We have your record noted and will continue to check on availability with TG to see if we can get you confirmed in O class. ^KP
Thanks. #unitedunfriendly

We did call Thai. They were unable to assist us with getting O class confirmed. ^KP

On the phone for HUCA #1
And nothing doing. Everyone says there is nothing they can do-no award space. Flight is not until August-wait and see if something opens.
I hope UA Insider can do something.

Hi ergel,

I'm working on seeing what the options are with those who would know. I can't promise anything particularly since this involves a partner carrier but I will keep you posted as I know more.

Thanks for reaching out to us on this.

Regards,

There is availability on the a380 connecting through cdg instead of fra. Miss out on the FCT but then we'll both be confirmed in O. Should I switch?

If you really want FCT, why not go BKK-CDG-FRA-MUC ?

2. Have my wife kill me?

A happy wife is a happy life.

Though I think that it should also be a "happy man is a smart pension plan."

CDG is the worst airport in the world to connect in.

LHR ain't no walk in the park either.

Europe has some nasty hubs.

The LX Business is very good. Flat bed. I dont think its worth being cramped 4 hours in a small plane for having a nicer seat on a 7 hour flight.
