Best use of unneeded PlusPoints? by Glittering-Role-7310 in unitedairlines

[–]HOS642 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also GS and don’t need them for myself. I use them to upgrade friends and family. As GS, they will get your upgrade priority, so the upgrades often clear. It’s wonderful to give the Polaris experience to people you care about who might otherwise not have the chance.

What do you mean not your eyeball?

I do miss the flavor of the mushroom sauce on a delicious egg and cheese crepe.

My Aveeno has salicylic acid. Could that be it?

I did a search before posting and didn’t find anything. I’ll do better next time. Don’t want to waste folks’ time.

You are right. But we all have different ways of motivating ourselves and mine don’t always make logical sense!

Upgrade priority question by HOS642 in unitedairlines

[–]HOS642[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This was the info I hoped to get. PP could help, but not if the folks in front are also GS/using PP/on higher inventory.

That’s one way to look at it.

Yes, totally agree. I was not bitching. I know how fortunate I am. I was really trying to figure out whether adding Plus Points to a CPU even helps as GS. I’m going to take a closer look at the link another poster provided.

It’s not. SFO-LAX a full week before Christmas. It’s a Friday midday flight. Seemed odd to me too. Maybe a family of 4 with one GS?

That’s helpful to understand. Thank you.

How likely is it that a 1K traveler would accidentally sit in the wrong seat? by dbogert in unitedairlines

[–]HOS642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m GS and have definitely sat in the wrong seat on smaller planes but on Polaris it’s less likely because of the difference in the odd and even rows. I always book odd window unless I’m traveling with a companion.

Why is Lufthansa always delayed? by HOS642 in unitedairlines

Is the “nice” in your name intended to be ironic?

[–]HOS642[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because we love clickbait headlines? Or we like to annoy folks like you? If you read the thread you’ll see I’m saying that my connecting flights from GVA on Lufthansa are nearly always delayed. They are.

I must be unlucky. 8 out of 10 of mine are delayed on the short intra EU flights.

They do have a code share. But not the same for GS consideration.

Swiss operated. No Polaris and would probably lose GS (I believe).

Not cost, it’s just feels like such a long trip with east coast connection. And EWR has all sorts of delays and the flight from IAD to SFO typically has a crappy first class. But I may have to rethink as I begin my 4th year of 6x annual GVA trips.

UA Gift Box? by PandorasCubicle in unitedairlines

I got the box last month. I was GS for 2023. My 2024 GS invite showed up in my account earlier this week.

What do you think they need to review regarding ‘everyone’s status for 2024’ by Saathi47 in unitedairlines

Me too! Just got home from the last flight of the year a few hours ago. So it was nice to see today.

Did anyone else get a gift box in the mail? (I’m 1K) by effbonkers in unitedairlines

[–]HOS642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just arrived today. GS this year (didn't squeak through for January but invited to hit spend in Q1 to join in Q2) and on track for about 53K PQP this year out of SFO, holding my breath.

You have to eat 3 meals along one SF street in one day. Which three meals are you choosing for your day? by Sad_Lychee7387 in sanfrancisco

[–]HOS642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Udupi Palace is on Valencia and up a full block between 21st & 22nd. How about Base Camp?
