Tips, Tricks, and Travel with Lucky
Well, despite the pending tropical storm and travel waivers, I just booked a mileage run for this coming weekend, only three days out! I love the L fare from TPA-SEA that UA publishes, given that it only has a three day advance purchase requirement. That’s great since UA seems to open up a bunch of [...]

I’m sure just about everyone received this email today:
Dear Mr. Lucky,
Thank you for your direct, candid feedback on the test we had planned to launch in the fourth quarter for food choices on some of our flights. We heard you and have decided not to move forward with the test of offering customers buy-on-board options [...]

My friend Ryan just pointed out to me that the united.com meal page, which previously had the blurb about about IAD-Europe flights being buy on board, no longer mentions that. Now it once again says that “We serve complimentary meals on most international flights between the United States, South America, Europe, South Pacific and Asia,” [...]

Usually my travel goals don’t require too much planning since I easily hit the thresholds I want and I just stop there. This year is different. With increased travel and the double elite qualifying miles (EQM) promotion earlier in the year, I’m sitting at 155,000 EQM’s already, with two trips booked bringing me to 170,000 [...]

Thanks to FlyerTalker flygirl94 for posting a link to this video on FlyerTalk. On one hand it’s absolutely hilarious, but at the same time it’s largely true and sad.

Employee Open House, aka Fleet Week is usually only open to employees and their friends/family, but this year an invitation has been extended to a limited number of FlyerTalkers. For all of [...]

In a notice to the flight attendants’ union, United said it’s offering voluntary furloughs of six to 21 months starting Oct. 31 and hasn’t announced layoffs.
“As we reduce the size of our fleet and [...]

Here’s an experience a friend/reader emailed to me last week, and it was so refreshing to read on so many levels. While it might be long, trust me, it’s worth every word and says so much about what’s possible with a positive attitude.
Ben,
I never expected this to get this long, but I suppose this is what happens when you [...]

Since I’m moving nearly three hours from the nearest UA station tomorrow (going back to school), I figured it was time to do some airport ticketing. I have a bunch of vouchers sitting around and had some travel to plan, so spent last night putting a few tickets on hold, which I ticketed at the [...]
