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!

Hello Donna

In my business I try and listen to every customer to understand the faults of my company and improve. I honestly believe not having a customer service telephone number is a bad business practice.I guess that is why you have a F ratting on the BBB  website.

I would like the opportunity to speak to you regarding a recent flight I took with your airline my  confirmation number CXXXX.I promise your time will not be wasted I just want to share with you my experience to help improve the experiences of others

I am currently overseas

You can reach me on my cell at XXXXXXXXX or I can call you

Look forward to speaking to you soon.

Thanks,

Bottom line she called me on my cell in USA and ripped me a new one

Not that bad.
They just don't like to hear this.

i got a call from US Airways "Hello Donna Palandi office for Nathan B are you available to speak to Donna?" I said yes.
Next she went on and on how she is very in tune with her customers (lol) I was pretty off guard for this convo she called me on thanksgiving day. bottom line she ripped me many new holes.. and all I got was a $150 Credit for each ticket

Returned yesterday on flight 771 uneventful. Fine flight. Arrived on time. Flight attendants walked around filling our water bottles up. Thanks Dan for affording me an opportunity to spend time in the Holy Land.
No problem going out of customs with my bag. I ripped the tag off just in case.
Just walked right out.

Wow. Taking it to another step.

Ok, so not really a merger question but didnt know where else to post.... We got home this morning from an awesome 10 days in Israel which we flew usair on the cheap summer tickets. When we got through customs and through passport control with our luggage usairways officials stopped us and took our luggage tags and said they are going to put notes next to our name so that they will always know we abused the hidden city ticketing. What does that mean and in the future am we no longer ale to partake in these deals? They were also profiling. All the younger families they stopped while even people who were in their 50's with kids and had bought their tickets in the summer they didn't bother stopping. They were only stopping young frum families to take their tags off our luggage. What does this mean?? Or will it also mean nothing if usair doesn't continue this flight to Israel anyway after the merger and that's the only time we fly usair...... Anyone?? Thanks!

We were on the flight from lga-phl on Nov 27. Delay was mechanical but pilot said we will still make connection due to ground stop in phl. We got stuck overnight in phl. Bad experience to say the least. I want to complain how to go about it?

I made the PHL - YYZ connection Dec 9, the flight was due to depart 9:39 but we left like 2 hours later.. I wasent happy but its a weather issue.

Now my other issue is, I have a 2nd flight, but my sister gets married 4 days before then return, can I get them to change the return flight ? and if they want to charge me, i'd be ok paying as long as I can change it from PHL - YYZ to PHL - FLL /MIA

Thoughts ? thanks

returned from TLV->PHL Dec 9
everything went ok besides whether delays. I found out later that besides the 3 hours delay to PHL there were more delays on my flight to YYZ.
I am hoping that gives me leverage for getting the FF miles on my account

Otherwise trip as great, thanks to all the posters of this deal

i had 2 suitcases and both overweight when checking in at lga and ready to pay all those fees (w/ Platinum cards of course), lady at check-in told me to just pay $50 for first-class status on flight to phi and that enabled me 2 suitcases of 70 lbs and bags went thru all the way to tlv!  sounds like good way to get cheap extra baggage

It's this always the case that it would go all the way to tlv? Or was it just a nice agent?
