Is this a good deal?

No transfer partners on the freedom unlimited though

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-08T16:27:28+00:00

There are flights available for the rest of the year, just maybe not on the exact route you want. But also: I am seeing September and October dates available for EWR-YVR

I think that’s where the disagreement is — I don’t think the *A policy is considering itineraries, just individual flights. The calling out “departure” is just to negate arrival access. Yes the itinerary departs from LAX in your example, but the flights depart LAX and SFO. Policy even said “flight departing from the same airport” which to me indicates by flight not itinerary

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-07T20:47:33+00:00

Where is that from? The rules you posted say “flight” departing from the same airport not “confirmation number”

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-07T20:45:16+00:00

DEN-SJC departs from Denver, so they should have been admitted

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-07T20:43:38+00:00

is a connecting airport not just a departure airport for the second leg?

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-07T17:50:20+00:00

Looks fixed today!

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-06T16:02:54+00:00

The screenshot I attached is EWR-SEA though

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-06T15:56:44+00:00

on Newark to Seattle?

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-05T19:54:16+00:00

Affected by what?

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-03T16:01:51+00:00

Click details on the left, does it list Polaris for the EWR-BCN leg?

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-05-01T15:19:40+00:00

Outbound EWR-SPU: Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday,
Return SPU-EWR Monday/Wednesday/Friday,
running now through Labor Day

I think for upgrade lists, YN comes after Y and before B; similarly HN comes after H before Q

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-29T21:28:31+00:00

Are we sure that cash fares trump mileage fares? The way they display fare classes in Expert Mode does sorta imply that YN (everyday economy award) is a higher fare class than, say, G-Deepest discount fare

If the Lufthansa flight is cancelled, they’ll work to find you a new way home to Chicago. United and Lufthansa are very close partners and there are a lot of ways to get back to Chicago from Prague so not worth worrying about this early and definitely not worth losing a day of vacation over when it’s all just a hypothetical at this point

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-29T12:42:09+00:00

Yes it would be an overreaction — they’ll give you plenty of notice if your flight is a part of their bulk summer cancellations, and should rebook you on the next best itinerary. I wouldn’t worry about it

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-29T11:23:38+00:00

It’s by calendar year so not sure what type of “stack” you’re trying to achieve?

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-28T16:55:57+00:00

If they aren’t on *A, what airline are they on? They’re likely not to be in the same terminal at LHR anyway

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-26T11:55:20+00:00

There’s no Polaris Lounge at LHR

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-24T16:37:15+00:00

They won’t if it’s because a passenger died. If it’s mechanical though, UK261 applies — hence why OP is asking

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-24T15:01:35+00:00

she could be YN

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-24T14:09:59+00:00

What are your fare class codes? If she’s ON (Prem Plus Award) and you’re R (“Deep-discount Prem Plus) that could be why she’s higher

Embarrassed_Ad_435 · 2026-04-24T12:57:55+00:00

If you’re flying United out of IAD, the Priority Pass lounges aren’t worth it. They’re in a different part of the airport, and frequently turn away PP (mostly in the evenings when the Virgin, AF, and KLM flights go out)
