So why wouldn't they use 90K AS instead of $1500?

Perhaps that turned it into a revenue ticket?

17K may as well have been 1.7M if they didn't have the points.

Can buy 17K SPG for a whole lot less than $1,500.

The AS account was not so clean.... and he was worried that if he books F they will shut him down. Regardless, you're talking about ppl who $1500 is like $15 by most of us...

And they knew about it? Seems like they were surprised at the airport.

If not, that's pretty silly then. Even most rich people don't like just burning $100 bills.

P.S. 4 seats isn't terribly uncommon.

Anyone try this? UA F availability is fair. Can I get the chauffeur just when flying out of EWR or it has to be a connection?

At first glance it has to be a connection:

Quote
We will offer the chauffeur service, using Mercedes-Benz GL-Class vehicles, to some Global Services members and United Global First customers who are connecting at Newark to a domestic or international flight. Where feasible, representatives will meet Global Services and United Global First customers with applicable itineraries who may have tight connections and will drive them across the tarmac to their connecting flights.
