Tips, Tricks, and Travel with Lucky
So let’s fast forward through the rest of the trip for a moment (which I’ll be covering in detail over the next few days) to my EWR experience today. After flying FRA-EWR on Lufthansa I was booked on US from EWR to CLT to TPA, all in First.
I couldn’t figure out what gate my EWR-CLT [...]

Given that US (I’d rather refer to them by their ticker symbol, LCC) started charging for non-alcoholic drinks yesterday, I figured today would be a pretty funny day in the news and on FlyerTalk. Surprisingly enough, most are reporting pretty smooth sailing so far.
One highlight was the pin that flight62 (who I believe is a [...]

OK, let me be bloody honest for a second. I don’t give a flying %&$@ about USAir. I think they’re awful and are destined to be the next down Chapter 7 lane…
That being said, their elimination of elite bonus miles sets an awful precedent. Regardless of whether or not you have any miles in the DM [...]

I’m in utter shock right now. Call me naive, but I never thought I’d see this day. I’m scared. I feel like crawling up in a corner and polishing my elite cards, because this might be the end. I think I need professional help, as I fear I’ll have nightmares after today’s news.

I have such a hard time going through merger articles, I really do. Not necessarily because of the content being discussed, but mainly because all of this idle speculation is starting to annoy me. In the United forum on FlyerTalk I’ve seen reference made probably a hundred times to “what happens to my miles/awards/tickets/status/etc. if United goes [...]

Pilots at US Airways ousted their union, the Air Line Pilots Association, on Thursday, replacing it with an insurgent group, a move that raised further questions about the carrier’s ability to combine operations after its 2005 merger with America West Airlines.

The Flying Critic reports about US’s new “Choice Seats,” and provides an excellent analysis. I recommend checking that out instead of me rehashing what he says, since there’s a lot of other exciting news. The only thing that I think is a bit ridiculous about this policy (beyond what we currently view as ridiculous; remember, [...]
