It's not lie-flat. Just wondering about the quality in general.

I flew about a year ago first class flat bed united NYC-LAX

If it is a orange box its a bit wider seat, if its a cone shape its a bed.

I have some questions about United but not exactly about award booking but this is the only thread for United so I will post here.

1) If someone has elite status can he book me a economy ticket through his account and I will get economy plus free?
2) If he books me an expensive economy class ticket can I get J for free?
3) If these benefits are only if he is flying and I am a companion on his ticket,can he book for himself too and get me upgraded and then can he cancel out?

4) Is there any tricks getting elite status on UA, like I know someone that got PL with elal without flying and paying for it? (please PM me)

Thanks

What part are you quoting me?
Number 4 for the PM?
Because I don't think anyone will want to publicize it.

Nevertheless, can someone also fill me in?

what is there to explain? When you cancel a ticket after 24 hours you have to pay a penalty.

Yup.

Any reason United is pricing this as two separate awards?

FlyFirst · « **Reply #2611 on:** May 13, 2015, 10:33:38 AM »

On the phone they should be able make it as one award ticket.

On the web will only show same day, if there are flights

I pieced it together via multi destination and got this pricing. I can always call.

The first one. That card doesn't help.
