I've had some struggles with recent travels on United, but (knock on wood) I'm pleased to report my last few trips have been smooth. My trip back home this week from Philadelphia was about as good as can be for a domestic short haul trip.

I had to extend my trip a few days, and I was somewhat hoping to use same day change to change my return, but I waited too long, and at least partially due to a very low fare ...
Booking complicated United Award trips have become increasingly more difficult via United.com. I found, from my own experience last week, that United.com would often times tell me that saver space tickets were not available if the ticket required more than 2 stops. However, due to my advance knowledge of United Award rules, and of course some help and double checking from Matt, I was able to book an amazing get away to Europe.

These two segments were part of a larger journey from Seattle to Manila last October that my friend B and I booked, as it would allow the ...
If everything goes as planned, next week I will be flying on the recently grounded but finally flying Boeing 787 Dreamliner! While planning a get away, using miles, I noticed that next week United's 787 will be making revenue test runs between Denver and Houston, Houston and Chicago, and Los Angeles and Houston. This is sooner than May 31st, the day Rohan had stated United would relaunch domestic operations and the best part is there is TONS of award space open on these flights! So I'm flying ...
Unfortunately, I've been on quite a run of delayed flights lately. I've had business trips several weeks in a row, and each trip had some significant delays. I summarized them in these posts: Delayed from Philadelphia, delayed into Las Vegas, and Los Angeles delays.
Flight status of my outbound flight. Another mechanical...
