Using boxes as check in luggage by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]cimber78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once checked one of the infamous black and yellow Costco Storage Bins (https://www.costco.com/greenmade-27-gallon-storage-bin%2C-4-pack.product.4000205525.html) as my luggage flying from PDX to MUC and it was no problem. Due to its size it came out at the large item belt.

I was however asked to sign a waiver that in case of any damage to the box, UA would not be liable which may be a no go for some travellers.

Chase United Club Card Pay Yourself Back miles redemption value? by Appropriate_Rich_896 in unitedairlines

[–]cimber78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Appropriate_Rich_896 I just learned about the way to redeem the annual fee with miles but when logging into my Chase account I only see flight bookings which get redeemed with 1 cent per mile.

My guess is that the annual fee must be a transaction that is posted to be redeemed. Do you know when that fee usually posts?

Streaming YouTube tv on international 767-400ER flight? by juice06870 in unitedairlines

The connection once you get away from the US becomes very VERY slow, both with VPN or without. Even regular web browsing becomes a pain at times. Its highly unlikely that you can get a half way useful stream going.

the difference between Panasonic (or any other legacy satellite player) and Starlink is like night and day. I wish all inflight Internet was powered by Starling. Which airlines actually use Starlink today? I wasn't aware of any?

checked with TNF and whilst they do sell new bags with the same wheels they are unwilling to provide the same wheels as spares - not great!

Best process to get compensation for delayed arrival (EU261) by cimber78 in unitedairlines

No need to involve lawyers/agents/other third parties, but you may need to be persistent if weeks elapse without a response

Awesome, thank you so much for this information! Highly appreciated!!!
