what would you take? (miles dont expire and money expires in one year....)

Sure you could take either voucher and try to sell it, but If I didn't have any BA travel planned, I'd take the miles.

ok. why?
Because they will be useful toward an award ticket. 4500 BA miles is one way short haul. $100 is not getting you that!
Assuming BA because of AJK

I just got an email from United that they will deposit 2,000 miles in my account in compensation for not having kosher meals in Business class from ZRH to EWR. That really sucks is there anything I can do to get something of greater value?

thanks. Plan on learning a lot. so far, i've learned to save my receipts. One step at a time.
Thailand is a bit far for me. I've done Australia, Israel, England, Mexico, and the Caribbean, but Asia will not come before Greece, S. Africa, & Hawaii.

Yes. Awesome place. Especially Sydney. They delivered your luggage to you? Or you just couldn't 'locate' it at the baggage claim?

My flight on UA from ORD to PVG got diverted to SFO to pick up a pilot (they claimed our pilot got injured). Instead of landing at 2, I landed at 8, which made me miss two important meetings in Shanghai. During the flight to PVG they emailed me that they will give me $300, I emailed them what the delayed flight cussed...

Should I try again? If yes by email or by phone?
