I got a UA voucher as compensation. The T&C say it can only be used for booking made with my UA mileage account. Is there anyway around that ?

What's the story with the EWR-LAX route? Is it now officially PS? Why can't I select a KSML online for J? Is it offered?

You can't select KSML online for any route.

80k
Thx. For some reason I remembered in the back of my head that if the long-haul is on UA then its the UA chart.

That is correct when the second leg is in Y.

I don't know what you're talking about. I just tried. The "special meal request" is there but there are no options when I click on it.

I guess gyazo does not either know what he is talking about, or perhaps you are not logged in to a UA MP account.....

I am not talking about your LAX flight, I am talking in specific if it is possible to book KSML online. Maybe EWR PS is not updated yet..

Tickets were booked with SQ and LH if that makes any difference. But I pulled up the itin while in my MP account.

Gotcha. I also recall being able to select KSML online regardless of what D74 says. Just not coming up here.

Want to book a UA award flight but don't have the points yet (just got approved for the card, should be coming in the mail tomorrow). Is there a way to temporarily have a negative balance? Don't want to lose out on the availability. How long does United let you hold a flight for? It's going to be a OW Plan B ticket if that makes any difference.
