disagree on point 2, many flight do not show online and agents ca book it. you just need the correct rep

I base my data on 3 separate phone reps.

after adding on my FFN to the United ticket after booking with Turkish miles and paying taxes with eligible cc it still does not show free luggage benefit; United rep said they cannot do it manually.

any tips?

Have same problem, which is why it needs to be added prior to ticketing. Once ticketed, you lose all benefits.
Problem is that most reps “can’t” add mileage plus info prior to ticketing. This used to not be the case.

so no hack to get free luggage anymore?
the turkish reps cant do it or just dont want to do it?

just booked another award flight and taxes/fees were charged in Turkish Lira (as shown on receipt).

other oddities (1) united chat cant pull up this reservation though phone reps could (2) cant prepay luggage.

this happen to anyone else?

Just got an award ticket issued by TK on UA metal, and now I am noticing that they put Mr. instead of Ms. for the passenger. How do I fix (is it critical?), do I call TK or UA?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

U can always claim your a Mr.
In my experience flying domestic had no issues.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

Very critical, as for weight and balance she will be calculated as a male

;D

I reached out to TK to correct it. They put a rush on it. Between their rush and the 3+ hours delay of the flight, hopefully things get sorted out and the plane doesn't tip.
