Ambitious Upsell United

United sure is ambitious on the upgrade prices the day of departure. $35 and hour is a reasonable rate for me if I'm having a lousy day and it's not a 737.

$230 / Hour for First

Short Notice Bonus Miles

If you're spending $200 online, the United Mileage Mall has a 500 mile bonus. This could be enough to sway me from MrRebates temporarily. Offer ends April 1st.

A Little Here and There Adds Up

United Enforces Rules

Your travel on United must be in accordance with he contract of carriage. If you don't agree with the terms, don't fly them. Also employee benefit travel has its own set of rules and must be followed. I would like a stricter dress code for paying customers too.

Way To Go United

Farewell Virgin America and Product Differentiation

Alaska Airlines announced that they will be discontinuing the Virgin America brand and product. The VA first class seat was the best standard seat in the USA. I guess United's lame and uncomfortable 737 cabin won't looks so bad now.

Departing Soon

Important update on your upcoming flight

Denver airport (DEN) is experiencing especially high volumes of traffic. To allow time for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening for you and your bags, we recommend arriving at the airport at least two hours before your scheduled departure time, especially if you’re checking baggage.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to welcoming you on board.

Really United? Not really making me excited to travel.

Prepare for Disappointment

Short Flights

I'm averaging less than 1,000 per flight this year. Status will be difficult without a trip to Asia.

A Few Dreamliner Segments Would Do Nicely

Delta Product Photography

Product photography sets the tone and impression of your brand. Delta private jets did an acceptable and them miserable job in the same email.
