anything special

Good Lord, for decades airline meals have been the butt of jokes among comics and passengers. Some on this board have even switched allegiances because of that "delicious" cheeseburger in Continental Y. Now all of a sudden, people want it. If I'm going to pay less for my...

Quote: Originally Posted by ORDnHKG 1st flight I know one option is defiantely a salad just like ICN-NRT, as it is about the same length as PEK-NRT. 2nd flight NRT-HNL even though the flight time is short (only a little less than NRT-SEA), it is still treated as long haul international, full int'F service and meal. I would never fly or suggest PEK-ORD-HNL even you can rack up some miles, as ORD-HNL on the 2 class 777 F is awful. 8 hours...

Not sure what rock you've been under, but TED no longer exists and you now get a full can of soda on TED planes. You need to get your facts straight. First of all, UA no longer serves FLL. The OP said he missed UA out of FLL. When UA was still serving FLL, it was served by TED, so the OP missed the old service, which was TED. So if I were under...
