Nice. Can you book the ticket in any fare class or only when there is award availability?

I flew UA LAX-JFK last month. The window was broken, and wouldn't open. Do I have room to profit?

Why didn't you ask to be switched to another seat?

Flew AC YYZ-ZRH and didn't have a kosher meal. What's the best I can get for it?

Flew UA EWR-BRU was delayed by 6 1/2 hrs due to weather/maintenance, then cancelled due to maintenance. Was placed on brussels airlines the next day from JFK. However, my bags weren't released, because the missing baggage counter was closed for the night. I was given a choice to either A) come and retrieve my bag from newark in the morning' B) fly the next day without my things,when I arrive in brussels put in a missing bags claim and they will then send the bags to brussels. My bags arrived 2 days  later. Is this a DOT complaint case or should I just write an email complaint to united?

Why not get NKS or use one of your POM meals and have them heat it up for you? Wouldn't that be better than whatever they serve?

True. Also, did Dan get his meal? If not, what was his compensation?

Do you have to buy the POM meals from the actual store in Brooklyn, or do they also sell at other stores?

You get it from POM but they ship.I am pretty sure you do not have to go to the store
