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!

AFAIK all airlines have secondary security to TLV.



when i flew from phl to tlv last month, it seemed to me that the secondary security was quiet excessive, I usually fly UA from Ewr and its alot less serious

How can I check if a flight was delayed yesterday?

Don't worry. I wasn't about to accuse you of being mechalel shabbos. Unfortunately the flight was on time.

When I landed in PHL I got escorted by a friendly US employee to the check-in counter in order to check in to YYZ. I explained to the counter rep that I don't want to fly to YYZ, so she took my tags and cancelled them in the computer so it doesn't appear as if they are going to YYZ. I seriously don't understand why people freaked out when a US airways employee helped them with their bags to the check in counter. US didn't hire these workers to prey on people that got cheap tickets!

People had other experiences.

a couple of months after i booked tx for the family us airways sent me an email with a changed reservation.
they changed my phl-yyz flight from 7:33am to 7:35am.  can i call them and tell them that schedule change will not work for me?
hard to argue that 2 minutes etc. but as a consumer do i have rights?
thanks.

It's very unlikely that they'll accomodate you.

If you paid ~$469 for the flights, you stand a good chance. Either way, you have nothing to lose by trying.

I tried many times unsuccessfully. They really don't to accomodate the glitch flyers.

They accommodated me once by dropping one of my legs and then a few weeks later cancelled my ticket at my request.

I insisted on speaking to a supervisor and then after looking at the reservation she said "Actually, we're losing money on your ticket. Are you sure you want to cancel? If you were to rebook this today it would cost $1,800."

Received ~$50/pax back from cancelled PHL-YYZ leg.

Not as good as some of the others here (still waiting on their confirmations though), but every dollar helps! ;)

WOW-taking advantage of a price glitch, then getting a refund for a travel segment you never intended to take, and now trying to get them to pay for travel to a completely different destination.  I am shaking my head in disbelief.  I hope you were kidding about the rental

My Flight is leaving LGA at 6:30 scheduled to arrive 7:41 normal delay on these flights are 1/2 hour (without any winter condition - i'm flying Jan. 29) that means without any problems i will get to PHL around 8:10 - now i have to switch terminals - wait for the bus etc..... not certain that i will miss the flight but chances that i miss the connection are at around 50%. so my question to you is - what happens if i do miss the connecting flight ? (i have a weeding in Israel the end of march and i really want them to switch my tickets....) do they give me a refund - send me on the next flight (its Wednesday night so next flight is not an option besides i dont want to be in philly for a day).. how do these thing work?

US clawed back the miles I credited to UA. My wife and kids miles credited to A3 weren't clawed back.
