R.I.P. United Airlines Mileage Plus numbers, OnePass numbers prevail
I’m saddened by the confirmation today that United Airlines will use OnePass numbers, but understand since Continental’s reservations system, SHARES, is winning out in the merger.

Upgraded, downgraded and well compensated yesterday flying United Airlines

Next up will be San Francisco on August…

Ben over at One Mile at a Time gave many of us quite a shock last night when he posted details of the Mileage Plus program rumored to begin in 2012. Here’s a summary of what he learned: As for upgrade priority, the all mighty fare value on each segment will be the primary metric…
My travel experiences flying American Airlines vs. United Airlines
I’ve now taken a dozen domestic American Airlines flights since the end of May in both first class and coach and offer my opinions below as compared to my 62 flights on United Airlines this year. I’m a top-tier elite in Mileage Plus with United and only just Saturday rolled over to Platinum in AAdvantage…
United Airlines Red Carpet Club survey
Yesterday I received an email inviting me to “share your opinions about being a Red Carpet Club member,†as it was so titled. Fantastic, I thought, that United Airlines wants feedback from current RCC members and I was hoping to give some praise and criticism since I figured they’re gathering direct input for the eventual…
