THANKS NETZIH!!

I am still looking for data points as to whether people skipping the flight to YYZ will get partner credit. I believe the earliest flights available in this deal were in November (although if I'm wrong and people were already able to take some of those flights, please correct me), so I assume we'll have to wait until mid-to-late November for the brave individuals who chance it to educate the rest of us.

1) Don't credit your miles to United. There have been many reports of United miles being clawed!

Has anyone taken the flight yet? If yes please share the details

I know a family that flew last week Wed, (Nov 6) with stop in Switzerland, and they were very happy with the service. Flight and connections went smoothly even though connection time frames were very short. Service was great, though kosher food was an issue, hashgacha was OU which they do not eat. Be aware
We are flying be"h Nov 17th, will try to update my experience.

1. All imported ingredients are not necessarily OU, I don't know market share for OK, but I'm sure it's significant.
2. Even if people drink OU orange juice, doesn't mean they'll eat OU chicken/meat.

Can we focus on the topic of this forum- I am interested to know IF freq flier points have been posted despite USAirways threat not to credit those who do not complete all legs of the trip.  Move your kashrut debate to another forum.  Unless you are looking for an opinion from the USAirwaysisher Rav.

IIRC Bolt bus goes from Philly. I think that works that first ticket bought is ~$1 and more tix sold more $ the next tix is.

Bolt bus co has a route from Philly to NYC. I dunno where they start the route from but you are dropped of in midtown Manhattan.

Some (all?) of their routes start at $1. as more tix are purchased the price goes up. The price you pay depends on how many ppl bought a tix for the same day and route before you did.

With the merger apparently going through in December, do we have a timetable when you will no longer be able to credit the flights to Star Alliance partners? I am flying in late January and my Aegean ff# is on the reservation already. I would love to get the mileage necessary to earn Aegean gold status, but am now uncertain as to whether it will credit properly.
Does anyone here have any thought on this?
