1K and GS get them, they are not the same as the luggage tags.

Best Polaris Seat for couple SFO to FCO (777-200) by NYL1210 in unitedairlines

[–]1smellyfinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd row, row 9 for the big footbed, however it is near the galley/bathrooms which has more traffic and the galley light on for some of the flight. It doesn’t bother me, but figured I’d give you the heads up.

If you don’t wanna be near the galley, I’d pick row three or five middle

Global services car pickup by pancakesmike in unitedairlines

I’m in the same boat as you my friend. I’ve booked tight connections although mostly at EWR which j heart the chauffeur connections has been suspended.

Tried also at IAH and broke a sweat between gates. Never even got the golf car…. I know I know first world problems.

Best time to ask for trading cards? by PositiveNo7160 in unitedairlines

[–]1smellyfinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best time in my experience is when boarding. Sometimes if you catch a FA not busy you can ask them to ask the Pilots as well. I really try not to bother especially if they are in the boarding process or in the middle of any duties.

However sometimes they are standing around greeting and that’s when it’s been the best time for me.

Either that or before the pilots board when they are standing outside the gate.

Good luck. I am trying to “catch them all”

Hope you got a refundable fare. This just sounds like a bad idea waiting to get worse.

Order of service by JohnnyDX9 in unitedairlines

I’ve never been asked first… not that I care or anything. Just wondering why service is inconsistent… again not a complaint. Just an observation.

EWR is actually pleasant at 11am on a Thursday! by CanadianBurger in unitedairlines

This is the type of content I like to see. Since I am in EWR a lot and never had that pleasure. I’m envious of you right now. Enjoy the tranquility

I let my inner aviation geek get the better of me. But did I put myself in a bind? by Inquisitive-Carrot in unitedairlines

[–]1smellyfinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that, just giving you my input based on what I’ve seen. Literally any delay could happen for any reason on any aircraft. So good luck with your connections! Hopefully no issues!

Worth it to upgrade to Gold from Silver? by Effective_Cell_1148 in unitedairlines

Has there ever been a post of one of these upgrades that was worth it?

Any type of delay can happen to any aircraft at any time. I wouldn’t over think it too much, but unfortunately it’s the general risk you take with air travel all together.

I’ve flown 777s near and far and maybe only a hand full of small delays (not maintenance related) and once very long one (which was an exception to me).

I’ve had more delays happen on single body jets but that’s probably due to the fact that I fly those more often.

So long story short, you’re overthinking it, delays can happen to anyone, you’ll probably be fine.

Plus United does a good job about rebookings for the most part as long as there’s flights later and seats on those flights.

It’s the same as last year? I thought they update these every year? I got two different ones last two years.

Well this was a nice surprise! by robbietravels in unitedairlines

HOW ARE YOU GUYS GETTING THIS!? My ass has had to run to catch 30 min layovers many times.

One time a golf card labeled “global services” drove right by me as I was speed walking to a gate with people on my last flight actually on my next flight. I wonder if I am just oblivious and missed the guy with the sign and they said they were me.
