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!

My Flight is leaving LGA at 6:30 scheduled to arrive 7:41, i checked the stats on this flight - normal delay on is 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?

A friends and I credited our miles to United. I was originally on the same record locator as my friend, before we flew we split the itinerary. I got the new number and my friend kept the old. His miles got clawed back and mine didn't.
I wonder if this is flagged by itinerary number. If it is than a simple split (if there are 2 passengers) should help for one to keep his miles.
(Could be there is a way to get them to change the record locator number, but I have no idea)

Another friend who flew on his own record locator number also got a claw back.

I was booked on the same flight, when I got through security at LGA, I saw that there were 2 flights to PHL before mine and asked if I can get on one of them. They said no problem and actually told me that my original flight was delayed so it's a good idea. They pulled my luggage and it was easy.
When we landed in PHL, we did not have to switch terminals, I thought we did, but it was a really long walk, at least 15 minutes, maybe 20.
I think I read somewhere on this forum that people who missed the TLV flight were sent to Newark and sent on United or another airline.

I just got my miles clawed back also.
I am going to try and get them back since there was a snowstorm in Philadelphia that day and the flight was delayed more than 6 hours.  Not sure if it finally took off or not.
I called United, they said you have to talk to US Airways.  Says the note in the file says Miles should not be creditted.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I was originally supposed to depart from BOS and I got US to drop that leg and let me start in PHL.
Note that I had a schedule change of a few minutes.

All the recent glitches were on delta USAir or UA. Has there been any glitches with AA?

Don't know if someone here had such kind of story, but my friend credited the miles to a new UA account with no miles and used it right away, now he is seeing his account with minus the points that he used!

Did you get orbitz or US to drop the leg?
What was the reason you gave them?

I was able to drop the first leg because their is/was a weather advisory affecting Newark and lga, check us airways website for weather advisories.
speak to a supervisor, be persistent and huca if bad supervisor.

hey i actually am in israel right now and i was able to have the BOS-PHL leg cancelled by a really nice usair supervisor.
basically, there was only an hour in between flights so i told her especially with the bad weather nowadays an hour does not cut it to make it through all the security and to board the next plane. she agreed and very nicely cancelled flight.

Mind you I had to HUCA many many times,

Bad news guys.

Looks like US clawed back miles from A3...

Even though my PHL-YYZ flight was cancelled.

Time to raise hell.

That's ridiculous. How could they penalize you. You were gonna take the flight. They canceled it

And speak to whom. You think a csr you talk to or even a supervisor has access to communications with a3?
