Round two: My problems redeeming a United Airlines e-certificate
I previously posted about my issues trying to redeem a United Airlines customer appreciation certificate and I spent another 45 minutes on the phone with United last night for round two (really three). Here’s a recap of what happened prior to my call: The certificate wasn’t recognized when I tried making a booking online. During…
Mileage Run Opportunity: $208.80 nets 6,712 United PQMs SAN-SFO-CLE-MCI r/t
Well Kansas City here we come again! Both United and Delta have a $79 base fare out in the San Diego to Kansas City market tonight – no love for American. The fare is valid now through the end-of-schedule, but as you can imagine, there is basically no inventory available on this particular routing during…
Did you take the United Club coffee survey?
This ranks enormously low in the grand scheme of things the new United needs to be tackling right now, but have you come across the coffee survey in United’s clubs the past few months? It looks like it comes directly from the manufacturer and isn’t particularly linked to United besides bearing the “Club†logo on…
United’s routes, Envoy Class upgrades, Virgin to Philly, Allegiant’s carry-on fee and more airline & travel news
In other airline, hotel and travel industry news last week… United Airlines shifted its Washington Dulles to Buenos Aires flight over to Newark on Friday.

It’s time for another Vintage Airline Seat Map and I’ve selected a United Airlines Boeing 767-200 seen flying the skies in 1987. I have a United seating guide from 1979 that listed the planned configuration for the 767-200 as being 24 in First and 173 in coach once it was delivered in 1982, so this…

There have been quite a few new bonus mile opportunities released by both American and United that I’m just now catching up on. Here’s a summary of some of them: American Airlines BOS-NRT: In celebration of the new nonstop service on Japan Airlines between Boston and Tokyo Narita, earn double redeemable miles every time you…
My problems redeeming a United Airlines e-certificate
I may have spoken too soon regarding my smooth sailing with the United Airlines system changeover. Earlier this week, I tried to redeem an e-cert (customer appreciation certificate) online for a new booking and received an error message that the cert couldn’t be found. I called United and the agent asked me to build a…
Whacky United Airlines MileagePlus flight postings
I’m certain I’m not the only one noticing issues with how United Airlines flights have been posting to MileagePlus lately. Initially, I was going to remain silent as the errors have been – until now – to my benefit, such as upgraded flights reflecting 150% EQM as if they were paid premium cabins. Now, however,…
Hilarious “Hitler’s Rage” video about United Airlines’ MileagePlus changes
One of my good friends sent me a link to a gut-busting version of the “Hitler’s Rage” video showing how “Hitler” reacts to the 2012 United Airlines MileagePlus program changes. If you understand German it might not be that funny, but the captions are brilliantly written and perfectly timed for a highly entertaining four minutes.…
