Is this trick also explained at the seminars?

That trick works only for 1K customers, don't think you can pull that off even with the Jedi mind trick (btw, heard jedi mind for the first time today).

Seriosly? Since when is that a requirement?

It always used to bring up non stop flights first if there were any.
Just tap stops to sort it with non-stop first.

Generally when you learn a new vocab word you start hearing it right away. It just didn't process when you heard it before.
Same goes for expressions.

Search IAH-LAX alone and see what it shows.

Bingo!!







But if it's not showing available married in the fare buckets, why does it show as an option to book?

Awards don't always require married space.

Can I transfer miles from DW account to mine? My problem is that I have a United card, DW does not (any longer). There are some legs that only show XN availability. I don't have enough URs at the moment to purchase all (4) tickets, I would really need the miles that are in DW account.

Yes, but it's not free.

How can I really tell if the system recognises me as logged in. When I hoover over my miles, there is an expiration date. On the old site it used to mention that as a cardholer, miles dont expire.
does the new site say that as well for cardholders?

Yes.

Can you see XN availability when searching for a flight?
