That's what's great about WAP. Quick browsing and just click full version for links.

I was told could only book and fly U S AIR on star alliance up to march 31 by 2  united  csr's-- U S air told me -- march 31 is last day to book --but-- can travel after march 31

on United site -- see many flights on U S Air past march 31 --  Question --since official announcement  last week has anyone been able to ticket a  U S Air flt on united for travel after march 31

usually the U S Air csr are not that knowledgeable -- anyone know anything---- I need to change some tickets but do not want to start if can not book U S Air  after march 31

I have a connecting flight to Poland that the second leg doesn't have availability on business so it doesn't give me the entire flight as an option, only if I do multi city but then they charge me 12500 for the second flight in economy.

Is there a possibility to book the first seg in bz and second in economy witout doing multi?

I don't believe they have extra availability on M&M and it will be a 3 region award (92k in J OW).

See here

United Airlines issued a statement to its customers late Monday providing a schedule for the wind-down of its relationship with US Airways.  US Airways consummated its merger with American Airlines on Monday and will exit its partnership with United as well as its membership in Star Alliance on March 30, 2014.

The Chicago-based airline said it will be “business as usual” until the partnership ends although United appears to have already stopped selling US Airways-operated codeshares. (US Airways also appears to have stopped selling United-operated codeshares.)

All current United tickets issued for travel on US Airways will be honored.  MileagePlus members can book award travel on US Airways using MileagePlus miles through March 30, for any travel dates that are available, including those beyond March 30.

MileagePlus members will continue to earn award miles, Premier qualifying miles, Premier qualifying segments, and Premier qualifying dollars on US Airways flights through March 30.

In addition, United Club members and travelers flying on an international United flight in business or first class can access the US Airways Club through March 30.
