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!

Any chance I can change the dates for this ticket? Anyone have any experience?
You'll incur a change fee and need to pay the fare difference. If you miraculously manage to do it please report back.

And i think the change fees are almost as much as the ticket.

The change fee isn't that much, relatively speaking, we they really get you is with the difference in the fare which can be mucho $$$.

But did the fare actually change that much, or does missing YQ count as a fare change?



I got an email stating my flight times changed, unfortunately the only change is that my PHL-YYZ flight is two minutes earlier, any way to leverage this to my advantage?

There's a huge difference in fare, including the YQ, and I tried convincing them a few times to change my ticket due to a few minute time change to no avail.

I kinda prefer they drop the YYZ leg (or route me directly), I don't need a date change.

i don't know whats been happening to people but i have so far been credited for the US airways flights i took and i have not yet flown the return.. flying on the 11:30 pm flight tonight.

out of fear of losing the points i booked an avios, flight yyz-lga, but for those feeling this out if they will get the miles, so far it looks like you should get what you flew..?.. - PURE speculation...

Hmmm..... Two days ago would be Saturday. It's now Monday. Maybe they don't work on Sunday?

That's what I speculated would happen if you credit to a partner.
