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!

Surprising they're not threatening to close entire mileage accounts.
How would that help? I would just attach a dummy ff account (or no ff #)  to the ticket.

Forget a dummy.

Just credit to partner.

i got the email its not spam they obviously realize that people aren't planning on using all the legs of the trit and are not happy about it, why would someone spam you with such a message???

It says if you miss any leg of your flight the entire flight will be canceled - which means you need to keep to the itinerary as planned (you cant catch a flight halfway through, like booked from BOS to Philadelphia and pick up the flight in Philadelphia)

It also says if you dont complete the entire itinerary (you dont take the last leg to Canada) you forfeit  all miles you would have earned on the flight.

There is no way for an airline to charge your card after a flight without authorization!

I am just wondering if they will figure out a way to not give luggage out on the stopover in Philadelphia (on way to Canada), but cant image they ever will be able to
You must take your bags through customs in US.


... I also got the email.

They should offer people to cancel the Toronto leg. That way the could resell the tickets. The are going to be a lot of empty seats on trips to Toronto coming up

They can guess that you're not boarding and sell the ticket.

They should offer an upgrade to return to LGA and recoup some of their losses.

I don't understand why crediting a partner will help. Doesn't US Airways send over the info to that partner to credit the miles?

It seems the only real consequence would be not getting the miles.  I don't think it is monetarily worth it for them to go out of their way to screw you in some other way (if that is even possible).  They are probably hoping that some people will cancel their ticket.  Then again I don't know how comfortable I would be going on a flight with many other people knowing that the airline is pissed at "all of us"

U think they'll let one refund it if it was done with a travel agent?

Maybe you are. But Dan on the main site clearly doesn't think so.

I can't seem to attach a FF# to my reservations online at this point. I imagine that all these reservations are flagged if you call customer service. I clearly remember seeing the possibility to do that earlier. I'm keeping the tickets regardless and not flying the last leg.

As I said
Another point. US will probably close any of their own FF accounts that try to credit these flights to them, as I'm sure they're not going to be happy about this. (That is if you don't take the last leg)

If this is so, what do you think they will do?

Harass you perhaps to discover your intentions and attempt to persuade you to cancel your flight. Not much else they can do.

For those who are considering cancelling for refund

Orbitz sometimes charges fees for flights, if you had a separate charge on your credit card for Orbitz (besides US Air charge) then they may not refund that.

If you had a connecting flight with ELAL will ELAL refund your flight cost ?
