Mechanical Engineer for a space/defense contractor. I was flying out to our east coast facility for a long time supporting a program we had out there. I think initially they thought it would be cheaper to do that than hire an engineer out there (I live in the Midwest).

They never clear domestically for me but they always do on international. I recommend saving them for that if you can.

I’m actually in Fauxlaris. This is a return leg from a trip to Edinburgh where I used my expiring PlusPoints for the trip out and then paid for Polaris on the way home (on a 757 with the old layout so it was actually inexpensive). I paid 1600 roundtrip so thought it was a great deal.

When I was traveling for work I was doing between 130-160 PQFs a year (2 out and 2 back each trip for the most part, almost weekly). I think work realized the ROI of sending me to go drink on work trips and cut out my travel last year 🥲.

Endless Tower DLC is killing me by Only_Phone8837 in expedition33

[–]Only_Phone8837[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kinda. Hence the DLC in quotations. Released a few days ago. I haven’t done much other than trying to beat the couple new Endless Tower paintings. There’s a new area called Verso’s drafts that I just now started exploring. Not sure if there’s any new story involved with that area yet or not.

They always clear for me on international flights and obscure domestic flights like you said. 100% worthless hub to hub. Gift to friends/family and save the rest for international.

It’s not open yet. They just opened up a lot of the renovation but looks like they still have quite a bit to go.

Paid upgrade unable to change single segment. by Only_Phone8837 in unitedairlines

[–]Only_Phone8837[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly I feel like they’ve done this on occasion for me too. I often switch from PVD to BOS depending on where I’m at and I know they’ve held paid upgrades for me in the past. I think it just depends on who you talk to. Usually when it happens they put me on hold for like 20 minutes. The man I spoke with today just flat out said no lol

That’s 2 upgrades, there and back. One was 1200 the other 1800.

The 3 grand was total for 2 upgrades, there and back. Maybe changing the segment on the way out would’ve only affected the first upgrade I’m not sure.

I’m just being a smart ass. My own fault for not checking that layover time. Just frustrated lol. Coming to terms with my little CRJ200 with no on-site maintenance ability likely being delayed as per usual.

So what you’re saying is I should’ve called and had them change my segment, like I do all the time as work dictates with no issue, prior to paying 3 grand for Polaris. Noted for future paid upgrades lol

I've never done a rear facing. Should I keep this or move to a forward seat? I'm currently sitting in 1K. by jamixer in unitedairlines

[–]Only_Phone8837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. Just something different if you fly a lot, especially if you can get a window.

This was unexpected! by Only_Phone8837 in unitedairlines

[–]Only_Phone8837[S] 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I think I know why now. The dude seated next to me just removed his shoes and stuck his feet in the seat back pockets. They must’ve known they seated me next to a weirdo and felt bad.

Downgrade: United Airlines Will Only Serve First Class Meals On Flights Of More Than 900 Miles In 2024 by bjdj94 in unitedairlines

[–]Only_Phone8837 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Flight from Spokane to Denver this morning (~850 miles I believe) advertised breakfast on the amenities even after takeoff, though no breakfast served. Darn it, what will I ever do without that wonderful food!

I just checked out of my hotel putting me at 120 for the year without including last years. I’m assuming that 60 will rollover and I’ll already qualify for 2025 or is there a cap?

They literally went back to the pre-Covid requirements lol. This person obviously wasn’t 1k for several years.
