UA is still trying to restore Asiana.

is the policy now to block UA biz ? or is it a glitch? -- -- still can not find across Atlantic biz LH on UA  site -- can see on Asiana LH BIZ

if policy is to block or fully deny -- then UA miles are same as Delta in my opinion -maybe just slightly better

Problems showing brussels again or just me?

This thursday 3 economy seats open TLV-BRU but UA won't show it, aeroplan, ANA, and EF all show the seats.
You may not hold me responsible for any actions taken that were recommended from my account or username.

United recently added Azul's international routes to be able to book it with mileage. Wasn't there a few weeks ago. Avail is very good, most days I checked beginning of 2015 being available. To search for these routes enter SAO (not VCP and not GRU). These flight do go to Campinas instead of GRU, so if you are connecting, Azul has a huge network there to get you virtually anywhere in Brazil, and if you are heading to SP, they have free shuttle buses about every half hour from Campinas to SP.
