+1. Last I was there they didn't stamp (or even stop you from just walking in. Now they have a new border facility so that may be different.
No they still don't stamp, and the wait time was nearly 10 minutes.
My signature is worth more than that.

Quite the trip without the family (though I really shouldn't be the one to mention that) ;) Sounds like it'll be awesome!

Several :D
I booked just one-way EWR-BOO online and just kept on adding various segments that only had married availability until I hit brick walls and did a few HUCAs. Got some amazing agents along the way to really push the system. Maybe I should sell the call recordings, trick is to get them excited about the trip and on your side :)

It's amazing what some UA reps can actually pull off, or better said - what you can get some UA reps to pull off :)

Nice job :)

lol, quite right.
Trick is to split the bucket list to places my wife wants to go and places she has zero interest in going to.
Island Hopper and freezing Norway are firmly in the latter.

At one point I had a rep convinced she should non-rev and meet up with us in LKN :D

The only reason I flew UA154 is because of her flight # W-O-R-K.

Otherwise, I would have bounced you for her
