I booked a ticket on PS (flyuia.com) almost 2 weeks ago, I got a ticket number but I don't see the charge on my cc, is it possible that they issued a ticket without charging my card?

Any United phone number to get a US based call center?
If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

Ask a silver or higher to call for you (or enter his/her account info when you call).

I would like to fly Swiss Air and I have enough Miles and More points for 1 ticket and enough United points for one ticket. What are potential pitfalls of booking same flight for myself and wife/baby through different programs?

If you need to make any changes later (voluntary or due to IRROPS), it could get messy.

You will pay YQ with M&M also make sure there are enough seats available. Check both sites for at least 2 seats and makebsure theyre not phantom.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

However the infant is just "taxes and fuel surcharges" and not 10% of published.

Change/cancellation fees are waived for when change/cancellation is made at least 60 days before travel.

Hi. I have a ticket on aa from Miami to London connecting to ba from London to Newcastle (ba issued ticket) does anyone know if I can check my baggage to London and drop the last leg? How strict are ba/aa about this? (Very short stopover, so it will be hard to convince them I need the bag in Lhr.) Thanx.

miles tickets can only be upgraded by rebooking with the same mileage program you booked with. Unless you want to upgrade at the airport for cash.

My friend is flying UA91 on an MR paid ticket, is it possible to upgrade to business class? It’s not showing the option, however I can see that there’s 2 seats available...
