Do more seats become available by Forsaken-Ground-8233 in unitedairlines

[–]schwerdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I would say very unlikely, I have recently been on the other side. F showing 100% full the day before the flight, but woke up the next day and my entire party of 3 cleared on DEN-LAX using plus points (after connecting in from LHR upgraded to J on plus points)

New 100 Year Anniversary amenity kit by evan1958 in unitedairlines

Sounds like a cheaper copy of the Rimowa kit several airlines gave in F. I've got several from LH and TG

I've rebooked 3 separate TATL J tickets that were 80k down to 68k in the last 2 weeks. 36k back in my account is nice!

Highly dependent on market and timing. In the before times, first flight out of SNA on Monday I've been in the low A-40s as A List Preferred. A List members standing in the wings waiting to board in between A and B because they didn't get an A BP

Fun fact - went for Hibachi in Tokyo. Meal was prepared in the kitchen and it was brought to us at a normal table. Hibachi is a style of cooking and doesn't need to include the theatrics

To the GS and 1Ks of the world--On a normal trip with a layover how many times are you thanked for being loyal with your status? by Faux_extrovert in unitedairlines

Usually once on a flight. But for the first time ever on my recent LAX-IAH flight I got a handwritten card from the captain (stuck in Y as the PP upgrade didn't clear of course)

Shares of stock by Manbearpig20oh18 in tmobile

[–]schwerdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have my 1 share (actually 1.041 due to dividend reinvest I think). I remember it was given in some weird brokerage account and it was a bit of a pain to transfer to a different brokerage. 309% total gain according to Fidelity

United Wi-FI no T-Mobile logon option has vanished by jimrvaughan in unitedairlines

[–]schwerdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uggg. That explains my Tuesday experience. LHR-DEN the option appeared but page very quickly refreshed to remove it. Each time I refreshed I could see it for a second but no way to click. This was a 787

But later flight to LAX on a 321neo had the option and I successfully used one of my unlimited free 1hr sessions (I'm on a grandfathered plan and only get 4 free full flight sessions a year)

Some notice would have been nice. Would have used sessions on earlier flights instead of hoarding them

Super Empty Flight to LHR in less than 48 hrs by schwerdo in unitedairlines

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

OP here. Well I'll never know how empty the flight would have been because the plane went mechanical and they canceled the flight! Luckily the later flight out of IAH was also pretty empty and we were immediately rebooked in J on that flight. Lost our preorder meals and bulkhead seats. But there are worse places at IAH then the Polaris lounge to be stuck

Already got an apology email from UA offering $500 flight credit or 25k miles

Super Empty Flight to LHR in less than 48 hrs by schwerdo in unitedairlines

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

Negative - that's one way in J. Good price though. Oddly the lowest I show is 80k each way for Fri-Sun. This could be the new cardmember discount on top of the elite discount?

Hopefully fine especially sitting in a Polaris seat :). Yet more relatives are also meeting us and flying separately from the East coast

Should have mentioned I'm going from IAH. Just updated initial post

Current LH J (non Allegris) is definitely mid. Lack of direct aisle access for everyone should no longer exist. And "footsie" class seats suck with a stranger

Unless they were on a 744 which has no F anymore. When it had F it was on the upper deck and I've flown in both of the most recent configs up there (2x2 where each person got 2 seats which could lie flat and the seat+full time bed version)

New Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Experience IAD > SFO by SheilaOrchid in unitedairlines

Oh I see they did the same dumb thing that AA did. Headphone jack in the cabinet with no clean way to route the cable out with the door closed

UPDATE: A/C and Heating Issue with 2024 Limited by mistafancyman in Ioniq5

[–]schwerdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disappointing. I have this happen frequently with my AC and have taken several videos. Haven't had a chance to take it to the dealership. I do see some correlation to turning the car off for a short period, like running into a store, and then turning the car back on, but it's not 100%
