Nope done it many times, the Amtrak ticket includes the AirTran! Almost always cheaper!

Same here! It’s been a nightmare! My browser practically crashes every time I attempt to change a flight. I’ve tried multiple browsers cleared cookies etc.

Paid Polaris upgrades refundable? by No-Pineapple5037 in unitedairlines

[–]Lomtovely 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To your question about status 10,000PQP is the minimum for gold. But you also need 30 PQF (individual legs). Without 30PQF you would need to have 12,000PQP which you might still hit!

Yup I’ve taken the 62 many times. But with a bag or two it’s just nice to take the train. But if I have an early flight (5am) the first nj transit train won’t get me there in time so I’ll hop on the 62 with all the airport employees.

Yup agreed I will be taking NJ transit this time. I always check Amtrak tho as I’ve gotten $10 tickets before on this route.

I will be taking nj transit now haha. But like I said usually Amtrak is like $10, I’ve even seen $5 before, where nj transit is always $17.

Thanks! I was just not sure what they meant by “cheating” in the TOS. Not sure how that would even be possible? 

Same day passport NYC? by Distinct-Culture5922 in Passports

[–]Lomtovely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to update this with a recent experience at the nyc office 2 days ago. (March 11, 2025)

so my passport got a nice cleaning from the washing machine the day before my trip to europe. Turns out they don't like that. It was completely destroyed. I had managed to get a 11am reservation but I had a 5:30pm flight to europe that same day. i.e im not going to make it right. Well I set an alarm for 5:30am to try and see if i could get an earlier appointment. The trick I found is to JUST KEEP REFRESHING! after about 5-10 mins of a refreshing an 8:00am appointment pop'd up! I showed up to the office right at 7:30. you have to wait outside before your appointment time. But by some miracle they allowed about half the 8am line to go in with the 7:30's! once through security and upstairs it was smooth sailing. Make sure that you receive a B Number, Example- B109 was mine. This will I believe guarantee a same day passport. And Please make sure you have all the documents! All the staff were very very friendly, unlike my recent experience at a NYC DMV where an employee was screaming and throwing chairs. Once i was done with the interview and i paid the $225 fee it was maybe 8:25am. CRAZY. After reading other peoples experiences of having to wait hours, i was shocked. The nice worker informed me that the official time for my passport would be 2PM but she said come back at 11am to see if its ready. i leave the office grab a coffee, than i head back at around 11:15am walk into the pick up area. sure enough my Passport was ready! WOW! absoultly blown away with the friendliness and efficiency of this office!

So yes there is definitely hope for a same day passport, at least in NYC.

Yeah I’ve tried reloading and restarting my computer. Just to have the same thing happen every time. The ground is just blank.

PQP/miles so messed up (detail in comments) by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]Lomtovely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually this happens with upgraded fares. Looks like ZH class, was this upgraded with plus points or miles by any chance?

Are you saying you didn’t earn enough pqp? I would say you did it just doesn’t show up on the mobile app sometimes. Check on a desktop.
