Dan,

Not to be nosy or anything, but do you have plan B in place when the day comes when we will say "once upon a time we flew for free" when it won't be worth carrying a chase, citi or amex card any longer?!!

No its not the wrong thread, ua is tightening the rope on us by not showing many partner awards, this was followed by the mega devaluation.

Unfortunately they do show Brussels since a while ago. Though I've found dates when there was just one seat available and UA didn't show it when AC and ANA were showing it.
