UA now requires checkin and baggage check to be completed 75+ minutes in advance of UA154.
Show up T-74 and you will be denied per FT reports.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Good to know, but not that bad you can't plan around it.

Seeing as we checked in at t-74, we didn't realize how close we cut it (if we did at all!).

It seems this rule came into effect after our trip, but incredibly UA hasn't communicated the change to passengers booked on UA154.

How could they, short of publishing it on their website, which they have?

Crazy new technology called email where you can let people know of policy updates and shtuff like that.

ALOL @ the suggestion that UA will proactively email their customers. As if.

You'd be lucky to get an email prior to a flight being canceled. Proactive emails to all customers booked on UA 154? Never happening.

I'm considering it in late august as part of a MR to MNL. Looking at this: EWR-HNL-GUM(via hopper)-MNL;MNL-GUM-NRT-SFO-EWR

This may become the craziest travel week of my life! Trying to figure out if I have the guts to pull it off.

You'll only regret that which you don't do.

Though personally I'd take it to ROR over MNL.

:-)

Agreed. However, since this will be a paid ticket for PQMs on a status match, it's only valid at the price if I go to MNL. With GUM only a stopover from HNL on my way to MNL, I'm struggling to find a way to get ROR into the itinerary.

JFK-HND-JFK in ANA F for 120K VS.
NRT-GUM-TKK-PNI-KSA-KWA-MAJ//KWA-KSA-PNI-TKK-GUM-ROR//GUM-NRT for 30K UA.
Such a ridiculous bargain.
