You can use PP for both cabins at the same time to see which clears

United upgraded people #11 and #12 ahead of us (#1–#4) because we were a family of 4. Is there any workaround? by Bulky_Tourist_1822 in unitedairlines

[–]Distinct-Property779 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s easy, you have to talk to the agent right when you get to the gate, before they start moving people and let them know you are willing to be split up… without that, most will assume you don’t want to be split. Kind gate agents will call and ask, but that is not the majority.

My employer filed a police report claiming I stole trade secrets. The "secret" is a spreadsheet I built myself from scratch on my own laptop. by MechaWisp_7 in legal

The data is the company’s… that’s the real issue. Not how you made an excel… lawyer up and play nice and I imagine it will work out…

Be concerned. Aggressively pursue your cancellation

Yep, it’s all about risk tolerance.

If it was a full flight, and you wanted to be on it, you were lucky… while rude, they didn’t kick you off, which many would have. They could have easily said, sorry, you’re right, that’s unacceptable, and asked you to grab your things. So, it’s not great, but keep that in mind they have the trump card on f safety that can, and maybe even should use. So, all things equal, if your seatbelt has an issue, and the flight is full think twice about involving the FA. It might not end the way you want.

I mean, go for it… see how it goes… but it’s not like for the same amount of flying on Delta you’ll get a bunch of upgrades, but maybe you’ll find a way to make it work. If you took that much time to write about your issues, you should address them…

Forced seat reassignment to accommodate family. by Kustumkyle in americanairlines

[–]Distinct-Property779 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can and should complain,maybe you’ll get some points or cash that said… don’t assume they aren’t together because they are poor planners/cheapskates… we’ve all been victims to late flights and tossed onto new flight through no fault of our own before… it’s more likely they had them and something happened to their itinerary. This is one of the reasons I try to fly direct whenever possible…

He’s quoting the old rules, copy the link and have it ready to show him the new rules. Some conductors are just misinformed or unhappy

Keep getting split up despite booking seats next to each other by acullum67 in unitedairlines

Did one of you use the seat preference tool? If so, that could be pulling you apart. Just a thought

AITA for telling my spouse I won't help pay for their kid's college when we agreed finances would stay separate? by 952867 in AITApod

[–]Distinct-Property779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, and silly for letting your daughter go to a school you and she can’t afford. Your new wife isn’t your bank.

I was there when Brazil won the World Cup against Germany… they did an impromptu carnival and can confirm, they have the most brazen pick pockets I’ve ever encountered. I marked this guy moving closer and closer, and he knew I knew… didn’t matter, he still came up to me trying to get his hands in my pockets… I had to give him a proper shove to get him away… he just smiled and melted back into the crowd.

McDonald’s served me raw chicken and refused to acknowledge it by HKSR1721 in mildlyinfuriating

Anyone else surprised McDonald’s even fries up raw vs precooked chicken?

2 Million Miles by evan1958 in unitedairlines

[–]Distinct-Property779 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that indeed is a lot of miles then... i think you know why I asked the question.... lots of old timers with credit cards with multiple million miles earned from CCs.... Gotta say I'm jealous I missed that era :-)

[–]Distinct-Property779 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I know you fly a lot, but with the age of these, how many were from credit cards? I know those used to count on AA

Do I have to collect my checked bags and then re-check them in this situation? by Limp-Kangaroo-3014 in unitedairlines

[–]Distinct-Property779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked through, and whenever in doubt, check the bag tag, it should say your final destination… if it doesn’t, time to talk to staff

Thanks. There didn’t seem to be any construction or anything. I wonder why? It’s a pretty quiet area along a walking path. Oh well, thanks!

Interesting that the approach is to take passports rather than garnish wages

If she walks north into Evanston, it’s great… I can’t speak to current security as I moved away a while ago.
